Source excerpt
Until this week, the name Perdaman was probably not front of mind for most Australians.
That changed on Tuesday when Prime Minister Anthony Albanese revealed the privately-owned multinational would lead plans for the country's first new oil refinery in more than 60 years.
The $4 million pre-feasibility study is set to examine what it would take to build such a facility along the West Australian coast.
Indian-owned but headquartered in Perth, Perdaman has interests in fertiliser, pharmaceuticals, property, chemicals, labour hire and renewable energy.
