India’s Reliance Industries has declared a 30 percent increase in the installed capacity of its export-focussed oil refinery, a government report showed, increasing the size of the world’s largest refinery complex.
India’s Petroleum Planning & Analysis Cell (PPAC) in its October report showed 35.2 million tonnes a year as the installed capacity of Reliance’s refinery in the special economic zone (SEZ) at Jamnagar, in northwest India. That is up from 27 million tonnes, or 540,000 barrels per day (bpd), as of April 1 that PPAC reported in an August 2017 report. The new capacity is the equivalent of 704,000 bpd of crude processing. Reliance built its first refinery at Jamnagar with an installed capacity of 660,000 bpd in 1999.
