BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT
About Project Proponent: M/s. Gujarat Gas Limited (formerly known as GSPC Distribution Networks Limited), is India's largest city gas distribution player with presence spread across 22 Districts in the State of Gujarat and Union Territory of Dadra Nagar Haveli and Thane GA which includes Palghar district of Maharashtra.
About this Project: M/s. Gujarat Gas Limited proposed to establishment of Natural Gas distribution pipeline network along the existing road RoW under PWD department including associated facilities originating from Ambadi Naka at Bhiwadi Taluka, Thane District of Maharashtra State and terminates at Village Virar at Ch. 36/046.87 Km in the Taluka Vasai, District Palghar of Maharashtra State including connectivity of Nala Sopara, Vasai, Kharpada, Sativali covering total length approx. 58.345km. The salient features of the proposed pipeline project are given below:
Name of Project “Establishment of Natural Gas Distribution pipeline network with associated facilities from Ambadi Naka at Bhiwadi Taluka, Thane District to Village Virar, Taluka Vasai, District Palghar of Maharashtra State (i.e. Called Virar Spur line) including Spur lines at Nala Sopara, Vasai, Kharpada, Sativali covering total length approx.58.345km with Diameters 6”/8”/12”” Petroleum and Natural Gas Natural gas being an ecofriendly & efficient fuel compare to other Regulatory Board( PNGRB) alternative fuels (i.e. Petrol, Diesel & Wood etc.) for industrial & domestic Authorization consumption, PNGRB has contemplated to build a network of Natural Gas distribution network in whole country including major cities and states. As a part of this, GGL was entrusted the job of establishment of Natural Gas distribution network in Thane Geographical area and hence, GGL has received PNGRB authorization for laying, building, operating or expanding local City or local Natural Gas Distribution network dated: 01.04.2015 attached as Annexure III in online additional Attachments.

So, no major impact on wild life sanctuary is expected on continuous basis. So, the project will have impact is very marginal, temporary in nature and reversible.
