    The document aims to develop India's north-eastern region into a major hydrocarbon hub in the coming years.

    The plan seeks to develop north-east as a gateway for South Asian and South-East Asian hydrocarbon markets by augmenting the capacity of refineries and laying a pipeline grid.

  • Prime Minister Modi inaugurated the largest wax plant in India with a capacity of 50,000 tonnes in Assam.

    The Numaligarh refinery's wax plant, built with an investment of Rs.676crores is an example of 'Make in India', as it uses indigenous technologies.

    The plant would leverage the higher wax content found in Assamese oil and provide opportunities for ancillary industries, besides generating employment for locals.
