Bangladesh and India are set to construct a 130 km long pipeline aiming at pumping Indian oil into Bangladesh. The oil pipeline will connect Bangladesh’s northern Parbatipur of Dinajpur district and Shiliguri of Indian State of West Bengal with Bangladesh. The pipeline will have the capacity of transporting 1 million metric tonnes of fuel from India. Bangladesh and India signed memorandum of understandings (MoUs) on April 9, 2018 to set up the pipeline. The construction of the pipeline started on 31 August 2018. The 5-km Indian leg of the 1 million tonne capacity pipeline will be financed by the Assam-based Numaligarh Refinery, a BPCL subsidiary. The remaining 125 km of the pipeline will be in Bangladesh and is financed through India’s ongoing development cooperation programme. The total cost of the pipeline is pegged at approximately US$5 million. Depending on the availability of the right of way in Bangladesh, the pipeline is scheduled to be completed in 27 months. The project will replace the existing practice of sending diesel by rail, covering a distance of 510 km.
