India’s Assam state to start exporting methanol to Bangladesh, Buthan and Nepal
In India, The Meghalayan Bureau reported that Assam state will start exporting methanol to Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal last this month as the country’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the methanol plant of the state-run Assam Petrochemicals Ltd (APL) at Namrup in Upper Assam’s Dibrugarh district on April 14.
“The quantity of methanol to be exported can be ascertained only after signing the agreement. However, we are getting adequate requisition from Bangladesh for methanol,” said Rajnish Gogoi, managing director at APL.
“The 500 TPD methanol plant at Namrup has been successfully installed and the trial runs have been conducted for raw methanol production with the lean natural gas supplied by Oil India Limited from the gas fields in Assam and transported by Assam Gas Company Ltd (AGCL),” said Bikul Chandra Deka, chairman, at APL.
