Focus Point of 3 MMTPA Refinery: Numaligarh Refinery Limite
The 3 MMTPA Refinery was dedicated to the nation by former Prime Minister of India Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee on 9th July, 1999. NRL has been able to display credible performance since commencement of commercial production in October 2000. With its concern, commitment and contribution to socio-economic development of the state of Assam and North East India, it is considered as one of the glowing manifestations of successful business enterprise in the region, with its footprints across the globe where its products, especially Paraffin Wax continue to be exported.
NRL has embarked on a major integrated Refinery Expansion Project to treble its capacity from 3 MMTPA to 9 MMTPA at an estimated investment of more than Rs. 28,000 Crore, one of the highest in the North East region. The project also includes setting up of a Crude Oil Import Terminal at Pardeep Port in Odisha and laying of about 1640 KM of pipelines for transportation of imported Crude Oil to Numaligarh. NRL is also implementing a 360 KTPA Polypropylene project at an estimated cost of Rs. 7,231 Crore.
Aligning itself with the Govt. of India’s target of achieving net zero by the year 2070, NRL has carved a roadmap to attain its net zero goals by the year 2038. Taking a step further in this direction and in line with National Green Hydrogen Mission, NRL has initiated action to set-up a Green Hydrogen plant of capacity 300 kg/hr (18 MW), within the Refinery premises.
