flag Hindustan Petroleum opens new refinery unit in Visakhapatnam, boosting fuel output and SAF production to cut imports and support India’s energy goals.

flag Hindustan Petroleum Corporation has commissioned a 3.55 million metric ton per year Residue Upgradation Facility at its Visakhapatnam refinery, boosting processing capacity to 15 million tonnes annually. flag The facility uses advanced hydrocracking technology to convert 93% of low-value refinery residue into high-demand fuels, reducing reliance on crude imports. flag Three massive 2,200-tonne reactors were built entirely in India, marking a major achievement in indigenous engineering. flag The refinery also launched a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) demonstration plant, with plans to produce 10,000 tonnes annually starting January 2027, supporting India’s goal to blend 1% SAF by 2027 and 5% by 2030. flag The project strengthens energy security for eastern and central Indian states and advances national self-reliance under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative.
