EAC flags pipeline mismatch in OIL's Naoholia proposal – 7 Jul 2025

Oil India Limited’s bid to establish a 10,000 KLPD crude processing tank farm in Assam was returned by the Expert Appraisal Committee after it flagged a major discrepancy in pipeline length claims.

The project team stated a new line would be under 1 km, but satellite checks showed a 2.92 km stretch—prompting the panel to demand accurate alignment data and stronger submission discipline.
