A gas terminal will be set up at Dhamra, while gas pipeline from Jagdishpur in UP to Haldia in WB and from Bokaro in Jharkhand to Paradip via Dhamra would be laid. While these States would get gas for industries, agriculture, households in major cities would get cooking gas through pipe. Bhubaneswar and Cuttack residents would be provided gas through pipe in next 2 to 2.5 years. Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Dharmendra Pradhan revealed this after the Union Cabinet approved the gas pipeline project of `16,000 crore for the eastern States, including `13,000 crore for laying the pipeline and `6,000 for connecting to household consumers through pipe in cities. Pradhan said the pipeline project would enhance Odisha’s status as a gateway of energy of eastern India.
