The correct answer is: B. Raxaul
Nepal’s first transnational petroleum pipeline starts from Raxaul in Bihar, India. The pipeline is 69 km long and has a capacity of 2.5 million tonnes per annum. It was inaugurated in 2018 and is expected to meet about 60% of Nepal’s petroleum demand.
The pipeline is a joint venture between the Indian Oil Corporation and the Nepal Oil Corporation. It was built at a cost of Rs. 2,000 crore. The pipeline will help to reduce Nepal’s dependence on petroleum imports from India. It will also help to improve the supply of petroleum products in Nepal and reduce prices.
The pipeline has been welcomed by both the governments of India and Nepal. It is seen as a symbol of the close ties between the two countries. The pipeline is also expected to boost trade and investment between India and Nepal.
The other options are incorrect because they are not the places in Bihar from which Nepal’s first transnational petroleum pipeline starts.
