Background

The 24-inch pipeline has a capacity of 175,000 barrels per day (bpd). It is operated by Cairn India with 70% ownership. The remaining 30% is owned by the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC). The project was approved by the Indian Government in December 2007. Construction on the project's first phase was formally launched in June 2008. The first phase was commissioned for commercial operation in June 2010. Construction of the remaining 49-mile (78.8km) section as part of the second phase began in the third quarter of 2012.

In August 2015, Cairn India announced a Rs. 1,400 crore project that included an expansion of the existing pipeline from 200,000 barrels per day to 300,000 barrels per day.
