PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS REFINERIES DIVISION Oo dee Golden Year of CommissioningGiolilen Cour of Commissioning The Refineries Division is the core of IndianOil’s downstream business. Undeterred by the challenges facing the oil sector globally, be it the storms of economic upheaval, perils of fluctuating crude prices, energy security issues and stringent environment regulations, the Refineries Division continues its march towards greater heights of success. The year 2009-10 has been truly the Golden Year of Commissioning, For the first time in the history of IndianOil, projects worth over Rs. 60,000 Crore are concurrently being implemented. These projects are Naphtha Cracker at Panipat, Grassroots Refinery project at Paradip, capacity expansion projects at Panipat and Haldia and quality improvement projects of various size and configuration at all Refineries. Further strengthening IndianOil's successful foray into petrochemicals, the largest single train Naphtha Cracker Unit of the country at Panipat Refinery went on-stream in March 2010. IndianOil’s first and India’s largest Naphtha Cracker Complex builtata cost of Rs. 14,434 Crore will elevate IndianOil’sstature as a ‘major petrochemicals player in the days ahead. The rising energy demand offers opportunities to invest in the refining sector with high returns. Haldia Refinery completed its capacity enhancement and distillate yield improvement tasks in January 2010 including the commissioning of Once-hrough Hydrocracker Unit (OHCU), taking its crude processing capacity from 6 to 7.5 MMTPA and Capacity expansion at Panipat Refinery to 15 MMTPA is also heading towards its successful completion.In the backdrop of the growing energy requirements PRE seer en neste een tT operations in a competitive energy market, OES Stan ere t= eee ner eee a Ce SoU a eRe ce eC CURE Ree ee Care eRe MO largest investment of India’s leading ‘Fortune 500° Con Ce RT mmm TT SO ae Smeg aCe) Peo ese OE ATT ee ge ska eae en rma ce int Mey tea coe) En ee Onn een ae GRU Na Ryn Pe and play a key role in meeting the growing energy Peete eR etna Ms evan CPS Teg ne ee ee) Haldia Refinery have been completed to switch over Cee eRe ea mets) co Spirit and High Speed Diesel.

To accommodate the cost increase due to CPP, the strategy to award few facilities in BOO/BOOT was vigorously pursued in 2009-10. Mobilization of resources of BOO / BOOT/ CPC contractors in Paradip Refinery Project. By this strategy, resources available with BOO/BOOT/CPC Contractors will now be available to PDRP, else resource mobilization would have been difficult as these contractors were rarely participating in Conventional Contracts. Further, due to high magnitude of project, it was thought to be prudent to ensure the participation of different types of contractors available in the country inthis project.
