Myanmar Trade Promotion Organization says the state-owned Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL) in Assam, India would open its filling stations in Sagaing Region in Myanmar in the coming financial year.

NRL had interest in opening filling stations in Myanmar but this plan was delayed by the coup in Myanmar. They said that it was likely they could open their fuel retail outlets in Myanmar in the coming financial year.

NRL has started its plan of exporting premium diesel to Myanmar via the border town of Moreh by the land route since 2017.

NRL has four refineries in Assam State and one of them was built in Numaligarh near Moreh and they plan to sell the fuel produced by this refinery to Sagaing Region in Myanmar.

NRL invested 28,000 crores of Rupees (approx. US$ 3.41 billion) and it has the production capacity of 3 million metric tons per annum with an expansion project to produce 9 million metric tons per annum.
