This is an increase from the current capacity of 256.8 MMTPA, with domestic consumption of petroleum products at 233.3 MMTPA for the year 2023-24.
The ministry of statistics and programme implementation (MoSPI) reported that the Gross Value Addition (GVA) of manufacturing coke and refined petroleum products rose from ₹1560 billion in 2012-13 to ₹2120 billion in 2022-23.
