“India’s State-owned oil refining company BPCL oil has come forward to set up an oil refinery complex at Ramayapatnam port with about ₹50,000 to ₹60,000 crore,” the MP said, suggesting the district administration officials to prepare 2047 Vision Action Plan in order to attract more industries to the district and provide maximum job opportunities to the unemployed youth.
