Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi dedicated the HRRL project in Pachpadra, Rajasthan, to the nation on July 4, 2026.

The HRRL Refinery project represents a transformational milestone in India’s industrial and energy landscape as the nation’s first grassroots integrated refinery-cum-petrochemical complex. Developed with a refining capacity of 9 MMTPA and a petrochemical integration capability of 2.4 MMTPA, the project reflects engineering excellence at an extraordinary scale. Featuring one of India’s largest Coke Dome structures and a petrochemical intensity of nearly 26% — among the highest in the country — HRRL has been designed to strengthen India’s energy security and industrial growth ambitions. Built with future-ready sustainability principles such as Zero Liquid Discharge and Quartile-1 Energy Efficiency, the refinery stands as a testament to the collaborative vision of HPCL, the Government of Rajasthan and EIL in creating globally benchmarked, integrated and sustainable energy infrastructure.
