INFRASTRUCTURE
DEVELOPMENT
The HBJ pipeline carries most of the
India’s liquid natural gas.
Hazira in Gujarat, north of Mumbai
would have been the end terminal of
the HBJ pipeline.
But in 1997, Enron international
announced plans to link Dabhol
because of its existing power
generation facilities.
Moreover, Enron said they will add
about 1500 miles to the HBJ pipeline,
whose development costs $300 - $900
million.
