GlobalData’s report, ‘Global Refinery Vacuum Distillation Units (VDU) Outlook to 2025 – Capacity and Capital Expenditure Outlook with Details of All Operating and Planned Vacuum Distillation Units’, reveals that India is likely to witness a total VDU capacity additions of 216 000 bpd by 2025. Out of this, the expansion project at the Mumbai I refinery contributes 120 000 bpd while the remaining 96 000 bpd would come from the new-build Barmer refinery.

Teja Pappoppula, Oil and Gas Analyst at GlobalData, commented: “The Mumbai I refinery is the only upcoming VDU expansion project in India with 120 000 bpd of capacity expected to be added in 2021. This cracking type VDU refinery is in the Maharashtra state with Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd being the operator.

“The planned Barmer refinery in the country is the other contributor with 96 000 bpd of new build VDU capacity expected to become operational in 2022. This coking type VDU refinery is to be operated by HPCL Rajasthan Refinery Ltd.”
