"The event marks an important milestone towards the creation of 'One Nation One Gas Grid'," PMO said.
The natural gas pipeline will carry natural gas from a terminal in Kochi in Kerala to Mangaluru in Karnataka and pass through Palakkad, Kannur, and Thrissur, among other places.
"The 450-km long pipeline has been built by GAIL (India) Ltd. It has a transportation capacity of 12 Million Metric Standard Cubic Metres per day, and will carry natural gas from the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Regasification Terminal at Kochi (Kerala) to Mangaluru (Dakshina Kannada district, Karnataka), while passing through Ernakulam, Thrissur, Palakkad, Malappuram, Kozhikode, Kannur and Kasaragod districts," it added.
The PMO said that the total cost of the project was about Rs 3,000 crore. The construction of the pipeline created over 12 lakh man-days of employment, it said.
"Laying of the pipeline was an engineering challenge as the route of the pipeline necessitated it to cross water bodies at more than 100 locations. This was done through a special technique called Horizontal Directional Drilling method," the PMO added in its statement.
