The Board of state-run GAIL India gave an in-principle approval for laying a Rs 2,500- crore gas pipeline from Dabhol in Maharashtra to Bangalore.

"At its Board and Strategy review meeting held in Bangalore, the company management gave the go-ahead for further time-bound action and finalisation of the project execution plans," GAIL said in a press release.

Depending on the source and customer tie-up, the 30-inch, 30-km Dabhol-Bangalore gas pipeline will be designed to carry 16 million standard cubic meters per day of gas.

"The project shall be appraised/updated in respect of investment, customers identification, routing of the pipeline and freezing the design parameters before final investment approval by the GAIL Board."

The route of the proposed pipeline is from LNG terminal of Ratnagiri Gas and Power Pvt Ltd (RGPPL) at Dabhol up to Bangalore. The pipeline will pass through Ratnagiri and Kolhapur districts of Maharashtra and Belgaum, Dharwad, Haveri, Davangere, Chitradurga, Tumkur and Bangalore districts of Karnataka. With this pipeline, natural gas from RGPPLs LNG Terminal can be supplied to industrial clusters in the state of Maharashtra and Karnataka, GAIL said.
