'''Kandla–Bhatinda Oil Pipeline''' (KBPL) was started in 1993 and it was commissioned in 1996.<ref>{{cite web|title=Indian Oil to augment Kandla-Bhatinda pipeline capacity|url=http://www.expressindia.com/fe/daily/19981205/33955234p.html|publisher=Financial Express India|accessdate=10 April 2012}}</ref> It is the largest oil pipeline in [[India]]. However, the first engineering firm to work on the project, [[Škoda Works|Škoda Export]], did not complete the job and fresh bids had to be taken in 1996.<ref>{{cite web|title=Fresh Bids Invited For Kandla-Bhatinda Oil Pipeline|url=http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/fresh-bids-invited-for-kandla-bhatinda-oil-pipeline/34569/|publisher=Business Standard|accessdate=10 April 2012|author=Pradeep Puri|date=10 March 1997}}</ref> The total length is 1443&nbsp;km with a capacity of 6.0 million [[tonne]]s per year. It was recommissioned later the same year.<ref>{{cite web|title=Indian Oil restarts Kandla-Bhatinda products pipeline|url=http://www.rediff.com/money/2001/feb/05ioc.htm|publisher=rediff.com|accessdate=10 April 2012|date=5 February 2001}}</ref> The pipeline transports oil brought into India to consumers of North India which is land locked. The pipeline is owned by [[Indian Oil Corporation]]. Initially, it was a product pipeline. Now it is a crude oil pipeline from [[Kandla]] to [[Panipat]] and subsequently it is a product pipeline up to [[Bhatinda]].<br />
<br />
Due to increasing demand for petroleum products in the North-West region of the country in the late 1990s, the pipeline capacity was scheduled to be increased to 8.8 MMT by May 2000.<br />
now, Kandla-Bhatinda pipeline is knowm as Mundra panipath pipeline<br />
The 1194&nbsp;km long Mundra Panipat Pipeline was commissioned to transport crude oil from Mundra on the Gujarat coast to IndianOil's refinery at Panipat in Haryana. The pipeline consists of a 74&nbsp;km long pipeline from Mundra to Kandla which was hooked up to the existing system of Kandla-Panipat section of Kandla-Bhatinda Pipeline at Churwa near Gandhidham. The pipeline utilizes Gujarat Adani Port's Single Point Mooring (SPM) offshore crude oil terminal facilities and associated offshore and onshore pipelines. The crude oil tank farm consists of 12 crude oil storage tanks with total capacity of 0.499 MMT at Mundra.<br />
