India's largest wax plant inaugurated in Assam
India's largest wax producing plant was inaugurated by PM Narendra Modi on Friday in Assam. A part of the public sector Numaligarh Refinery Ltd, the ₹676 crore wax plant is capable of producing 50,000-metric tonne wax. The plant aims to cut down paraffin wax import, and meet the entire demand for microcrystalline wax, which is currently being 100% imported.
