1. Introduction
Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), raising the capacity of its Gujarat refinery as well as setting up a
petrochemical plant at the unit as part of plans for upscaling Petchem business to protect margins. The
project envisages raising the capacity of the Vadodara refinery in Gujarat from 13.7 MMTPA to 18 MMTPA
and building a 500 KTPA polypropylene (PP) plant and a 235 KTPA Lube Oil Base Stock (LOBS) unit. The
project would be a building block for the production of niche chemicals in future with a potential to increase
petrochemical and specialty products integration index on incremental crude oil throughput which would
enhance the refinery margins. The Gujarat Refinery project is part of IOC's plans to boost petrochemical
capacity by more than 70 per cent over the next decade, from 3.2 million tonnes a year currently.

keying in between layers.
Prior to compaction, the moisture content of the material shall be brought to within ± 2% of the optimum
moisture content as obtained from the tests (as above) by addition or removal of water, accompanied by
thorough mixing to ensure a uniform moisture content. Each layer shall be compacted to at least 95% of the
maximum dry density as obtained from the Standard Proctor Test.
If the testing indicates that any part of the fill does not meet the requirements, that part shall be reworked by
the Contractor at his own cost till the specified density is achieved.
