The proposed project aims to enhance India\u2019s <strong>energy security<\/strong>, reduce dependence on volatile LNG imports, and ensure uninterrupted gas supply from the Gulf region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deep-sea pipeline is expected to run across the <strong>Arabian Sea<\/strong>, bypassing sensitive maritime routes like the <strong>Strait of Hormuz<\/strong>, which has recently seen geopolitical tensions disrupting global energy flows. Officials estimate that the pipeline will take <strong>5 to 7 years<\/strong> to complete once it receives final approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%8C%8A_Route_Capacity_and_Technical_Design\"><\/span>\ud83c\udf0a Route, Capacity and Technical Design<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The proposed pipeline, often referred to as the <strong>Middle East\u2013India Deepwater Pipeline (MEIDP)<\/strong>, is planned to stretch approximately <strong>1,600\u20132,000 km<\/strong> underwater. It will connect Oman\u2019s coastline to Gujarat\u2019s western shore, likely near Porbandar or nearby coastal hubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pipeline is designed to transport around <strong>31 million metric standard cubic metres per day (MMSCMD)<\/strong> of natural gas. It will be one of the <strong>deepest offshore pipeline projects globally<\/strong>, with depths reaching over <strong>3,000 metres<\/strong> in some sections of the Arabian Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%9A%A1_Strategic_Energy_Significance\"><\/span>\u26a1 Strategic Energy Significance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This project is part of India\u2019s long-term strategy to diversify energy sources and reduce vulnerability to global supply chain disruptions. It also supports India\u2019s goal of increasing the share of natural gas in its energy mix from current levels to a cleaner, more sustainable energy structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr
