Indian Oil Corporation completed its newest greenfield LPG bottling facility in Agartala at a cost of 169.11 crore.
The plant’s foundation stone was laid in 2017, and according to Indian Oil Corporation Executive Director (IndianOil-AOD) Ganesan Ramesh, the project was completed on schedule in February 2020.
The Agartala bottling factory began commercial production in November 2021, according to Ramesh. The cutting-edge facility, which is situated on a vast forty-acre plot of ground, was constructed in response to Tripura’s expanding energy needs.
The factory has a rated capacity of 60,000 thousand metric tonnes per year and can bottle 17,000 cylinders per day, including residential and commercial ones (TMTPA). There may also be kept 1,350 MT of leak-proof mounded LPG bullets.
All eight of the Northeastern state’s districts – West Tripura, South Tripura, North Tripura, Dhalai, Unakoti, Sepahijala, Gomati, and Khowai — would be served by the new facility.
