Metro India News | Hyderabad

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy is scheduled to officially open an oil palm factory located in Narmeta village in Nangunuru mandal of Siddipet district on Sunday. In preparation for the Chief Minister's visit, Ministers Tummala Nageswara Rao, Ponnam Prabhakar and Vivek Venkatswamy have been overseeing the arrangements to guarantee its smooth execution.

They have convened review meetings with the district collector, the police commissioner, and other relevant officials. During his visit, the Chief Minister will inaugurate an oil palm factory and unveil a commemorative pylon.

Subsequently, Revanth Reddy will visit the stalls set up at the venue. He will also lay the foundation stone for Telangana's first oil refinery. Ministers have instructed officials to take precautionary measures to ensure that people attending the public meeting do not face any inconveniences. They issued specific directives to officials regarding the helipad, meeting venue, security, drinking water, traffic management, vehicle parking, electricity, sound systems, fire safety, ambulance services, and other related arrangements.

Speaking on the occasion, Minister Ponnam Prabhakar stated that he had taken personal initiative as an oil palm farmer to drive the factory’s construction with full dedication. He visited the site multiple times to monitor progress. He described Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao as the brand ambassador for oil palm in Telangana, likening his efforts to those of Kurien in Gujarat’s dairy revolution.

Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao, addressing the gathering, revealed that the project is located in Narmetta on 32 acres of land. He recalled that the first file he signed after assuming charge as Agriculture Minister was for this factory. Minister Tummala pointed out that while previously oil palm produce from anywhere in the state had to be transported to Ashwaraopet, now the Siddipet factory will process all oil palm from across Telangana.
