IOC Gujarat refinery still below 18 mtpa capacity
In short
IOC’s Gujarat refinery is not yet running at its full 18 MTPA capacity.
Its refinery head said on Wednesday that processing is somewhere between the old 13.7 MTPA level and the expanded 18 MTPA level. The story does not say when the missing downstream units will come on line.
What the reporting says
IOC’s Gujarat refinery is still processing below its expanded 18 MTPA capacity, the company’s refinery head said on Wednesday. Biplob Biswas said output is somewhere between the old 13.7 MTPA capacity and the new 18 MTPA level, suggesting the plant has not yet reached the full expanded run rate. The report does not say when the downstream units will start or what is delaying the ramp-up.
Why it matters
IOC’s Gujarat refinery is still operating below its expanded 18 MTPA capacity, with the company saying output sits between 13.7 MTPA and 18 MTPA. The update points to unfinished downstream units, but the reporting does not specify the timetable or the reason for the delay. The immediate effect is limited throughput, which may matter for IOC’s refining volumes and margins, but the scale of that impact is not stated.
