India's ₹80,000cr greenfield refinery since 2016
This isn't just any project: it's India's first new greenfield refinery since 2016, and it cost nearly ₹80,000 crore.
HRRL is a joint venture between HPCL (holding 74%) and the Rajasthan government (26%), with plans to process 9 million tons of crude oil every year—including a big chunk for petrochemicals.
While commercial operations were set for July 1, HPCL says all units are structurally safe and unaffected, while the financial and operational impact is being assessed.
