The TANAP consortium has defined a company that will build the 459-kilometer section of the pipeline from Turkey's Eskisehir till the border with Greece.

Punj Lloyd-Limak joint venture became the winner of the tender, and a corresponding contract was concluded with it.

The aim of the TANAP Project is to bring natural gas produced from Azerbaijan’s Shah Deniz-2 gas field, and other areas of the Caspian Sea, primarily to Turkey, but also on to Europe. The TANAP Project, along with the South Caucasus Pipeline (SCP) and the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) form the elements of the Southern Gas Corridor.
