Work under the Rs 9,265-crore North East Gas Grid (NEGG) project is expected to be completed in Tripura by March next year, an official said on Friday.
Under the NEGG project as part of a plan to synchronise gas supply in the region, 253 km of gas pipeline will be laid across seven districts in the northeastern state.
“The North East Gas Grid (NEGG) project in seven districts of Tripura is being undertaken by a joint venture entity- Indradhanus Gas Grid Ltd (IGGL) having stakes of five companies- GAIL, IOCL, OIL, NRL (Numaligarh Refinery Ltd) and ONGC,” state Industries and Commerce Department’s Director Vishwasree B told PTI.
Of the total 253 km pipeline target in the state, around 105 km has been covered so far while the “remaining portion of the project, which is under various stages- land acquisition, pipeline welding and laying of the pipeline - will be completed by March 2025”, she said.
