Pipeline commissioning helps Essar deliver coal gas to fertiliser plant
The commissioning of the Dhobi-Durgapur gas pipeline has helped Essar deliver gas it produces from coal seams to Durgapur fertiliser plant in West Bengal via GAIL, helping meet the urea requirement of the state.
The company said the pipeline will help evacuate gas from its Raniganj coal-bed methane (CBM) block to the Matix fertilizer plant at Durgapur. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated 348-km Dobhi-Durgapur natural gas pipeline built by GAIL.
Prashant Ruia, Director, Essar Capital, said, “As Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji dedicates the Dhobi-Durgapur natural gas pipeline, a vision achieves reality. With investments of Rs 5,000 crore made towards our Raniganj block, it’s an honour for Essar to be part of this vision of providing clean energy to India.”
He went on to complement the government of West Bengal for its sustained development work over the years and taking strong steps to help the state transition to clean energy.
