Vardarajan said improvement in financial performance could be achieved through higher crude processing, better refining margin and optimisation of process parameters.
"Our excellence in refinery operations has been exemplified through achievement of highest distillate yield among all PSU oil refineries in the country for the third consecutive year," Vardarajan said.
On the physical front, NRL went on to record 92.16 per cent distillate yield during 2013-14, the highest among PSU refineries in the country.
