Dhaka-Ctg fuel oil pipeline set for commissioning in January

The first ever Dhaka-Chattogram fuel oil transportation pipeline is set to be commissioned towards the end of January 2025 aimed at beginning commercial operation from April, saving an amount of Tk. 236 crore in transport cost annually.
"The pipeline would not only ensure the secure transportation of fuel oil but also eliminate costs and misuse of fuel," chairman of Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) Amin Ul Ahsan told BSS.
He said the 250-kilometre fuel oil transportation pipeline from Chattogram to Dhaka has been installed at a cost of Tk. 3698 crore, adding, "It has the capacity of carrying 54 lakh tonnes of diesel per year for 25 years without any major disorder. The capital requires only 27 lakh tonnes fuel oil per year."
