The Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Shri Rameswar Teli in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today informed that with the aim to increase the share of natural gas in the Primary Energy mix, there is focus on developing the Natural Gas infrastructure in the country and to implement “One Nation One Gas Grid”. Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) is the body to authorize the development of pipelines and 33,500 km Natural Gas Pipeline network has been authorized across the country. Out of this, 21,715 km Natural Gas Pipelines are operational and a total of 13,605 km length of pipelines is under various stages of construction. Expansion of pipeline infrastructure is a continuous effort based on gas demand assessment of various regions. The projects are being undertaken as per the timelines approved by PNGRB. Details of fully operational and under construction common carrier natural gas pipelines are at Annexure.
