Bargarh MP Invites Amit Shah For Ethanol Plant Inauguration

Bargarh MP Pradeep Purohit has invited Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah to inaugurate BPCL’s newly constructed 2G Bio-Ethanol plant in the district. He also urged Shah to intervene in the revival of the long-closed Bargarh Cooperative Sugar Mill.

During a meeting at Kartavya Bhawan-3 in New Delhi, Purohit submitted separate letters regarding both demands. Shah reportedly assured him that steps would be taken towards reopening the sugar mill.

The ₹1,775-crore BPCL project, developed under the Pradhan Mantri JI-VAN Yojana, is Eastern India’s first integrated 1G and 2G bio-ethanol facility. With a daily production capacity of 200 kilolitres, it will utilise paddy straw and agricultural waste, creating employment and improving farmers’ incomes.

Purohit also invited Shah to visit the historic Gandhamardan Hills and Sri Sri Nrusinghanath Temple. He presented the Union Minister with a Sambalpuri fabric jacket as a symbol of Western Odisha’s cultural heritage. The two leaders also discussed Odisha’s political situation.
