A petroleum refinery will soon come up in Barmer district of Rajasthan. This news was announced by Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje in a public rally here.
Infrastructure work for the project has already commenced, and the work on the ground is to begin soon.
Rajasthan state has a 26 percent stake in the project, which according to Raje is being re-negotiated to increase the state’s share. This is because of the heavy cost of civic infrastructure which has been borne by the state Government.
However, the refinery is expected to not only create direct jobs, but in ancillary and support infrastructure too, including road transport, foodservice and hospitality, housing and construction, engineering, etc. in the district.
