Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate several oil and gas sector projects in Tamil Nadu tomorrow (17 February) via video conferencing. He will also lay the foundation stone of the upcoming Cauvery Basin Refinery at State's Nagapattinam, reports Hindustan Times.
Among key projects which will be inaugurated by PM Modi are Ramanathapuram–Thoothukudi natural gas pipeline and gasoline desulphurisation unit at Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited.
The Ramanathapuram-Thoothukudi section (143 km) of the Ennore-Thiruvallur- Bengaluru- Puducherry- Nagapattinam- Madurai-Tuticorin Natural Gas Pipeline has been laid at the cost of about Rs 700 crore. It would deliver natural gas supplies to industries and commercial customers and help utilise gas from Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC)'s fields.
Meanwhile, Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited's gasoline desulphurisation unit has been constructed at a cost of about Rs 500 crore and will produce low-sulphur (less than 8 ppm) environment-friendly gasoline, help reduce emission and contribute towards a cleaner environment. It would produce motor spirit and diesel meeting BS-VI specifications, and polypropylene as a value-added product.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
