The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) has authorised a revised project cost of Rs 28,026 crore for Numaligarh Refinery Ltd’s (NRL) current expansion project, which aims to increase the refinery’s refining capacity from 3 MMTPA to 9 MMTPA.
An official release from NRL said,”This will be the single-largest investment in North-East India.
The originally planned configuration of the upcoming 6 MMTPA has been reconfigured and improved to make it petrochemical-ready, focusing on up-gradation of refinery residue by using the new technology of Ebullated Bed Residue Hydro-Treater along with high severity Petro-FCC unit,” NRL said.
