The core purpose is to facilitate the construction of this pipeline by granting IOCL the right to use specified land. Key findings include the declaration of the acquisition of land use rights and the vesting of these rights in IOCL, who will be solely responsible for compensation.
**2. Introduction:**

**4. Background and Rationale:**
* **New Policy:** The policy addresses the need for land access to facilitate the construction of the Jalandhar Goindwal Sahib LPG Pipeline Project.

* Declaration that the right of user in the land specified in the Schedule is acquired for laying the pipeline.
* Direction that the right of user vests in Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) upon publication of the declaration, free from all encumbrances, rather than vesting in the Central Government.
* Allocation of exclusive liability for any compensation in terms of Section 10 of the Petroleum and Minerals Pipelines Acquisition of Right of User in Land Act, 1962 (PMP Act, 1962) to IOCL.
* Prevention of legal proceedings against the Central Government regarding the pipeline.
* Provision of a detailed schedule specifying the land to be acquired, including the villages, survey numbers, and area details (hectare and square meters) for Tehsil: Phagwara, District: Kapurthala, State: Punjab.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
Based on the text, the directly affected target audience and stakeholders are:
* **Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL):** As the entity responsible for laying the pipeline and liable for compensation.
* **Landowners in Tehsil: Phagwara, District: Kapurthala, State: Punjab:** Whose land falls within the specified schedule and is subject to the acquired right of user.
* **Residents of Maira and Chaheru Villages:** The schedule explicitly lists specific land plots within these villages that are subject to right of user.
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible Agency/Bodies:**
* Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (issuing the notification).
* Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) (responsible for laying the pipeline and compensation).
* Competent Authority (submitted the report to the Central Government under Section 6 of the Act).
* **Timelines/Procedures:**
* The notification is dated June 10, 2025, and refers to a previous notification dated January 27, 2025.
* The right of user vests in IOCL upon publication of the declaration.
* Copies of the Gazette notification were made available to the public by March 11, 2025.
* The Competent Authority has submitted a report to the Central Government under subsection 1 of section 6 of the said Act.
* Compensation will be determined in accordance with Section 10 of the PMP Act, 1962.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
* **New Policy:** The likely intended outcomes are:
* Expedited construction of the Jalandhar Goindwal Sahib LPG Pipeline Project.
* Improved LPG transportation infrastructure.
* Facilitation of a reliable supply of LPG to the Goindwal Sahib region.
* Legal framework for acquiring necessary land rights.
* Clear allocation of responsibilities regarding pipeline construction and compensation.
**9. Conclusion:**
The notification analyzed details the acquisition of right of user in land for the Jalandhar Goindwal Sahib LPG Pipeline Project. It is a crucial step in enabling the construction of this pipeline, facilitating LPG transportation, and contributing to the energy infrastructure in the region. The policy clearly assigns responsibility to IOCL and addresses legal considerations related to land acquisition and compensation.
