Second Phase of Nepal Petroleum Pipeline Expansion Moves Forward

Work on the second phase of Nepal’s petroleum pipeline expansion has advanced through joint investment by Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) and Indian Oil Corporation (IOC).

The project covers the Jhapa–Siligudi pipeline, the Siligudi–Charali pipeline with a storage depot, and the Amlekhgunj–Lothar line, combining technical and financial support from IOC. NOC will construct a storage facility in Chitwan, while IOC will build infrastructure on the Indian side.

The pipelines, stretching 62 km from Amlekhgunj to Lothar and 50 km from Siligudi to Charali, are expected to cut annual fuel transport costs by Rs 5–6 billion. Pipeline installation is scheduled to begin within nine months.
