Mittal said the refinery will feed fuel into deficit markets of northern India. HPCL Mittal Energy Ltd, a joint venture of Mittal’s Mittal Energy Investments and state-owned Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd (HPCL) was built in 42 months.

HPCL and Mittal Energy Investment Pte Ltd, Singapore - a Lakshmi Mittal Group company, hold 49 per cent stake each in HEML, while 2 per cent is held by financial institutions. The refinery has high Nelson Complexity Index which will enable maximising value-added products even from heavy/sour crudes. Crude oil to the refinery is to be ferried through a 1,014 km pipeline from Mundra in Gujarat where the oil is imported from abroad.

The new unit has raised the total oil refining capacity in the country to 213 million tonne per annum, from 198.886 million tonne.
