The TAPI gas pipeline in Afghanistan has completed 10 kilometers of construction.
Hamayon Afghan, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum of the Taliban administration, announced that the practical work on the TAPI gas pipeline project in Afghanistan has made 10 kilometers of progress.
On Saturday, March 15, Afghan shared a video clip revealing the acceleration of the TAPI project’s work as the weather warmed up.
According to Afghan, the TAPI project is one of the government’s priorities in the energy infrastructure sector, and there are hopes for its swift completion.
The TAPI pipeline is a major regional project that aims to transport Turkmenistan’s gas through Afghanistan to Pakistan and India.
This project was launched in 2015 in Merv, Turkmenistan, by the leaders of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Turkmenistan, and was inaugurated in Afghanistan in 2017.
It is worth noting that the implementation of this project was delayed due to insecurity in Afghanistan. The TAPI project is one of the largest regional projects, with a length of 1,821 kilometers and an annual gas transmission capacity of 33 billion cubic meters.
Meanwhile, significant progress has been made on the TAPI project, the challenges posed by security concerns in Afghanistan remain. The successful completion of the project could significantly impact the region’s energy landscape, fostering closer cooperation among neighboring countries. However, continued efforts will be required to ensure its timely and secure completion.
