It is a gas pipeline project that aims to provide cooking gas to people. It was launched in 2016 in Varanasi and later extended to people in the states of Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha and Jharkhand.
The government is taking the initiative to connect the eastern states with the national gas grid.

The project will not just supply CNG to automobiles and cooking gas to household kitchens in cities along the route, but also to industries to meet their feedstock or fuel requirement.
The seven main station cities include Varanasi, Patna, Bokaro, Jamshedpur, Kolkata, Ranchi, Bhubaneswar and Cuttack as the major beneficiaries of the project. The main trunk of the pipeline ends at Haldia (West Bengal) and Dhamra (Odisha).
The project is being implemented by GAIL. GAIL is executing the Jagdishpur-Haldia-Bokaro-Dhamra Pipeline (JHBDPL) of a length of 2,655 km and the Barauni-Guwahati Pipeline of the length of 729 km under Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga Project to connect Eastern India.
