Project Background:

Mangalore Refinery & Petrochemicals Limited (MRPL) a subsidiary of ONGC, is

expanding the refining capacity to 15 million tpa in phases.
In Phase I, capacity will be raised to 12 million tpa through minor revamps and in
Phase II to 15 million tpa, by installing an additional fluid catalytic converter.
In 2004-05, MRPL targeted to produce 9.9537 million tonne of petroleum products
by refining 10.7 million tns of crude sourced mainly from Mumbai High. It plans to
export 1.9537 million tns of products (mainly naphtha, petrol, aviation fuel and
diesel)
Polypropylene unit integrated with the Refinery - Phase III Project at an estimated
capex of Rs.1803.78 Crore. Engineers India Limited (EIL) has been engaged to

implement the project under Open Book Execution (OBE) methodology. Novelene
Technology, Germany have been selected as licensor for the project.
