The government has ambitious plan to lay 6,900 km of gas pipelines linking Bangladesh, Myanmar, most north-eastern states, and West Bengal, ONGCBSE 1.13 % Executive director S.C. Soni said here.
"As part of Hydrocarbon Vision 2030 for North-eastern region, 6,900 km pipelines would be laid connecting Sitwe (Myanmar), Chittagong (Bangladesh), most north-eastern states, Siliguri and Durgapur," Soni told reporters on Saturday.
Currently, large quantities of gas is flared (burned) in the north-eastern region because it can't be piped to the consumers, he said. (Courtesy of economictimes.indiatimes.com)
