The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) authorises about 1,800 km of new LPG pipeline infrastructure, with an estimated capital investment of around ₹7,000 crore. The decision expands India’s common carrier pipeline network and adds further capacity for the transport of liquefied petroleum gas.
Both outlets report that the authorisation is expected to increase the total LPG pipeline network by roughly 24%. Business Line also cites the resulting size of the network as approximately 9,500 km, reflecting cumulative growth from the newly approved project(s). The coverage is largely aligned on the headline figures: the pipeline length, the investment amount, and the approximate percentage increase in the overall network. Neither outlet provides detailed timelines or project-level locations in the provided excerpts, so specific implementation phases are not compared here.
