GAIL’s natural gas pipe laying work in Kerala is all set to resume with the company agreeing in-principle to hike the compensation amount. The company’s gas pipe laying work slowed down after resistance from local people asking more compensation for the land through which the pipe was passing.
The company has agreed to pay 30 per cent of the fair value of the land to the owners of the land considering Kerala’s situation and has also decided to bring down the width of the land for laying pipe line from 20 meters, which is the standard practice, to 10 meters in Kerala.
GAIL is India's flagship natural gas company integrating all aspects of the natural gas value chain including exploration and production, processing, transmission, distribution and marketing and related services.
