Indian refinery projects
India’s refinery sector is undergoing a significant transformation, with multiple expansion and greenfield projects aiming to meet rising fuel demand and future-proof energy infrastructure. Indian Petroplus closely tracks these developments, providing timely updates and insights on major refinery projects shaping the industry landscape.
One of the most prominent projects is Indian Oil Corporation’s (IOCL) expansion of its Panipat refinery from 15 MMTPA to 25 MMTPA, coupled with petrochemical integration. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) is also enhancing its Mumbai and Visakh refineries, with modernisation focused on energy efficiency and compliance with environmental norms. Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) is undertaking capacity upgrades at its Kochi and Bina refineries, aiming to optimise fuel production and integrate cleaner technologies.
In the greenfield segment, the upcoming Barmer refinery in Rajasthan, a joint venture between HPCL and the Rajasthan government, is a strategically important project targeting petrochemical production and enhanced fuel supply in northern India. Additionally, the proposed West Coast refinery project (Ratnagiri Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd), though facing delays, remains a major long-term vision for creating one of the world’s largest integrated refining and petrochemical complexes.
Refinery expansions are also focused on producing BS-VI fuels, increasing middle distillates, and integrating petrochemical output to boost margins. These investments align with India’s goals for energy security, emission control, and export capability.
