Bengal CM assures Indian Oil of facilitating land for expansion in Haldia

West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has assured the Indian Oil Corporation of facilitating land for its long-pending plans to develop a petrochemical complex alongside its refinery in Haldia. Noting that the expansion would require 175 acres of land, the chief minister on Monday said the Haldia Development Authority has already arranged 85 acres and the remaining could be facilitated through the Haldia Dock Complex of Syama Prasad Mookherjee Port. Adhikari said he has taken up the matter with the port authorities to ensure that the land is made available to Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) for its proposed expansion. An official said, "If this happens, then the IOC will send the project to the board for consideration." The state-owned oil major said it was considering an expansion at Haldia, which could include a chemical downstream project. The OC has for years sought the 175-acre parcel adjoining its Haldia refinery to expand its operations and develop downstream petrochemica

IOC boosted LPG output by 30% amid Iran war, refineries ran over capacity

State-owned Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) ramped up liquefied petroleum gas production by nearly 30 per cent and kept its refineries operating above 100 per cent utilisation as disruptions to maritime trade through the Strait of Hormuz threatened India's energy supplies, its chairman said on Monday. The company also diversified crude sourcing, realigned refinery operations and secured alternative supplies as the escalation of conflict in West Asia disrupted global energy markets, IOC chairman Arvinder Singh Sahney said in his address to the company's 67th annual general meeting. "For IndianOil, the priority during this unprecedented crisis has remained crystal clear - to maintain continuity of energy supplies despite constrained sourcing options and volatile international markets," he said. India imports more than 88 per cent of its crude oil requirement, while about 45 per cent of its crude imports and nearly 90 per cent of LPG imports are linked to the Strait of Hormuz, underscorin

No nationwide fuel shortage, outages 'localised and temporary': IOC

Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), the nation's largest oil firm, on Saturday said there was no overall shortage of petrol and diesel in the country and described fuel outages reported at some retail outlets as "highly localised" and temporary, caused by regional demand-supply mismatches and shifting sales patterns. The state-owned fuel retailer said higher demand at certain outlets was driven by a seasonal rise in diesel consumption during the harvesting season, migration of customers from private pumps where retail prices were relatively higher, and increased institutional purchases at public sector outlets as bulk fuel supplies were being priced in line with elevated international rates. The company said petrol sales during May 1-22 rose 14 per cent year-on-year, while diesel sales increased around 18 per cent, reflecting "sustained and exceptionally high" growth in demand that it continued to meet across the country. In a statement, IOC said it "wishes to reassure customers and the .

Workers protest at IOCL's Bengal bottling plant over wage-related dispute

A wage-related dispute between LPG transporters and their drivers at Indian Oil Corporation Ltd's bottling plant at Budge Budge in West Bengal's South 24 Parganas district escalated into a protest. The agitation, which occurred on Tuesday night, temporarily disrupted production and triggered sharp political reactions. Senior BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, who is also the leader of the opposition in the state assembly, in a post on X, alleged that the incident reflected the growing lawlessness and "syndicate culture" under the Trinamool Congress (TMC) regime.
