With an aggregate crude oil processing capacity, including old and new refineries, of 1.24 million barrels per day, RPL has become the sixth largest refinery in the world. The secondary processing units are now under synchronisation and commissioning. The entire refinery complex is expected to attain full capacity shortly.

Lauding the efforts of the RPL team, Reliance Industries Limited chairman Mukesh Ambani said the commissioning started in a record time, which “demonstrates the strength of our project management skills”. “The entire team has shown admirable commitment, dedication and teamwork to achieve this milestone. We, at Reliance, continue to be committed to the long term potential of the refining sector. We will leverage our competitive advantages of scale, complexity and capability to process a wide range of crude oils and flexibility to produce high quality transportation fuels and create significant value for all its stakeholders,” he added.

The commissioning of this refinery catapults Reliance into the league of the largest refineries globally, both in terms of complex refining capacity and earning potential. The state-of-the-art refinery has been completed in 36 months from concept to commissioning, which is a new benchmark for building a grassroots refinery of this scale.
