Modi will then fly to West Bengal to unlock key infrastructure projects at Haldia.
The Prime Minister will dedicate to the nation an LPG import terminal built, by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited. It has a capacity of 1 million metric tonnes per annum and will cater to growing LPG requirement in West Bengal and other states in east and north-east India.
