India is once again evaluating the proposed 2,000-km Oman-Gujarat Deep-Sea Gas Pipeline, a project aimed at reducing the country's dependence on energy shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Estimated to cost around Rs 40,000 crore, the pipeline would transport natural gas directly from Oman to Gujarat through one of the world's deepest subsea routes. The proposal, first discussed more than three decades ago, has regained attention amid geopolitical tensions in West Asia and concerns over energy security. State-run firms, including GAIL, Indian Oil Corporation and Engineers India Ltd, are preparing a detailed feasibility report. However, major engineering, financial and commercial challenges remain before the project can become a reality. (PC: India Today)
