India Plans Refining Capacity Expansion to Boost Diesel Exports by 2027
India is set to expand its oil refining capacity to 300 million tonnes per annum by 2030, positioning itself as a global refining hub amid declining capacities in Europe and other Western regions. State-run refiners plan to increase diesel production by 16.5 million tonnes in 2027, boosting exports and strengthening India's role as a key supplier in tight global fuel markets affected by geopolitical conflicts. Officials highlight ongoing refinery expansions and new projects that will support both domestic demand and international supply.
