About Jamnagar Refinery
Reliance Industries’ refinery at Jamnagar crossed its 25-year milestone on Sunday, December 28. The company launched its first refinery at Jamnagar, Gujarat, on December 28, 1999.
The Jamnagar refinery now produces 1.4 million barrels per day, processing 247 different grades of crude or feedstock from different places across the world, said Reliance.
The company invested $3.5 billion in capital costs to build the initial facility on a 5,000-acre barren land in 1999. The refinery contributed to reducing India’s refined petroleum goods imports and also helped the nation increase its exports of refined petroleum commodities to foreign countries.
According to the company’s emission targets the Jamnagar refinery is yet to reach its Net Zero emission standards, by targeted year 2035.
