# Barmer Refinery & Petrochem Hub Nears Completion, Crude Processing to Begin Soon
New Delhi: Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd's (HPCL) ambitious 9 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) capacity refinery in Barmer, Rajasthan, is nearing completion. The facility is set to commence crude oil processing in the first month of 2025, marking a significant milestone in India's refining sector.

With pre-commissioning activities underway in multiple units, the project is steadily progressing towards its operational phase. While the mechanical completion of the entire petrochemical complex stands at 82%, the plan to double capacity within the initial 12 months remains on track.

"Work on the refining units has been finalized, and production testing is scheduled to begin in January. Commissioning activities will commence from March onwards," a highly placed source revealed.

The Barmer refinery is strategically positioned to cater to the rising fuel demand in North India. It is expected to operate at 75-80% capacity in the first year as various units undergo commissioning. The full capacity is projected to be reached by 2027.

This development aligns with India's target of increasing its refining capacity to 450 million tonnes per annum, aimed at meeting the growing energy needs of the world's fastest-growing major economy.
