據油價網7月23日消息稱，印度最大的煉油商印度石油公司 (IOC) 主席 Shrikant Madhav Vaidya 告訴彭博社，該公司希望在未來五年內將其原油煉油能力提高三分之一，因為它認為印度的汽油和柴油需求將繼續上升。
Vaidya在接受彭博社采訪時表示:“我堅信，所有形式的燃料都將有一席之地——化石燃料就在那里。”
IOC高管表示：“消費正在突飛猛進，能源安全是我最關心的問題，而這可能不是發達國家所關心的。”
IOC正在投資130億美元擴大產能，這將使其原油處理能力提高到每天215萬桶。
惠譽評級上周上周確認IOC的評級為BBB-時表示，IOC 經營著印度 23 家煉油廠中的 11 家，擁有 51% 的原油和產品管道份額（按長度計算）以及 42% 的燃料零售網點份額。
其董事長告訴彭博社，這家印度頂級煉油商正在采取一些措施投資低碳能源。Vaidya 說，IOC用氫進行運輸試驗，投資太陽能、風能和電池技術，并計劃用可再生能源為新裝置供電。
與石油到電信集團印度信實不同，IOC 的戰略始終基于對化石燃料的需求。上個月，董事長Mukesh Ambani表示，信實計劃在三年內投資100多億美元，建立一個新的業務部門，建立太陽能模塊、電池存儲、電解槽和燃料電池工廠。
印度首富Ambani表示，作為印度制造能源轉型解決方案的一部分，信實將創建一個可再生能源部門，在三年內投資101億美元(7500億印度盧比)。信實工業擁有印度最大的煉油廠和世界上最大的煉油中心賈姆納加爾。該煉油廠的原油處理能力為124萬桶/天。

India's Largest Refiner Plans To Ramp Up Capacity This Decade
Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), the largest oil refiner in the country, looks to boost its crude oil refining capacity by one-third over the next half-decade as it believes gasoline and diesel demand will continue to rise in India, IOC’s chairman Shrikant Madhav Vaidya told Bloomberg.
“I firmly believe all forms of fuel will have a place to stay -- fossil fuels will be there,” Vaidya told Bloomberg in an interview published on Friday.
“Consumption is going from leaps and bounds and energy security is the primary concern for me, which may not be the concern to the developed world,” IOC’s top executive said.
IOC is investing US$13 billion in its capacity expansion, which will raise its crude oil processing capabilities to as much as 2.15 million barrels per day (bpd).
IOC operates 11 of India’s 23 refineries and has a 51-percent share of crude and product pipelines (by length) and a 42-percent share in number of fuel retail outlets, Fitch Ratings said last week, when it affirmed IOC’s rating at BBB-.
The top Indian oil refiner is taking some steps in investing in low-carbon energy, its chairman told Bloomberg. IOC experiments with hydrogen for transport, invests in solar, wind and battery technology, and plans to power new units with renewable energy, Vaidya said.
IOC’s strategy continues to be based on demand for fossil fuels, unlike that of oil-to-telecoms conglomerate Reliance Industries. Last month, chairman Mukesh Ambani said that Reliance Industries plans to invest more than US$10 billion in three years in a new business unit that will build a solar module, battery storage, electrolyser, and fuel cell factories.
As part of a drive to be part of India-made energy transition solutions, Reliance will now create a renewables division in which it will invest US$10.1 billion (750 billion Indian rupees) in three years, India’s richest man Ambani said. Reliance Industries owns the biggest refinery in India and the biggest refining hub in the world, Jamnagar. The refinery has a crude oil processing capacity of 1.24 million bpd.
