In a statement, Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) said its board has given "Stage-1 approval for setting up Paradip petrochemical complex at Paradip, Odisha at an estimated cost of Rs 61,077 crore.
"This mega project will be the largest-ever investment of Indian Oil at a single location," it said but did not give timelines for completion of the project.
