Gujarat Achieves Recognition as India's 'petro capital'
Gujarat has earned the title of India's 'petro capital' thanks to significant facilities like the world's largest grassroots oil refinery in Jamnagar and the OPaL petrochemical complex in Bharuch district. Officials highlight the prominence of Reliance Industries Ltd's Jamnagar refinery, boasting a crude processing capacity of 1.4 million barrels per day. This complex hosts some of the globe's largest units, including the fluidised catalytic cracker, coker, alkylation, paraxylene, polypropylene, refinery off-gas cracker, and petcoke gasification plants.
Gujarat's Chief Minister, Bhupendra Patel, highlighted the significant influence of the state's petrochemical industry. He emphasized that industrial progress plays a crucial role in fulfilling Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision, noting that Gujarat's chemical and petrochemical sector's sustainable growth has outpaced that of all other states.
During the 2019 Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit (VGGS), an MoU worth Rs 3,000 crore was inked for a bio-refinery within the Dahej Petroleum, Chemicals and Petrochemicals Investment Region (PCPIR). Subsequently, in 2022, another MoU worth Rs 7,000 crore was signed for chemical manufacturing in Dahej, as reported by officials. The upcoming 10th edition of VGGS, themed 'Gateway to the Future,' is scheduled to take place in Gandhinagar from January 10 to 12 next year.
