EWPL traverses through the [[India|Indian]] states of Andhra Pradesh, [[Telangana]], [[Karnataka]], [[Maharashtra]] and Gujarat.

The East West Gas Pipeline supplies [[Natural gas]] to [[Reliance Industries Limited|RIL]]'s vast petrochemical complex at Gujarat and delivers gas to numerous customers via branch line connections along its length. The pipeline system features multiple compressor stations, numerous metering facilities at branch take-offs and an advanced control and communications network. The project is the first and largest privately owned cross-country pipeline in India and the backbone of India's burgeoning natural gas grid.

==Gas source==
The current gas source for EWPL is KG-D6 gas block located in [[Krishna Godavari Basin]], 30 to 50 km offshore of the east coast of India. [[Reliance Industries Limited|RIL]] has set up an Onshore Terminal at [[Gadimoga]] near [[Kakinada]].

==System configuration==
EWPL is a {{convert|48|inch|cm}} uniform diameter (API 5L Grade X-70) pipeline across the entire trunk length of around 1375 km with wall thicknesses 17.2, 20.7 and 25.4 mm depending on the code requirement. The pipeline is 3LPE (three layer polyethylene) coated; internally epoxy lined, helically spiral [[submerged arc welding|submerged arc welded]] (for 17.2 mm) and longitudinal submerged arc welded (for 20.7 mm and 25.4 mm). [[Cathodic protection#Impressed current systems|Impressed current cathodic protection]] system has been provided to supplement the coating system for protection against external [[corrosion]]. Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP) of the pipeline is 98.0 bar(g).<ref>[http://pipelinesinternational.com/news/crossing_indias_narmada_river_using_hdd/055362/ Crossing India’s Narmada River using HDD — Pipelines International — The international pipeline magazine]</ref>

==Gas price==
In 2020, Indian government fixed the natural gas price at producer end (on shore point) as US{{convert|4.06|$/MMBtu|$/MWh|2|lk=on}} on [[Heat of combustion|net calorific value]] (NCV) basis from KG-D6 field.<ref>{{cite web|title= Reliance, BP to get govt capped price of USD 4.06 for new gas from KG-D6|url=https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/oil-and-gas/reliance-bp-to-get-govt-capped-price-of-usd-4-06-for-new-gas-from-kg-d6/79825230|access-date=20 December 2020}}</ref> However the enhanced price would be applicable only after compensating the shortfall gas in the previous years. The earlier price of $4.2 per million BTU on gross calorific value (GCV) basis is calculated already at maximum price cap of Brent crude of $60 per barrel (159 liters) under the applicable formula linking the price of gas per million BTU (GP) to the price of oil:

GP = 2.5 + (OP – 25) ^0.15

where OP is the annual average Brent crude price for the previous FY, with a cap of $60 per barrel
and a floor of $25 per barrel.<ref>{{cite web |page=27 |publisher=[[International Energy Agency]] |author=Anne-Sophie Corbeau |title=Natural Gas in India|url=http://www.iea.org/publications/freepublications/publication/natural_gas_india_2010.pdf|access-date=25 October 2014}}</ref> As the annual Brent price has always been above $60 from 2007 to 2014, the revised gas price at $5.61 during the year 2014 is in excess of the applicable maximum price by nearly 20%.

== Controversies ==

=== Money laundering ===
EWPL is under investigation by the Indian regulators over potential laundering of $1.2 bn by the company.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-04-11|title=PNGRB scanning EWPL records after reports of laundering of $1.2 billion|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/pngrb-scanning-ewpl-records-after-reports-of-laundering-of-1-2-billion/1544568/|access-date=2021-03-10|website=The Financial Express|language=en-US}}</ref>
