Mamata Banerjee, Chief Minister of West Bengal on 9 October 2012 inaugurated JVL Oil Refinery’s fourth edible oil refinery plant at Haldia in East Midnapore district of the state.
With a capacity of 1,200 tpd, the Haldia unit entailed an investment of nearly Rs 165 crore. In addition, the company has sought the state government’s permission to set up another soyabean oil refinery unit next to this facility.
This apart, the company intends to set up its fifth edible oil refinery unit at Dahej in Gujarat, over 20 acre. The company is likely to invest Rs 150 crore.
