Indian Oil Corporation
(IOC) is planning to raise its Mathura refinery capacity to 11 million tonne
from its current eight million tonne.
IOC has approached the
Ministry of Environment and Forest for clearance to expand Mathura refinery.
However, the capacity expansion project is hold up due to its likely impact on
Taj Mahal. The refinery processes low sulphur crude from Bombay High, imported
low sulphur crude from Nigeria and high sulphur crude from the West Asia.
