Question
Write a note on Pipeline network transport in India.
Solution
Pipelines are used for transporting crude oil, petroleum products, and natural products, and natural gas from oil fields to the refineries, factories, and big thermal power plants. Pipelines are a more reliable and considerably safer mode of transportation. The possibility of pilferage or product less on pipelines is almost negligible. The basic limitation of pipelines is that they are capital-intensive modes of transportation.
