Union Minister talked about the power of technology in making the life of common man easy. The Minister lauded the distribution efforts of the OMCs, especially the Delivery boys- the ‘Corona warriors’, who showed guts and sincerity to supply the LPG at the doorsteps of the people without any interruption, even in the time of pandemic. He said that when the whole world, irrespective of its resources or prosperity, suffered due to Corona, India fought back under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who mobilized the whole country, and presented a new model for the world.
Flagging off the dispatch of first load of XP100 from the country’s oldest operating refinery at Digboi, Assam, Union Minister said that this epitomizes the Prime Minister’s vision of Purvodya. The Minister said that XP100 is of world class quality which would enhance the efficiency of High speed cars. This advanced petrol produced from Digboi Refinery will cater to the needs of retail outlets in cities located in country’s North-East region. Digboi has joined the elite group of Mathura and Barauni Refineries by producing XP-100 Petrol using existing infrastructure and secondary processing facilities. This is indeed a commendable achievement, being the oldest Refinery, producing the most advanced petrol available in the country.
