It is also focussing on cutting-edge research in nanotechnology, petrochemicals & polymers, coal gasification/liquefaction, and gas-to-liquid technologies. The Centre is also nurturing an eco-system conducive for innovations in the domestic hydrocarbons sector through a Startup Fund .
Synergy Beyond Energy
Over the past decade, IndianOil has assiduously built its new businesses, that is, petrochemicals and natural gas marketing, to a level where they have achieved integration with the core verticals. The Corporation's upstream forays into Exploration & production have also yielded significant results in the form of a sizeable portfolio of oil & gas assets in India and abroad.
Besides being the second largest player in the domestic petrochemicals market, with 3.15 MMTPA capacity, IndianOil exports to over 70 countries, offering the complete slate of petrochemical products and intermediates under the brand name PROPEL. The Corporation has set up world-scale petrochemical plants at Gujarat, Panipat and Paradip refineries over the last two decades with a capex of over Rs. 25,000 crore, and has firm plans to invest Rs. 26,000 crore more till the year 2023-24 to consolidate business, expand capacities and enter niche grades. These projects include revamp/augmentation of existing capacities and new projects, forward integration plans into plastics and textiles parks as well as equity investment in Hindustan Urvarak & Rasayan Ltd. (HURL) for production of fertilizer.
As the second largest player in India in natural gas, IndianOil is aggressively promoting this eco-friendly fuel among all user segments: industry-transport-homes-commercial establishments. The Corporation aspires for leadership in the R-LNG segment, and is investing/enhancing share in LNG sourcing, import terminals, cross-country gas pipelines, city gas distribution (CGD) networks and bulk supplies by road-tankers. With an ambitious agenda of covering 40 Geographical Areas (GA) on its own as well as with reputed joint venture partners, IndianOil's investment on development of CGD networks, to offer piped natural gas (PNG) to households and compressed natural gas (CNG) as auto-fuel, in the next eight years is likely to be about Rs. 10,000 crore.
Upstream integration into E&P defines IndianOil's vision to bolster its energy security by way of strategic investments in oil equity across the globe. The Corporation's current upstream portfolio by way of Participating Interest comprises 12 domestic E&P assets and 12 overseas assets in 10 countries.

IndianOil has planned for Rs. 2 lakh crore (US$ 29 billion) investments in the next 5-7 years: Besides focus on refinery expansions, new technologies for clean fuels & enhanced outputs, and refinery-petrochemicals integration, IndianOil is aggressively leveraging its R&D expertise to move into horizon technologies like 2G & 3G ethanol, bio-fuels, coal gasification, H-CNG, Hydrogen fuel cells, battery technologies, etc. These technologies, along with cleaner fuels and higher engine efficiencies, can offer sustainable solutions to today's energy challenges.
Fuelling India's Green Energy Quest
IndianOil is fully aligned to India's aspirations to transit to clean energy and has planned large investments in alternative energy and sustainable development projects. IndianOil is working on expanding its solar energy and wind-power portfolio. It's diversification into alternative, renewable energy options will cover production of ethanol from refinery off-gases, a novel bio-methanation process for converting organic waste to biogas, and commercialisation of a patented, economical process and enzyme for production of 2G ethanol from agricultural waste.
A green initiative of enormous potential is
SATAT (Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation), whereby Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) produced from organic waste or biomass like farm residue, cattle dung, sugarcane press mud, etc., by entrepreneurs will be marketed for use in automotive, industrial and commercial sectors in local markets.
IndianOil has a strategic intent to scale up its presence in e-mobility by equipping its customer touch-points with turbo-charging and battery-swapping facilities for EVs and plug-in hybrids. IndianOil R&D is foraying into energy storage and batteries as a new and profitable business avenue. It has also undertaken trials of Hydrogen-spiked CNG, or H-CNG, derived from on-site compact reformers in bus fleets to reduce tailpipe emissions while at the same time enhancing mileage. The Centre is also working on Hydrogen fuel cells for transport applications, where Hydrogen is produced through the renewable route.
