The world is on the cusp of what’s likely to be the last big refining boom as India embarks on a capacity expansion to accommodate the country’s rising thirst for fossil fuels.
India is embarking on a capacity expansion of its oil refineries to meet the country s rising thirst for fossil fuels. The building blitz aims to raise production of traditional transport fuels such as gasoline and diesel, which will increase India s refining capacity by more than 20% over the next five years. This boost comes at a time when the global refining industry is declining in the US and Europe, making India a rare exception. The slower adoption of electric vehicles in India and the country s growing transport demand will keep the appetite for gasoline and diesel higher for longer.
