Publication of Notification in the Extra Ordinary Gazette of India under the Petroleum and Minerals Pipelines (ARUL) Act, 1962 for Dhamra Haldia Pipeline (DHPL) of GAIL (India) Limited.
## Policy Analysis Report: Acquisition of Right of User for Dhamra-Haldia Pipeline
**1. Executive Summary:**
This report analyzes a notification issued by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Government of India, regarding the acquisition of the Right of User (RoU) in land for the Dhamra-Haldia Pipeline (DHPL) project, an expansion of the Jagdishpur-Haldia-Bokaro-Dhamra Pipeline. The notification, published on April 26, 2022, declares the government's intention to acquire RoU in specific land parcels in the state of Odisha for laying the pipeline. This report details the policy's objective, the rationale for land acquisition, key provisions, affected parties, and potential outcomes.
**2. Introduction:**
This report aims to provide a clear and concise analysis of the notification S.O. 1956E, issued by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Government of India, pertaining to the acquisition of Right of User (RoU) for the Dhamra-Haldia Pipeline (DHPL) project in Odisha. The analysis is based solely on the provided policy text.
**3. Policy Overview:**
* This is a *new policy* specifically addressing land acquisition for the Dhamra-Haldia Pipeline project.
* **Core Objective:** The core objective is to facilitate the transportation of natural gas through the Dhamra-Haldia Pipeline (DHPL) by acquiring the Right of User (RoU) in land required for laying the pipeline. This is explicitly stated within the text: "...for transportation of natural gas through DhamraHaldia Pipeline DHPL as an expansion of JagdishpurHaldiaBokaro Dhamra Pipeline..."
**4. Background and Rationale:**
The policy addresses the need to establish a pipeline infrastructure for the transportation of natural gas. The text indicates that the Dhamra-Haldia Pipeline (DHPL) is an expansion of the existing Jagdishpur-Haldia-Bokaro-Dhamra Pipeline. The rationale, as explicitly stated, is that acquiring the Right of User (RoU) is "necessary in public interest" to lay the pipeline for transporting natural gas.
**5. Key Provisions / Changes:**
* The Government of India declares its intention to acquire the Right of User (RoU) in the land described in the attached schedule.
* The notification explicitly references the "Petroleum and Minerals Pipelines Acquisition of Right of User in Land Act, 1962" (50 of 1962), indicating this acquisition falls under the provisions of this Act.
* The schedule lists specific land parcels in Odisha, including the district (Balasore), tehsil (Basta), village, survey number, and areas (both notified and revised) in hectares and square meters.
* The notification provides a timeline of twenty-one days for individuals interested in the land to object to the acquisition.
* Objections must be submitted in writing to the Competent Authority Odisha, GAIL India Limited, at a specified address.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
The primary target audience and stakeholders are:
* Landowners and individuals with interests in the land parcels listed in the schedule within the districts of Balasore.
* Residents of the villages listed (Lachhamankhunta, Chakarada, Renupada, Gundrisahi).
* GAIL India Limited, as the company responsible for laying the pipeline.
* The Competent Authority Odisha, responsible for receiving and addressing objections.
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible Agency:** GAIL India Limited is responsible for laying the pipeline. The "Competent Authority Odisha" (presumably a body within GAIL or designated by the government) is responsible for managing objections.
* **Timeline:** A 21-day period is provided for landowners to submit objections following the publication of the notification in the Gazette of India and its availability to the public.
* **Procedure:** Landowners must submit written objections to the Competent Authority Odisha at the provided address.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
The expected outcome is the acquisition of the Right of User (RoU) in the specified land parcels, enabling GAIL India Limited to lay the Dhamra-Haldia Pipeline. This will contribute to the expansion of the natural gas transportation infrastructure in the region. Potential impacts include:
* Altered land use for the specific areas where the pipeline is laid.
* Potential compensation to landowners for the RoU acquired.
* Improved natural gas accessibility for industries and consumers in the region.
**9. Conclusion:**
The notification analyzed represents a crucial step in the development of the Dhamra-Haldia Pipeline project. By acquiring the Right of User in the specified land parcels, the government aims to facilitate the transportation of natural gas, contributing to infrastructure development and potentially benefiting industries and consumers in the region. This project could face delays if legitimate land-owner objections are made and are upheld.
