Prime Minister Narendra Modi  inaugurated India’s first bamboo-based ethanol plant and laid the foundation stone for a polypropylene plant in Assam’s Golaghat district.

Addressing a gathering, Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the inauguration of the bioethanol plant in Assam as a matter of great pride for the state. He said the two projects would boost industrial growth, accelerate development, and create new opportunities for farmers and youth. He highlighted that India is making rapid strides in green energy and renewable power generation.
