Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to visit Visakhapatnam either this month-end or in the first week of March to launch a few key projects of the Union government.
Modernisation and expansion of HPCL’s Visakh refinery at cost of ₹26,264 crore is among the major projects to be launched by the Prime Minister.
The project is significant as it aimed at expanding the refinery capacity to 15 MMTPA (million metric tonnes per annum) from the existing 8.3 MMTPA.
