At present 200-250 mmscfd gas from Ashuganj to Bakhrabad is transported through this pipeline for greater Dhaka and greater Chittagong areas. Contract has been signed on 29-4-2016 for installation of 3 Interface Metering Stations (Kutumbopur, Feni, and Barabkundu). About 90% of installation works have been completed of the said 3 Interface Metering Stations. It is expected that by December 2017, it will be possible to supply gas through these stations.
