The oil refinery sector transforms crude oil into usable fuels like petrol, diesel, and petrochemicals. Demand hinges on growing economies and transportation needs, while costs are driven by crude oil prices, infrastructure, and refining complexity.
India boasts the world’s 4th largest refining capacity 248.9 MMTPA, dominated by state-owned players like IOCL. However, private investment is rising, with Reliance’s Jamnagar refinery being the world’s biggest.
Challenges remain. High dependence on imported crude and volatile oil prices pressure margins. Modernisation and environmental compliance add further costs.
The government aims to amplify capacity to 450 MMTPA by 2030, focusing on clean fuels and petrochemicals. Demand is expected to increase. For example, as per the International Energy Agency (IEA), consumption of natural gas in India is expected to grow by an average annual growth of 9% until 2024. Bharat Petroleum predicts that India’s energy demand will approximately double, while natural gas demand will grow five-fold by 2050.
Overall, India’s refining sector is poised for expansion, driven by government initiatives and private participation. Navigating cost pressures and embracing clean technologies will be crucial for sustained success.
