Adani shelves Bengal pipeline project

Adani Total Private Limited has withdrawn its EoI to build a natural gas pipeline from Haldia to Panitar following objections by H-Energy (Hiranandani Energy) and others.

Adani Total has “withdrawn the said EoI. Accordingly, it has been decided to close the said EoI”, the upstream regulator PNGRB said in a notification. The Telegraph had earlier reported that the EoI was strongly opposed by H-Energy and others.

H-Energy, which has been awarded the Kanai Chatta-Srirampur Pipeline (KSPL) by the PNGRB, said the Adani project would lead to a duplication of infrastructure.
