The company plans to use drones on a 200-km stretch of the HBJ pipeline in the Chambal Ravines in Mahya Pradesh.

The drones will be used to patrol the pipeline to detect physical abnormal activity like encroachment or intrusion on the pipeline. Besides, the company has also started using satellite surveillance to monitor its 13,000-km of gas pipeline network.
