As someone who has worked in energy sector development, this is a significant step for Rajasthan's economy. The key will be ensuring the training and skill development programs are in place so locals can actually fill these new positions.

Good news for Rajasthan! But I hope the environmental impact on the Thar desert region is properly managed. Development is important, but so is protecting our fragile ecosystem. The government must be transparent about the safeguards.

Bas ab kaam shuru ho jaye! So much time was lost in political blame games. Whether it was Congress or BJP earlier, the people of Marwar just need progress. Jai Rajasthan! 🚀

The article mentions 2026 for the inauguration? Is that a typo? It should be 2024, right? Anyway, hopeful this reduces migration from Rajasthan for work. Many friends from my village have to go to Gujarat or Maharashtra.

While the focus is on employment, which is crucial, I also hope this refinery leads to better fuel connectivity and pricing in the western region. Infrastructure projects like these have multiplier effects on the entire state's development.
