Nepal Pipeline Project: Phase Two Rolls Out, Boosting Energy Ties

The second phase of the crucial petroleum pipeline project connecting Amlekhgunj in Bara, Nepal, to Lothar in Chitwan, officially commenced on August 2, 2025. This expansion is a significant step forward in strengthening energy cooperation between India and Nepal.

The project, undertaken with substantial Indian government assistance, aims to enhance Nepal’s fuel import infrastructure and reduce its reliance on road transportation. This will improve efficiency and reduce transportation costs.

This phase promises to significantly increase the volume of petroleum products transported, easing fuel shortages and bolstering Nepal’s economic development.

The timely completion of this project underscores the growing energy partnership between the two nations and reflects India’s commitment to supporting Nepal’s infrastructure development. Its success will have far-reaching implications for the stability and economic growth of Nepal, impacting millions of citizens.
