The existing practice of sending diesel from Numaligarh Refineries Limited (NRL) in India to Bangladesh is by rail. To establish and expansion of the oil and gas pipeline infrastructure in Bangladesh, India Bangladesh Friendship Pipeline (IBFP) Project has been launched, wherein it is proposed to construct a pipeline of approximately 130 km from the Siliguri Marketing Terminal (SMT) of the Numaligarh Refinery Ltd (NRL) in India to the Parbatipur depot of the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) in Bangladesh for transportation of High Speed Diesel. NRL intends to install 10.75” OD x 130.361 km (approx.) long transnational pipeline from Siliguri in India to Parbatipur in Bangladesh. The present project (Part-B) scope covers approx. 74.258 km long 10.75” OD pipeline and associated facilities from chainage 5.742 km (just after HDD exit point of Mahananda River) to chainage 80.000 km (in Bangladesh), installation of SV-1 CUM CTM (Custody transfer metering), other Sectionalizing valve stations (SV-2 & SV-3) and other associated pipeline facilities.
