It is a most shocking News for all Indians that this paradeep refiney is awarded to FW (Outside India), when there is most competent Govt.Company -Engineers India Ltd is available to Complete this type of mega Project. Moreover Engineers India Ltd completed successfully Feed Engineering of Paradeep Refinery. Unnecessary Govt is draining Public Money to the waste box, whereas in case of EIL invested money shall be returned back to Govt.(to public). In View of this Govt should re-think to review this case.
