MINISTER  OF  STATE  (INDEPENDENT  CHARGE)  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF PETROLEUM & NATURAL GAS (SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

(a) to (e):  A statement is laid on the Table of the House.

## STATEMENT REFERRED IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) to (e) OF THE LOK SABHA STARRED  QUESTION  NO.113  ASKED  BY  SHRI  HARIOM  SINGH  RATHORE AND ADV. M. UDHAYAKUMAR, MPs. TO BE ANSWERED ON JULY 25, 2016

(a) : The  details  of  the  existing  and  on-going  industrial  and  domestic  gas  pipeline network  to  transport  gas  across  the  country,  State/UT/projects/company-wise  including ONGC and GAIL are at Annexure-I .

(b)to (d): Government  has  envisaged  to  develop  another  15,000  Km  of  pipeline network in  order  to  form  a  National  Gas  Grid.  Out  of  this  envisaged  additional  pipeline network,  Government/PNGRB  has  already  authorized  entities  to  construct  about  14,500 Km long pipelines. Out of the said approved pipeline projects, there is no pipeline project of  ONGC which is stalled. However, the work in a section of pipeline project of GAIL, namely,  Kochi-Koottanad-Bangalore-Mangalore  Pipeline  (KKBMPL)  is  stalled  due  to severe resistance from farmers and land owners in the State of Kerala (part) and Tamilnadu.

As  regards  acquisition  of  land  for  pipeline  laying  and  payment  of  compensation  thereof given to land owners, the Right of Use (RoU)/land has been acquired under the provisions of Sections 3 and 6 of the Petroleum & Mineral Pipeline (PMP) Act, 1962 and necessary land compensation as per Section 10 of the above Act is given to the concern land owners from  time  to  time  in  synchronization  with  pipeline  project  execution.  The  details  of  the approved  pipeline  projects  along  with  the  cost  of  the  said  projects,  investment  made  by public  and  private  sector  companies,  current  status  of  land  acquisition  and  scheduled completion of the said pipeline projects are at Annexure-II .

(e): Against the total installed pipeline capacity of about 430 MMSCMD, average gas flow  in  FY  2015-16  was  about  148  MMSCMD.  This  is  mainly  due  to  (i)  decline  of domestic  gas  availability  and  (ii)  demand  of  RLNG  being  price  sensitive  in  Indian  gas market. In order to improve the utilization of infrastructure, Government has implemented two major schemes- one in Fertilizer (Urea) sector and the other in gas based Power sector.
