GAIL’s Rs 4.7k-crore KKBMPL to go live in 3 months
Decks are nearly cleared for the commissioning of GAIL’s Rs 4,700-crore Karnataka- Kerala LNG pipeline, although 15 months after its proposed deadline. Only 3 km of the 444-km pipeline is currently left to be completed and the project may be commissioned by March, said Kerala industry minister EP Jayarajan.
“The Kerala government had taken the lead in allaying the safety concerns of the protesters in north Kerala, who had formed a collective. GAIL was able to speed up the construction, after it was explained to them that the LNG pipeline is safer than the transportation using tankers and that GAIL was taking all safety measures,” the minister told FE.
