During day-long visit to Gujarat Refinery, Chairman took a detailed review of Refinery operations. Interacting with the senior management team, Mr. Ashok said, “The nation is going through a challenging phase in terms of changes in oil and gas sector developments and is presenting new opportunities for us. With deregulation, competition is growing and so are the expectations of our consumers. From the refinery perspective, we must find ways for processing various types of crudes and improve yield and energy efficiencies”.
He emphasised that along with physical performance, safety of our people and infrastructure is of prime importance because collateral damage due to unsafe incidents is very high. Chairman congratulated Team Gujarat Refinery for achieving record best 80.2% wt of distillate yield and appreciated the Integrated Flare Management System (IFMS) for energy conservation which has been a pioneering effort at Gujarat Refinery.

He further said that resilient human resource remains core strength of Gujarat Refinery.
Together, we are committed to achieve the goal of safe shutdown, compliance of Auto fuel policy and expansion project.

As a part of Gujarat Refinery review, Mr. Ashok visited the various units of Residue Upgradation Units and interacted with shop-floor employees.
The Chairman addressed also employees during the Open House session. In his key-note address he appreciated the energy, passion and commitment of the employees. “IndianOil is now focussing on straddling the new entire hydrocarbon value chain through integration and diversification initiatives of the business. To succeed in our endeavours we must have a public sector approach but a private sector mindset and most importantly we must enjoy our job every day,” he said. Mr. B. Ashok was felicitated by members of collectives and pipeline and marketing team at the Open House.
