The Deputy Chief Minister of a state in India opened a new palm oil factory built by Godrej.
This factory cost Rs 300 crore and is in Khammam district.
The government is giving money to farmers to grow palm trees because it can make them more money, even in bad weather.
India needs a lot of palm oil but doesn't make enough, so this new factory will help.
The factory is big and has many parts to make and study palm oil.
The government hopes this will bring more jobs and help the area grow.
Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka inaugurated the Godrej Integrated Palm Oil Industrial facility in Khammam district.
The facility, costing Rs 300 crore, aims to boost farm incomes and reduce reliance on palm oil imports.
The government offers subsidies ranging from Rs 4,000 to Rs 45,000 per acre to encourage oil palm cultivation.
The facility includes research and development, seed genetics, nurseries, and milling units.
