State-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) on Thursday said they were planning to set up hydrocarbon-based urea fertiliser plant in Tripura after completion of Rs 3,950 crore power project at Palatana in South Tripura district.
The company's Chairman-cum-Managing Director, Mr Sudhir Vasudeva, said, “A survey for setting up an urea plant is going on. Based on gas availability in Thobal plant in North Tripura district and if feasibility is found positive, the plant would be set up“.
Mr Vasudeva, who is visiting the State, met the Chief Minister, Mr Manik Sarkar, and state Power Minister, Mr Manik Dey. He said two months ago Mr Sarkar requested ONGC to set up urea plant on the basis of which the survey was started.
The gas-based thermal project at Palatana would start generation by May next year, he said, adding that in the first phase 363.3 MW would be generated by May 2012 and three months later another 363.3 MW would be generated.
Mr Vasudeva, who led the ONGC team in a spot visit programme, inspected several units of the gas-based project and reviewed the ongoing work status.
