Essar Projects, a leading EPC company, on Wednesday said it has won a contract from GSPL India Gasnet Ltd (GIGL) for laying a 100-km pipeline from Jalandhar to Amritsar in Punjab, part of GIGL’s 2,100-km Mehsana-Bhatinda-Jammu-Srinagar Pipeline (MBJSPL) project.
The project involves laying of natural gas pipelines, with diameters ranging from 12 inches to 18 inches, between Jalandhar and Amritsar, a critical segment of the MBJSPL project that passes through 29 districts in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir.
The MBJSPL project has been initiated to cater to the growing demand for natural gas in India.
