In news

The Prime Minister Narendra Modi will dedicate the Kochi-Mangaluru Natural Gas Pipeline to the nation on January 5 at 11 am via video conferencing.

Key Highlights

The 450-km pipeline has been built by GAIL (India) Ltd
It has transportation capacity of 12 million standard cubic metres per day
It will carry natural gas from the liquefied natural gas (LNG) regassification terminal at Kochi to Mangaluru
Laying of the pipeline was an engineering challenge as the route of the pipeline necessitated it to cross water bodies at more than 100 locations. This was done through a special technique called horizontal directional drilling method.
The pipeline will supply environment friendly and affordable fuel to households, transportation sector and to commercial and industrial units across the districts along the pipeline.
