IGGL and HPOIL Gas Sign Gas Transmission Agreement to Support City Gas Distribution Network in Nagaland
Indradhanush Gas Grid Limited (IGGL) and HPOIL Gas Private Limited (HPOIL) have signed a Gas Transmission Agreement. HPOIL is the authorised City Gas Distribution (CGD) entity for Nagaland. The agreement was signed on October 30, 2026, on the sidelines of the North East Energy Summit organised by the Department of Geology and Mining, Government of Nagaland. The source does not state the investment, pipeline length or capacity.
The agreement is expected to support the movement of natural gas through the transmission network. It will help the expansion of downstream distribution infrastructure in the state. HPOIL is responsible for developing the infrastructure to distribute natural gas to consumers in Nagaland.
IGGL is a joint venture of Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, GAIL (India) Limited and Oil India Limited. It is developing natural gas pipeline infrastructure in the Northeast. This includes the North East Gas Grid, which connects the region to India’s national gas transmission network.
The network is expected to enable piped natural gas (PNG) for domestic and commercial use and compressed natural gas (CNG) for transport. This depends on the development of the required distribution facilities. Its build-out may create work for contractors, equipment suppliers and pipeline maintenance and technical service providers.
