Reliance Industries (RIL) and HPCL-Mittal Energy Ltd (HMEL) have sought environment ministry approval for raising capacity of their plants. RIL, whose two plants at Jamnagar has installed capacity to process about 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) oil, has the capability to turn the heaviest crude into value added products.
The company seeks to add a fifth crude train of 400,000 bpd, some polymer units and changing the fuel for 450 MW of an already approved 2,100 MW power plant from gas to coal.
In a separate proposal, HMEL seeks to raise capacity of its existing 180,000 bpd Bathinda refinery in northern India to 225,000 bpd.
