The expression of interest submitted by Adani Total Private Limited (ATPL) to the upstream regulator PNGRB to lay, build, operate or expand the natural gas pipeline from Haldia to Panitar faces opposition from H-Energy.
H-Energy, which has been awarded the Kanai Chatta Srirampur Pipeline (KSPL) by PNGRB, said the proposed pipeline would be a duplication of infrastructure, thereby raising costs for consumers.
Adani in its EoI had stated that the proposed pipeline will be connected to Jagdishpur-Haldia and Bokaro-Dhamra Pipeline (JHBDPL) and supply in demand centres in Bengal (Calcutta, Howrah, Dum Dum, Kolaghat). The end point of the pipeline is Panitar (near Indo-Bangla Border).
