About IBFL
  • The 130-km India-Bangladesh Friendship Pipeline (IBFPL) project aims to import oil products from the Siliguri Marketing Terminal in West Bengal.
  • As currently, fuel oil imported by Bangladesh is first unloaded from ships at the country’s main seaport in Chattogram district and then transported to other parts of the country by tankers, which is time-consuming and costlier.
  • India-Bangladesh Friendship Pipeline (IBFPL) project will enable fuel oil products to be exported from India’s Siliguri Marketing Terminal in West Bengal State to Bangladesh.
  • The IBFPP will export fuel from Assam-based Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL) via the Siliguri Marketing Terminal to Bangladesh.
  • The capacity of the 130km oil pipeline will be one million metric tonnes per annum.
  • According to the Dhaka-Delhi agreement, fuel oil would be transported for 15 years through the pipeline in the first phase and the term would be extended on the consensus of the countries.
