The western region of the country is likely to witness maximum addition of crude oil refining capacity by 2030.The refining capacity in the western part of the country is likely to touch 242 million tonne per annum (mtpa) almost double the capacity of 121.4 mtpa.According to the report of 'Working Group on Enhancing Refining Capacity by 2040' of Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, the Gujarat refinery of Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) will touch 18 mtpa by 2030 from 13.7 mtpa presently.Growth in crude oil refining capacity would be fuelled by a staggering growth in the country's energy consumption. The energy usage is tipped to grow 129 per cent from 2015 to 2035, and India is likely to consume about 10 per cent of the world energy by 2035.Similarly, the HPCL's (recently acquired by ONGC) refinery in Mumbai is projected to see an expansion to 9.5 mtpa by 2030 from 7.5 mtpa presently.Reliance Industries and Essar will take their refining capacity to 98.2 mtpa and 45 mtpa ...
