Nayara Energy commissions Vadinar refinery upgrade for BS-VI diesel

Nayara Energy has commissioned its Vacuum Gasoil Mild Hydrocracker (VGO-MHC) Revamp Project at its Vadinar refinery in Gujarat, enabling the facility to produce 100 per cent of its diesel output to BS-VI standards on a continuous basis.

The upgrade is expected to extend the unit's operating cycle by more than 150 per cent, allowing longer intervals between planned shutdowns and improving continuity of fuel production and supply. It is also expected to improve operational efficiency and crude processing flexibility, taking the refinery's Nelson Complexity Index to 12.6.

Commenting on the commissioning, Sergey Denisov, Chief Development Officer, Nayara Energy, said the project had been executed despite a challenging global environment through a more self-reliant approach. He highlighted the installation of a 1,435-tonne reactor in an operating refinery environment as a key engineering milestone, demonstrating the company's ability to undertake complex refinery upgrades.

The company said the investment would strengthen the refinery's operational reliability and support the production of cleaner fuels for India's energy requirements.
