Essar Oil is scheduled to commission
its 10.5 million tpa Vadinar refinery by end-November 2006. The refinery will
start operating at 7.5 million tpa while full capacity will be attained by March
2007. Three consignments of crude (totaling 3 million barrels) are already lying
in Essar Oil's tank farm.
The refinery project, first proposed
in 1995, has suffered inordinate delays. Work on the refinery was stopped in
January 2002 only to revive in March 2005.
