of India. Renery was set up on Cracking unit(RFCC), Visbreaker unit (VBU), March 2010 to May 2010. The world-class Panipat Naphtha Cracker Butadiene is used for
July 12, 1998 with the Bitumen blowing unit (BBU), Sulphur block and was built at a cost of INR 14, 439 crore. The project is a cornerstone for production of Styrene Butadiene
rubber by neighboring M/s ISRPL.
IndianOil's entry into petrochemicals and forms a new business line for
commissioning of rst 6.0 MMTPA associated Auxiliary facilities. In order to improve

1998 and 3.3 MMTPA Vaccum Distillation Unit (DHDS) was subsequently commissioned on July 12, 1999. The Þ Further, to meet the potential demand renery capacity again augmented customers
on October 11, 1998. It has a capacity to process of desulphurisation through the DHDS enables the to 15.0 MMTPA in December, 2010
process a wide range of both indigenous and reduction of sulphur content in diesel, resulting in positive
imported grades of crude oil. It has grown up environmental protection results in the control of automotive
using world-class technology from Axens, emissions. When the commissioning was formalised, the
Haldor-Topsoe, UNOCAL/UOP, Stone & renery became the fastest commissioned DHDS plant in the

Butene-1 Unit was commissioned Sale of surplus Butene-1 was
in May 2014. Butene-1 is started
2006 2009 produced in the unit by

With a view to meet the growing decit of Motor Spirit commission of Butene-1 unit, import
petroleum products, especially in the Northern Quality was stopped
region of the country, the capacity of Panipat Upgradation
Renery was expanded to 12 MMTPA in June, 2006 project with
under Panipat Renery Expansion Project (PREP). In Naphtha
expansion project 6.0 MMTPA Crude Distillation Unit-II Hydrotreating unit
and a full conversion hydrocracker as the secondary (NHDT), Isomerization

the Petrochemical venture by setting up a Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB) (Prime G) was Naphtha Cracker Unit (NCU) PNC has achieved highest ever
plant at Gujurat Renery in 2004. Subsequently in the year 2006, a commissioned in Expansion project was approved Naphtha processing (3027 TMT)
facility for manufacturing Puried Terephthalic Acid (PTA) at Panipat Deember 2009 for by Board in August. The project and highest ever polymers
Renery was setup. A Para-xylene complex was setup to make the feed production of BS-IV includes NCU Ethylene capacity production (1357 TMT)
for the PTA plant. The plant is licensed by M/s UOP, USA. PX-PTA block quality compliant MS enhancement from 857 kTA to 970 kTA
comprised of Naphtha hydrotreating unit (NHT), continuous catalytic by integration of Panipat renery off
