Chairman NRL and CMD OIL, Ranjit Rath earlier this month in Guwahati said that 200 KTPA (kilo-tonnes per annum) is part of net zero initiative. “2040 is the target of net zero therefore there are two prolonged strategies one doing net zero and another adding a value addition preposition.”

He added, “As we are witnessing a 7 percent growth year on year, going forward we realized that substantial aviation fuel will be a good business model. A DPR is being prepared, as it will in coastal areas five year down the line there may be opportunity of export.
