Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOC) is considering setting up its eighth refinery in a western-coast State by 2021-22. The country's largest refiner aims to double its crude refining installed capacity from 65.7 to 123 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) in the next 10 years, through expansion and new greenfield units. At present, IOC is mulling to set up only a refinery — probably in Gujarat or Maharashtra — with an investment of nearly Rs 30,000 crore. However, a petrochemical plant may be set up later, along the lines of the Paradip refinery. The cost is being worked out. However, a timeline was not given for the project. The capacity of the proposed refinery would also be 15 mtpa, as in Panipat and Paradip. The upcoming Paradip refinery, India's most complex and IOC's biggest single investment of Rs 50,000 crore so far, is expected to be commissioned in the next Five-Year Plan. Earlier, the 2008 global economic meltdown had delayed the project's completion as IOC found funding difficult.

The Rs 349-crore, 217-km-long product pipeline from Viramgam to Kandla in Gujarat is expected to be commissioned in a couple of months. It would provide cost-effective link with the sea-route ex-Kandla for coastal movement of surplus products of Koyali refinery and enhance flexibility in the system for ensuring sustained operation of the refinery. Currently, IOC is importing 55 mtpa of oil and procuring 10 mtpa of indigenous crude for refining. It is exporting 1.5 mtpa of naphtha as a prelude to India's ambition to emerge as an exporter of petroleum products. India's installed refining capacity is 193 mtpa, with private sector majors RIL and Essar accounting for 16 and 18 mtpas, respectively, the rest being with public sector refiners. Indian Oil has also identified 75 acres near Koyali for acquisition. The refiner is setting up an Rs 160-crore reverse osmosis plant at Koyli for effluent treatment to make the refinery safer and environment-friendly. The plant, with a capacity to recycle 1,600 metre cubes of water per hour, will be completed in two years.
