IOC to dispatch fuel to Tripura via Bangladesh

11 Aug 2022 CW Team

Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) will reportedly conduct a trial run for transporting fuel to Tripura through Bangladesh, as per reports. IOC will reportedly transport three LPG tankers and seven tankers of petrol and diesel via Bangladesh from Guwahati, during the trial run. Each LPG tanker can transport 17 million tonne of gas and each oil tanker can carry 12,000 litre. The tankers from Guwahati, Assam will go to Dwaki, Meghalaya, from where they will enter Bangladesh. They will re-enter India at Kailashahar in the Unakoti district of Tripura to reach IOC鈥檚 Dharmangar depot in North Tripura.

As per previous reports, IOC had been planning to transport fuel to Tripura via Bangladesh after floods and landslides devastated the communication links in the Northeastern region. After the only rail link connecting Assam, Mizoram, Manipur and Tripura, with the rest of the country, was washed away, IOC started moving all its supplies by road via Meghalaya, at more than double the cost.
