Dilip Buildcon Wins Rs 1,800 Crore LPG Pipeline Order
Dilip Buildcon has announced a proposed project to build an LPG pipeline system.
LPG is currently transported by road in tanker trucks for this purpose.
The new pipeline would carry LPG to bottling plants used by different oil companies.
This could reduce the need for tanker transportation on roads.
The company says this may improve road safety.
Dilip Buildcon would create a special company to carry out the project.
It would own all of that special company.
The construction contract could be worth about Rs 1,800 crore, but the project still needs required approvals.
Dilip Buildcon Limited will develop proposed LPG pipeline infrastructure through a wholly owned special purpose vehicle.
The project will involve designing, financing, constructing, operating and maintaining the pipeline, subject to regulatory approvals.
The pipeline is intended to transport LPG to bottling plants operated by various Oil Marketing Companies.
The project aims to replace road-based LPG transportation by tankers and improve road safety.
The proposed Engineering, Procurement and Construction contract is valued at approximately Rs 1,800 crore, excluding GST, with completion expected within 36 months.
