2018-08-09

The Odisha Pollution Control Board has given its nod to Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) for the expansion of its Paradip-Haldia-Durgapur LPG pipeline (PHDPL).

The Paradip-Balasore section of the PHDPL is already operational for delivery of LPG to IOCL?s bottling plant in Balasore.

With an estimated length of about 678 km, PHDPL?s originating pump station is located at Paradip, with Balasore, serving as the scrapper and delivery station. With a capacity of 0.5 million tonne per annum (mtpa), the pipeline would transport LPG from Paradip, the Haldia refinery and Indian Oil Petronas to LPG bottling plants in Balasore, Budge Budge, Kalyani, and Durgapur.
