TAPI Gas Pipeline Construction in Afghanistan

under construction

Construction work on the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline is actively underway in Afghanistan. The 214-kilometer Turkmen section is fully completed, and the 153-kilometer Serhetabat-Herat section in Afghanistan is progressing rapidly. The project involves hundreds of Turkmen engineers and workers, with a robust material and technical base enabling construction in remote mountainous areas. Over 100 kilometers of the Afghan section have been handed over to contractors, with significant progress in welding, trenching, pipe laying, and leveling. The pipeline is designed to supply natural gas to South Asia, with a capacity of 33 billion cubic meters per year, and Afghanistan is expected to earn over 1 billion USD annually from gas transit.
