Essar Oil Vadinar plant nears completion

Essar Oil's Vadinar refinery in Gujarat will reach its full capacity of 10.5 million tonnes by this month-end.

The refinery is currently operating at 7.5 million tonnes capacity.

"We will reach full capacity soon," EOL's Vadinar Refinery Head E Turnbull said.

He said the company was in the process of linking the refinery's secondary units, which will enable it to produce petrol and diesel of Euro-III grade.

Petrol and diesel produced from the refinery are transported to Essar petrol stations in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan or exported.
