पाइपलाइन अखंडता विफलता के कारण पर्यावरणीय दंड और मुआवजा दावे
Definition
Pipeline integrity failures trigger regulatory penalties under PNGRB Act 2006 and Environmental Protection Act. GAIL's 2020 gas leak incident (faulty couplings) led to environmental violations, resident evacuations, and compensation claims totaling ₹50+ crore. Maharashtra Natural Gas Limited reported 100+ fire incidents linked to pipeline leaks in Pune over 4 years, many during construction due to inadequate pipeline location awareness.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: ₹50+ crore (single incident penalties); estimated ₹100-200 crore annually across Indian gas sector from incident-related compensation and environmental fines
- Frequency: Recurring: IOC reported 113 major incidents 2014-2019; MNGL documented 100+ incidents in single region (4 years)
- Root Cause: Substandard pipeline fittings (contributing to ~30% of failures), inadequate integrity assessments, manual inspection gaps, third-party excavation damage during construction
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Natural gas operators in India lose substantial capital to pipeline failure incidents. Between 2014-2019, IOC alone reported 113 major transport accidents. A single major incident (GAIL 2020) resulted in ₹50+ crore in penalties. Systematic integrity monitoring automation reduces incident probability.
