Nayara Upgrades Vadinar Refinery to Ensure Diesel Production Meets BS-VI Std

Nayara Energy has upgraded its Vadinar refinery in Gujarat to ensure that 100 per cent of its diesel production continuously meets BS-VI emission standards, strengthening its ability to produce cleaner fuels and improve operational reliability.

The company said it has commissioned the Vacuum Gasoil Mild Hydrocracker (VGO-MHC) Revamp Project at the refinery. The upgrade is aimed at strengthening the refinery's ability to produce cleaner fuels while improving operational reliability and supporting India's energy requirements, according to a press release.

The project extends the unit's operating cycle by more than 150 per cent, allowing longer intervals between planned shutdowns and ensuring greater continuity in fuel production and supply. It is also expected to improve operational efficiency and crude processing flexibility, taking the refinery's Nelson Complexity Index to 12.6.

“Despite a challenging global environment, the project was successfully commissioned through a more self-reliant execution approach. This included the installation of a 1,435-ton reactor in a live refinery environment, underscoring Nayara Energy’s ability to safely execute complex refinery upgrades at scale,” said Sergey Denisov, Chief Development Officer, Nayara Energy.
