India likely to become self-sufficient in petroleum by 2030: Oil Minister

15 Mar 2013 Evaluate

Petroleum Minister M Veerappa Moily has said that the government is working towards making the country self-sufficient for its petroleum needs by 2030. After signing an MoU with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) for setting up a state-of-art refinery in Rajasthan he said ‘the government is working with a program that by 2020, 50 per cent of import of petroleum should be stopped and 75 percent imports should be stopped by 2025, further the country should become self-sufficient in petroleum by 2030’.

The oil minister emphasized that India has the potential inside to reduce its dependence on oil import which could help the country to come out of poverty as we spend huge money on oil import.

HPCL and the Government of Rajasthan have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at Jaipur for setting up a refinery-cum-petrochemical complex in Barmer, Rajasthan. The project will be a joint venture between HPCL and Rajasthan State Refinery, apart from other equity partners. The refinery having a capacity of 9 MTPA will be set up with an estimated capital investment of Rs 37,320 crore by 2016-17.

Presently, over 80 percent of India's requirements of petroleum products are met through the import and has become a worrying aspect for the country as the major share of the country's foreign exchange earnings are spent on oil import. India spent a staggering $ 160 billion to import crude oil in FY12, which was more than half of the country's total earnings from exports during the same period.
