Mizoram is set to receive piped natural gas for the first time as the Tripura–Mizoram gas pipeline project progresses, with completion expected by 2027. 

Over 20 percent of the 119.5-km pipeline has already been laid, marking steady advancement in a project that promises to improve energy access in the state, particularly in Aizawl. A delegation from Indradhanush Gas Grid (IGGL), the project’s implementing agency, met with Chief Minister Lalduhoma to update him on the project’s status and discuss challenges, including terrain, logistics, and coordination. 

The pipeline will begin at the Panisagar Receiving Terminal in Tripura and pass through several towns before reaching near Mamit in Mizoram, ultimately terminating at the proposed Sihhmui Receiving Terminal, located about 21 km from Aizawl. Once operational, Tripura Natural Gas Corporation will provide domestic gas connections in Aizawl. The project is part of the broader North East Natural Gas Pipeline Grid, expanding clean energy infrastructure in the region.
