Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
1) Only pipelines could account for the far-inland locations of refineries such as Barauni, Mathura, and Panipat, as well as gas-based fertiliser plants. Barauni and Mathura pipeline network is from the upper Assam oil field to Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh) via Guwahati, Barauni, and Allahabad. This pipeline has branches from Guwahati to Siliguri, from Rajbandh to Maurigram and from Barauni to Haldia through Rajbandh, from Salaya in Gujarat to Jalandhar in Punjab, through Viramgam, Mathura, Delhi, and Sonipat. This pipeline has branches that connect Koyali (near Vadodara, Gujarat), Chakshu, and other locations.
2) The pipeline transport network is a recent addition to India's transportation landscape. These were once employed to deliver water to cities and businesses. These were utilised for moving crude oil, petroleum byproducts, and natural gas from oil and gas fields to refineries, manufacturing facilities for fertiliser, and massive thermal power plants. Solids that get turned into slurry can likewise get transferred through a pipeline.
