Industry Scenario
India has emerged as a refinery hub and plans to increase refining capacity to 400 MMTPA by 2025.
India's current refining capacity stands at 249 MMTPA, comprising of 23 refineries—18 under public sector, 3 under private sector and 2 in a joint venture. Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) is the largest domestic refiner with a capacity of 70 MMTPA. Top three companies – IOC, Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) and Reliance Industries (RIL) - contribute around 66.3% of India's total refining production from FY 2018 - 19.
33,764 Km Natural Gas Pipeline Network across the country has been authorized with the aim to create a national gas grid. About 19,998 km of Natural Gas pipeline are operational and 15,369 km are under progress.
India has witnessed a steady increase in production as well as consumption of petroleum products over the years. The production of petroleum products stood at 262.94 MMT in year 2019-20.
Crude oil production during July 2021 was 2,548.78 TMT and Cumulative crude oil production during April-July 2021 was 9,961.65 TMT.
Natural gas production during July 2021 was 2,891.96 MMSCM and Cumulative natural gas production during April-July 2021 was 11,060.07 MMSCM
74 lakh new LPG connections were issued by OMCs in FY20-21.
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) supply is forging ahead on both coasts with 5 new LNG Terminals and 1 expansion project under construction - 3 on the west coast and 2 on the east coast. Together with the projects under construction, overall capacity will reach 62.5 MMTPA.
