Mangaluru, Nov 8: A sharp decline in the number of bullet tankers on the Mangaluru-Bengaluru National Highway (NH 75) is expected as the Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd., (HPCL) has commissioned the Mangaluru-Hassan-Yediyur/Mysuru LPG pipeline.

About 175 bullet tankers move from HPCL's LPG Import Facility at Mangaluru towards Bengaluru/ Mysuru and another about 80 towards Karwar/ Kerala every day.

Originally envisaged to be till Solur near Bengaluru, the pipeline now terminates at Yediyur. Line has been laid for the entire 355.22 km length, including Hassan-Mysuru and it has passed the mandatory inspection by the Oil Industry Safety Directorate.

According to sources, the LPG pipeline was commissioned on October 23 and pumping of LPG commenced on that day itself. As a result, the number of LPG tankers should drastically reduce, the sources said.

The Dakshina Kannada district administration thanked farmers and others who provided land for the pipeline and urged the general public to cooperate for the smooth working of the pipeline.

The pipeline was constructed by Hindustan HPCL at a cost of about Rs. 838 crore to make the highways safe and also to reduce environment pollution.

HPCL has commenced patrolling, with the help of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition-enabled remote control system, besides manual checking.

Besides manual patrolling, the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)-enabled remote control system would monitor the pipeline round-the-clock. The chances of LPG pilferage are highly remote as its storage is not easy. The line lies 1.5 m below the earth surface and goes up to 6 m depth at river-beds and roads.
