Haldia Refinery
The Haldia Refinery for processing 2.5 million tonnes per year of Middle East crude was commissioned in January, 1975 with two sectors - one for producing fuel products and the other for Lube base stocks.
The refinery is in Haldia near Kolkata. The fuel sector was built with French collaboration and the Lube sector with Romanian collaboration. The refining capacity of the Refinery was increased to 2.75 million tonnes per year in 1989 through debottlenecking measures.
The refining capacity was further expanded to 3.75 million tonnes per year with the commissioning of new crude distillation unit of 1.0 million tonnes per year in March, 1997. The present refining capacity of this Refinery is 7.50 million tonnes per year.
The executive director of refinery is Mr. Brij Behari
