India-Bangladesh relationship

The India-Bangladesh Friendship Pipeline Project is a joint venture between India and Bangladesh to transport diesel fuel from India to Bangladesh.
The project involves the construction of a 130-km long pipeline from Siliguri in India to Parbatipur in Bangladesh.
The pipeline is expected to have a capacity of 1 million metric tonnes per year and will supply fuel to industries and power plants in Bangladesh.
The project is being implemented by a joint venture company called the India-Bangladesh Friendship Pipeline Ltd (IBFPL).
The project is expected to reduce Bangladesh’s dependence on imports from other countries and provide a reliable supply of diesel fuel at a competitive price.
For India, the project will provide an opportunity to export diesel fuel to Bangladesh and strengthen economic ties with its eastern neighbor.
The project will replace the existing practice of transporting diesel fuel by road, which is both inefficient and polluting.
The project is expected to have a positive impact on the environment.
The India-Bangladesh Friendship Pipeline Project is a significant initiative that has the potential to boost economic cooperation and improve the lives of people in both countries.
