L&T has submitted bids for the proposal to expand Oman refinery. The
expansion contract is estimated at $300 million (approx Rs 1,320 crore).
The Sohar refinery has a capacity of 1,16,000 bpd which is likely to be
increased to 1,90,000 bpd. The refinery expansion is expected to increase
feedstock to Oman based industries, as well as contributing to the availability
of refined fuels for export to international markets.
Meanwhile, L&T Modular Fabrication Yard LLC, a JV between L&T and Zubair
Corporation of Oman, will dedicate its state-of-the-art fabrication facility at
Sohar on 8 November 2010 to the Sultanate of Oman.
