Projects in Kerala and Tamil Nadu
In Kerala, there's a major new Polypropylene Unit at BPCL Kochi Refinery (₹5,500 crore) and upgrades like the six-laning of NH-66 and the Kozhikode Bypass, making travel way faster and smoother. Rural roads and railway station makeovers are also on the list.
Over in Tamil Nadu, the focus is on expanding city gas access (aiming for nearly nine lakh homes), plus new CNG stations and highway improvements.
All in all: more jobs, better commutes, cleaner fuel options—stuff that could actually impact daily life.
