State run oil marketing companies (OMCs) i.e., Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL), Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Saudi Aramco, a leading global integrated energy and chemicals company in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to jointly develop and build the integrated refinery and petrochemicals complex at Ratnagiri in the state of Maharashtra through a Joint Venture (JV) named Ratnagiri Refinery & Petrochemicals (RRPCL).
The partnership would bring together the crude supply, resources, technologies, experiences, and expertise of these multiple oil companies with an established commercial presence around the world. Saudi Aramco may also bring in a strategic partner to co-invest in the project.
The proposed refinery will be capable of processing 1.2 million barrels of crude oil per day and produce a range of refined petroleum products, including Motor Spirit and Diesel, which will meet Euro VI fuel specifications and also provide feedstock for the integrated petrochemical complex, which will be capable of producing around 18 million tons per annum of petrochemical products.
HPCL is an Indian state-owned oil and natural gas company with its headquarters at Mumbai, Maharashtra. It has about 25% marketing share in India among PSUs and a strong marketing infrastructure.
