Background

The Mundra-Panipat Pipeline transports crude oil from Mundra on the Gujarat coast to IndianOil's refinery at Panipat in Haryana using Gujarat Adani Port's Single Point Mooring (SPM) offshore crude oil terminal facilities and associated offshore and onshore pipelines. Commissioned in 2007, the pipeline initially provided a capacity rate of 6 million tonnes per annum (MMTPA)(120,000 barrels per day). The pipeline cost Rs. 300 crore and its construction included eight, 60,000-kL-capacity crude oil storage tanks at Mundra.

In 2011, IndianOil completed the planned augmentation of the pipeline from 6 to 9 MMTPA (180,000 barrels per day).

Spills

In June 2008, the pipeline spilled about 50,000 L of oil in the Jaipur village of Jamdoli.

In May 2012, "some miscreants" damaged the pipeline at Jataon Ka Bass in Jaisinghpura Khor in Jaipur district.
