Mumbai Refinery

Mumbai Refinery was commissioned in 1954 by the erstwhile ESSO with a crude refining capacity of 1.25 MMTPA. The capacity was increased to 9.5 MMTPA, in phases. In 1974, the Government of India nationalized ESSO operations and formed Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited.

Mumbai Refinery sources its crude from both imported and indigenous sources. Imported crude is transported through marine tankers berthed at Jawahar Dweep jetty and pumped to Refinery Crude storage tanks. Indigenous crude mainly Mumbai High (MH) is pumped from ONGC offshore terminal into Refinery Crude storage tanks.

The products currently manufactured by Mumbai Refinery are LPG, Naphtha, Motor Spirit (MS), Food Grade Hexane, Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF), Superior Kerosene Oil (SKO), High Speed Diesel (HSD), Light Diesel Oil (LDO), Low Sulphur Heavy Stock (LSHS), Industrial Furnace Oil (IFO), Rubber Processing Oil, Lube Oil Base Stocks (LOBS), Bitumen, Sulphur, etc.

These products are evacuated to the marketing terminals, coastally moved through tankers and most of the product evacuation is carried out to various consumption points through Mumbai Pune Sholapur Pipeline (MPSPL).

Visakhapatnam Refinery

Visakh Refinery was the first East Coast Oil refinery of India, commissioned in 1957 by Caltex Oil Refining India Ltd. (CORIL) with a crude processing capacity of 0.675 MMTPA. The refinery has been expanded in phases to 13.7 MMTPA. Caltex Refinery, along with its marketing facilities were nationalized in 1976 and amalgamated with HPCL in 1978.

Visakh Refinery, till 1985, used to receive indigenous and imported crude through tankers cargo up to 30 TMT from the Oil Wharf Jetties located in Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT). Offshore Tanker Terminal (OSTT) was commissioned by VPT for crude unloading through Suez max tanker. The draft limitations at Jetty were restricting bigger size vessels. To overcome this limitation, Visakh Refinery constructed Single Point Mooring (SPM) for discharging of Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC).

The products currently manufactured in Refinery are LPG, Propylene, Naphtha, MS, ATF, SKO, HSD, LDO, LSHS, IFO, Bitumen, Sulphur, VLSFO etc.

These products are evacuated to the marketing terminals, coastally moved through tankers and also transferred through cross-country pipeline from Visakhapatnam to Secunderabad via Vijayawada (VVSPL).

Mumbai Lubes Refinery

The Lube Refinery was commissioned in 1969 as a joint venture between ESSO & Government of India with a capacity of 165 Thousand Metric Tonnes Per Annum (TMTPA) of Lubricating Oil Base Stocks. Subsequently, the joint venture, Lube India Ltd., was taken over by Government of India and merged with HPCL. With the demand for Lube Oil Base Stocks going up, further de-bottlenecking and expansion increased the capacity to 428 TMTPA. Today it is the largest lubricating oil refinery in India accounting for over 40% of the installed capacity in the country.

HPCL Rajasthan Refinery Limited (HRRL)

HPCL Rajasthan Refinery Ltd. (HRRL) was incorporated on 18th September, 2013, as a Joint Venture between Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) and Government of Rajasthan (GOR) with an equity participation of 74% and 26% respectively.

The project involves setting up of a Greenfield 9 MMTPA Refinery cum Petrochemical Complex at Pachpadra in Barmer district of Rajasthan, with an optimum configuration and flexibility to process a mix of local and imported crudes. The project is expected to be mechanically completed within 4 years from the last date of receipt of all statutory approvals.

The configuration of the Refinery shall be based on processing a mix of 1.5 MMTPA of Rajasthan Crude and 7.5 MMTPA of imported Arab Mix crude (Arab Heavy + Arab Light) for first 8 years. From 9th year onwards, 9 MMTPA of imported Arab Mix crude can be processed. However, Refinery will have the design flexibility to process up to maximum of 2.5 MMTPA of Rajasthan Crude at any time, if the same is made available.

Environmental Clearance (EC) for project was granted by Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MOEFFCC) on September 13, 2017.

The project was approved by Government of India on October 09, 2017 at cost of Rs 43,129 crores (Feb 2016 price basis). The work commencement ceremony for the project was held on January 16, 2018 in the presence of Hon’ble Prime Minister of India and site activities were commenced.

The products envisaged for sale from the HRRL complex are viz. BS-VI Gasoline & BS-VI Diesel, Sulfur, Polypropylene, Linear Low Density Polyethylene, High Density Polyethylene, Benzene, Toluene and 1,3 Butadiene.

HPCL marketing team will evacuate these products. The evacuation of the BS-VI Gasoline & Diesel product will be carried out via Barmer- Palanpur Pipeline. Liquid as well as solid Petrochemical products will be evacuated through road tankers.
