Petrol, diesel, domestic LPG and jet fuel (ATF) are currently trucked from IOC's depot at Raxaul to Nepal. The 41-kilometre pipeline -- 2 km in India and 39 km in Nepal -- will initially supply petrol, diesel and kerosene.
The pipeline, IOC said, will "ensure long-term supply of petroleum products to Nepal as well as stability of supplies from India to Nepal, which will benefit both the countries". India exports about USD 1.1 billion worth of petroleum products per annum to Nepal. Bulk of this volume will be transported through this pipeline.
