Trials have begun to import petroleum products through a pipeline from India's Motihari to Amlekhganj in Bara. For this, testing has been started with the completion of petroleum pipeline expansion.

Pralayankar Acharya, Head of Nepal Oil Corporation Madhes Regional Office, Amlekhganj, informed that the entire work of expansion of Motihari-Amlekhganj petroleum pipeline has been completed and the import of petrol and kerosene through the pipeline has been started for testing.

"We have brought 5,500 KL of petrol and 1,000 KL of kerosene from the extended pipeline to test the pipeline," Acharya said. The test is being done.

Along with this, necessary preparations are being made for regular import of petroleum products through the pipeline, he said. "Even though it is said that regular import of petroleum products will be done through the pipeline from January 2025, it will be delayed by a few days as the necessary preparations have not been completed," he said.

Under the pipeline expansion project, Indian Oil Corporation has installed two petrol tanks with a capacity of 4,100 kiloliters, two transmix tanks with a capacity of 250 kiloliters, 24 Acharya says that fully automatic loading way-refiller, pump house and laboratory have been constructed. 

Under the same project, upgrading of fire fighting system, OWS system for separating water and oil and PMCC room have also been constructed.
