| Project Title : | HPCL’s Rajasthan refinery complex nears completion, to use crude grades |
| Company Name : | Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited |
| Project Detail : | HPCL Rajasthan Refinery (HRRL), an integrated refinery and petrochemical complex is currently under construction in Pachpadra, Balotra district of Rajasthan. Certain units in the project with a capacity of nine MTPA, have already entered the pre-commissioning stage. Jointly built by Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) and the Rajasthan government, it is poised to commence operations. The Arabian and Basrah grades are next in the top three crude types that the refinery will use. The refinery’s configuration includes large vacuum distillation, delayed coker and petro-fluid catalytic cracking units, which would also allow it to process various heavier crudes. In addition, pandemic-led lockdowns resulted in delays in awarding orders and construction activities, pushing the completion deadline back by a few years. The refinery is expected to mainly produce Euro 6-grade high-speed diesel, gasoline and value-added petrochemical products, such as polypropylene, butadiene, linear low-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, benzene and toluene. The Paradip Refinery, operated by the Indian Oil Corp., was the last standalone refinery commissioned in India in 2016. It has an installed annual capacity of 15 MT. |
