PRAGATI, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's platform for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, held its 50th meeting, focusing on the Ennore-Thiruvallur-Bengaluru-Puducherry-Nagapattinam-Madurai-Tuticorin Natural Gas Pipeline (ETBPNMTPL) project. Launched in 2015, PRAGATI facilitates real-time monitoring of infrastructure projects and public grievances.
The ETBPNMTPL project, executed by Indian Oil Corporation Limited, aims to enhance natural gas access across Southern India. Sanctioned on 27 May 2016 at a cost of over 6,000 crore rupees, it spans approximately 1,400 km with an authorized capacity of 84.67 Million Metric Standard Cubic Metres per Day.
The pipeline traverses Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Puducherry to support industrial demand and City Gas Distribution networks. The project was reviewed under PRAGATI on 29 August 2018, with only 17.4 percent physical progress due to land acquisition and environmental clearance issues.
