Sector Context: 124 Petroleum Products Projects Tracked Nationwide
Projects India tracks 124 live petroleum products refinery projects across India. Two projects were added to this count in the last 90 days, reflecting continued activity in the sub-sector. Of the 124 tracked projects, 54 are currently under approvals, 33 are under construction, 21 are in the planning stage, four are nearly complete, two have received approvals and eight are completed.
The stage distribution indicates a substantial pipeline of projects that have yet to move into construction, while the 33 projects already under construction represent near-term procurement and contracting activity for the supply chain.
Where Refinery Projects Are Concentrated
Gujarat leads the geographic spread of tracked petroleum products refinery projects with 17, followed by Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra with 15 each, Assam with 12, Tamil Nadu with 10 and Odisha with nine. This distribution spans both established refining corridors and states that have been attracting new downstream investment.
Among recent large-scale projects in the sub-sector, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited has two entries under approvals for refinery and petrochemical complexes in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, each valued at Rs 103,408 crore. Indian Oil Corporation Limited's petroleum refinery expansion at Koyali, Vadodara, Gujarat — valued at Rs 17,825 crore — has entered the construction stage. Details on that project are covered in our earlier reporting: IOC Gujarat Refinery Expansion Awaits Downstream Units to Hit 18 Mtpa.
Recent Activity in the Sub-Sector
Beyond large refineries, Projects India's tracked list includes smaller expansion and new-build projects. Petro Carbon and Chemicals Limited has two projects under approvals — a calcined petroleum coke plant at Haldia Industrial Growth Centre valued at Rs 141.5 crore, and a coal distillation plant at Haldia valued at Rs 91 crore. RPS Industries Private Limited is pursuing a grain-based bio-ethanol manufacturing unit at Orvakal Mega Industrial Hub, Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, valued at Rs 90 crore, also under approvals.
There are currently no open India tenders in the Mining Projects sector as recorded in the Projects India database.
What this means for suppliers and contractors
The HNGIL expansion, though limited in publicly available detail at this stage, adds to an already active pipeline in the petroleum products refinery sub-sector. With 54 projects under approvals and 21 in the planning stage, suppliers of equipment, engineering services and construction materials face a sizeable forward opportunity once these projects clear regulatory hurdles and move toward procurement.
Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra account for 47 of the 124 tracked projects, making these states the primary focus for companies seeking early positioning. Assam's 12 tracked projects also represent a meaningful cluster, particularly for contractors with a presence in the north-east.
The 33 projects already in the construction stage signal active demand for civil, mechanical and process equipment contractors in the near term. Suppliers tracking the Mining Projects sector overview will find the petroleum products refinery sub-sector among the most active by project count.
