DIBRUGARH, July 10: In a pivotal initiative to boost the natural gas infrastructure in Northeast India, Brahmaputra Cracker and Polymer Limited (BCPL) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Indradhanush Gas Grid Limited (IGGL). This agreement allows for the sharing of the Right of Use (RoU) of BCPL’s existing pipeline for the upcoming Duliajan Feeder Pipeline project.
This partnership aims to enhance the efficiency of current infrastructure, expedite project execution, and fortify the expanding natural gas network in the region. The MoU was formalized at BCPL’s Lepetkata facility, with Sitangshu Paul, chief general manager (operations & maintenance) of BCPL, and Gautam Kumar Das, chief operating officer of IGGL, signing the agreement in the presence of senior officials from both organizations.
