Publication of corrigendum notification in the Extra Ordinary Gazette of India under Section 6(1) of the PMP Act 1962 (50 of 1962) relating to land schedule in respect of Kandla Gorakhpur LPG Pipeline to be laid by IHB limited for acquisition of ROU Tehsil Sanwer Distt Indore in the state of Madhya Pradesh
## Policy Analysis Report: Acquisition of Right of User for Kandla-Gorakhpur LPG Pipeline
**1. Executive Summary:**
This report analyzes a notification from the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Government of India, regarding the acquisition of the right of user in land for the Kandla-Gorakhpur LPG Gas Pipeline Project in Madhya Pradesh. The notification declares the acquisition of right of user in specified land in District Indore for the project and directs that this right vests in IHB Limited, who will be responsible for compensation.
**2. Introduction:**
The purpose of this report is to provide an informative overview and analysis of a notification published by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Government of India, concerning the acquisition of land rights for the Kandla-Gorakhpur LPG Gas Pipeline Project. This analysis is based solely on the information provided in the notification text.
**3. Policy Overview:**
* This appears to be a new declaration regarding land acquisition for the pipeline project, following an earlier notification (S.O. No 3545 E Dated 27th August, 2021).
* **Core Objective:** To acquire the right of user in specific land for the laying of the Kandla-Gorakhpur LPG Gas Pipeline Project, ensuring the transportation of LPG gas.
**4. Background and Rationale:**
* **Likely Problem Addressed:** The policy addresses the need to secure land rights for the construction and operation of the Kandla-Gorakhpur LPG Gas Pipeline. The pipeline project requires specific land parcels for its physical infrastructure. The prior notification and subsequent acquisition declaration suggest a process of identifying and legally securing those land rights. Without securing these rights, the pipeline construction would be impeded.
**5. Key Provisions / Changes:**
* **New Policy:** The notification formally declares the acquisition of the right of user in the land specified in the schedule.
* The right of user in the land is vested in IHB Limited instead of the Central Government.
* IHB Limited is exclusively liable for any compensation related to the land acquisition, as per Section 10 of the Petroleum and Minerals Pipelines (Acquisition of Right of User in Land) Act, 1962 (PMP Act, 1962).
* No legal action or claim can be brought against the Central Government regarding the pipeline project.
* The specific land area acquired is detailed in the Schedule, including the district, state, tehsil, village, survey numbers, and area (in Square Hectare Are Meter). Specifically, the identified land parcel is in:
* District: Indore
* State: Madhya Pradesh
* Tehsil: Sanwer
* Village: MawalaKhedi
* Survey No.: 1072
* Area: 00 01 63 1111 00 04 67 Square Hectare Are Meter
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
* **Directly Affected:** IHB Limited, landowners in the specified areas (MawalaKhedi village, Sanwer Tehsil, Indore District, Madhya Pradesh), and potentially residents or businesses operating on or near the affected land.
* **Other Stakeholders:** The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Government of India; potentially consumers and distributors of LPG gas who will benefit from the pipeline's operation; construction companies involved in the project.
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible Agency:** IHB Limited is responsible for laying the pipeline and paying compensation to landowners. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas oversees the process and issues the notification. A "Competent Authority" is mentioned as submitting a report, suggesting a role in land assessment.
* **Procedures:** The notification follows a process outlined in the Petroleum and Minerals Pipelines (Acquisition of Right of User in Land) Act, 1962, including initial notification, a report from a competent authority, and final declaration of acquisition. Compensation is to be handled according to Section 10 of the PMP Act, 1962.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
* The primary intended outcome is to enable the construction of the Kandla-Gorakhpur LPG Gas Pipeline by legally securing the necessary land rights.
* Vesting the right of user in IHB Limited streamlines the process and places the responsibility for compensation directly on the company building the pipeline. This is likely intended to expedite the project and clarify liability.
* The explicit statement that the Central Government is not liable for claims related to the pipeline aims to shield the government from legal challenges and financial burdens associated with the project.
**9. Conclusion:**
The notification represents a crucial step in the Kandla-Gorakhpur LPG Gas Pipeline Project by securing the right of user in the specified land for pipeline construction. The vesting of these rights in IHB Limited, along with the responsibility for compensation, aims to facilitate efficient project implementation and clarify legal liabilities. The successful implementation of this notification is essential for the timely completion of the pipeline and the subsequent transportation of LPG gas.
