Major Pipeline Networks

In the context of transportation in India, pipeline networks are emerging as significant contributors to the economic landscape. This section discusses how pipelines, alongside other means of transport—such as roadways, railways, and waterways—function together to enhance trade and connectivity in the country.

Key Pipeline Networks

India's major pipelines support the transport of crude oil, petroleum products, and natural gas across regions, connecting production fields with industrial hubs. The section outlines three crucial pipeline routes:
1. From Upper Assam to Kanpur - This pipeline travels through Guwahati, Barauni, and Allahabad, with branch lines extending to Haldia and Siliguri.
2. From Salaya, Gujarat to Jalandhar, Punjab - This route connects key industrial locations through several branches.
3. Hazira-Vijaipur-Jagdishpur (HVJ) Gas Pipeline - Stretching 1,700 km, this pipeline links Mumbai High and Bassein gas fields to various industrial complexes, significantly extending India's gas pipeline network from 1,700 km to 18,500 km.

Significance

Pipelines present a reliable, efficient method to transport commodities, featuring low operational costs after initial investments. They play an essential role in supporting economic development, especially in regions where raising transportation infrastructure is challenging. This highlights the interconnectedness of pipelines with trade and overall socio-economic progress in India.

There are three important networks of pipeline transportation in the country.

Detailed Explanation

In India, there are three major pipeline networks that transport essential resources. These pipelines help in moving crude oil, petroleum products, and natural gas across different parts of the country. Pipelines are vital for connecting regions with oil and gas fields to refineries and power plants, facilitating efficient transportation.

Examples & Analogies

Think of pipelines like long water hoses that stretch across the landscape. Just as hoses carry water from a tap to your garden, these pipelines carry important fuels and gases to factories and homes, ensuring they have what they need to function.

First Pipeline Network

From oil field in upper Assam to Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh), via Guwahati, Barauni and Allahabad. It has branches from Barauni to Haldia, via Rajbandh, Rajbandh to Maurigram and Guwahati to Siliguri.

Detailed Explanation

The first significant pipeline network begins in upper Assam, which is known for its oil fields, and stretches all the way to Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh. This network connects major cities like Guwahati and Barauni, ensuring that oil from the northeast reaches these urban areas effectively. It also includes branches that link to Haldia and Siliguri, expanding its reach.

Examples & Analogies

Imagine this pipeline as a delivery system for a restaurant. The kitchen (Assam) prepares food (oil), and the delivery service (pipeline) takes the food to different locations (Kanpur, Haldia), ensuring that customers receive their meals on time.

Second Pipeline Network

From Salaya in Gujarat to Jalandhar in Punjab, via Viramgam, Mathura, Delhi and Sonipat. It has branches to connect Koyali (near Vadodara, Gujarat) Chakshu and other places.

Detailed Explanation

The second network runs from Salaya in Gujarat to Jalandhar in Punjab, passing through key locations like Mathura and Delhi. This network is crucial for transporting petroleum products across the western and northern parts of India, and includes branches that enhance connectivity to various local areas.

Examples & Analogies

Think of this pipeline as a large river that flows from a mountain (Gujarat) to a valley (Punjab), nourishing the lands it passes through (Mathura and Delhi) with water (petroleum products), which is essential for agriculture and industries.

The first 1,700 km long Hazira-Vijaipur-Jagdishpur (HVJ) cross country gas pipeline, linked Mumbai High and Bassein gas fields with various fertilizer, power and industrial complexes in western and northern India. Overall, India’s gas pipeline infrastructure has expanded from 1,700 km to 18,500 km of cross-country pipelines.

Detailed Explanation

The HVJ pipeline was the first major gas pipeline in India, running 1,700 km and establishing a vital connection from gas fields to various industrial complexes. Over the years, India's pipeline network has significantly expanded to 18,500 km, showcasing the growing need for efficient gas transport for industries, especially those involved in fertilizer and power production.

Examples & Analogies

Consider this pipeline like a major highway that facilitates long-distance travel for commuters. Just as highways enable trucks to deliver goods efficiently across states, the HVJ pipeline allows natural gas to reach factories and power plants, fueling economic development.
