Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Bioethanol Plant at Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL) in Golaghat, Assam, on 14 September, marking a landmark step in India’s push for clean energy and reduced dependence on fossil fuels. The facility, designed to produce ethanol from biomass, is expected to benefit local farmers, generate jobs, and promote sustainable growth in the region.

In addition to the bioethanol unit, the Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone for a Polypropylene Plant at the refinery. Once completed, the new unit will significantly expand Assam’s petrochemical sector, create downstream industrial opportunities, and add value to the regional economy.

Speaking at the event, Modi stressed that the projects will help India enhance energy security while simultaneously boosting Assam’s industrial and agricultural development. He highlighted that the state has received investments worth nearly Rs 18,000 crore in recent years, including major connectivity and healthcare initiatives.

“These projects reflect our government’s commitment to holistic regional development and to making Assam a hub of growth and opportunity for the youth,” Modi said. The announcement drew applause from local stakeholders who see these investments as a turning point in Assam’s economic transformation.
