This venture builds on IndianOil’s existing 15 MMTPA Refinery-cum-Petrochemical Complex at Paradip
Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IndianOil) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Odisha to set up a world-class Petrochemical Complex at Paradip. The MoU was exchanged within the presence of Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Dharmendra Pradhan, Minister of Education, Mohan Charan Majhi, Chief Minister, Odisha, and other senior dignitaries.
With an funding of Rs. 61,077 crore, this marks IndianOil’s largest-ever funding at a single location and a transform step in India’s petrochemical and industrial development.
