Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated a Rs 5000-crore bamboo-based ethanol plant at Numaligarh in Assam’s Golaghat district. He also laid the foundation stone for the Rs 7230-crore Petro Fluidised Catalytic Cracker Unit at the Numaligarh Refinery.
The “world’s first, second-generation” bioethanol plant is a ‘zero-waste’ facility, which will utilise all parts of the bamboo plant, and is expected to give a Rs 200-crore boost to the rural economy in the state, officials said. It will source 5 lakh tonnes of green bamboo from four northeastern states, benefitting over 50,000 people directly and indirectly, they said.
The polypropylene plant, the foundation for which was laid by PM Modi, is an important milestone in manufacturing plastic with a wide range of applications, the officials said. The plant has the potential to generate 75,000 man-days annually. Earlier in the day, the PM laid the foundation stones for health and infrastructure projects worth Rs 6300 crore at Mangaldoi in Darrang district.
