(b) MaharashtraΒ
(c) Gujarat
(d) Uttar Pradesh
Answer:
(b) Maharashtra β
Explanation:
The H.V.J. pipeline (Hazira-Vijaipur-Jagdishpur) is one of India’s most important natural gas pipelines, running through the states of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Haryana.
However, Maharashtra is not connected to this pipeline, as it primarily supplies gas to industries and power plants in North and Central India. Instead, Maharashtra has other gas pipelines like the Mumbai High pipeline for its energy needs. ππ₯
