One option that is still under consideration is to take gas to Mangalore through a 286 km, 24-inch spur line that goes from Bidadi on the Dabhol-Bangalore pipeline along the ROU of HPCL's LPG pipeline all the way to Mangalore.
8Two other options were also investigated -- a 330 km line from Goa along the NH 17 highway or the coast or a 312 km spur line from Hivvinahadagalli -- but eventually the spur line from Bidadi on the Dabhol-Bangalore pipeline was found to be the most viable option.
8The point to note is that the capacity utilization of the Dabhol-Mangalore pipeline (DBPL) is currently only at 10% and it may take up to seven years to reach the 60% utilization rate against the design capacity of 16 mscmd.
8What is more, the envisaged power project at Bidadi is under litigation and may not eventually come through and that case the gas pressure at Bidadi should be sufficient to supply around 3 to 5 mmscmd of gas to Mangalore through a 24-inch spur line without installing an auxiliary compressor till the pipeline reaches the 75% utilization rate.
8The spur line to Mangalore is to go along the ROU of the proposed Mangalore-Hasan-Solur LPG pipeline that has been authorized by PNGRB for HPCL to build.
