Assam is slated to soon become one of India’s major oil exporting hubs catering to the eastern neighbours of the country and Southeast Asia, Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Friday.
The Minister based his prediction on a slew of projects for augmenting oil exploration, refining and transportation capacity in various stages of completion in the region.
Eight of these projects under Hydrocarbon Vision 2030, worth more than Rs. 1,500 crore, were inaugurated in Guwahati.
