expansions of cracking units. Between 1997 and 2006, visbreaker capacity<br />

increased from 65 to 130 kb/d, coking capacity from 30 to 215 kb/d, catalytic<br />

cracking capacity from 150 to 470 kb/d and catalytic hydrocracking capacity<br />

from 25 to 310 kb/d.<br />

Distillation capacity is projected to almost double by 2014 to 5.2 mb/d as a<br />

result of capacity expansions and major new greenfield refineries (Figure 17.2):<br />

Vadinar in <strong>2007</strong> (210 kb/d) and 2008 (110 kb/d), Jamnagar (580 kb/d) in<br />

2009, Bina (120 kb/d) in 2010, Paradeep (300 kb/d), Barmer (150 kb/d) in<br />

2013 and Bathinda (180 kb/d) and Cuddalore (120 kb/d) in 2014. However,<br />

continuation of the increasing delays and significant budget overruns being<br />

experienced by major projects around the world could cause delays or<br />

cancellations. Although detailed conversion capacities are not fully reported for<br />

those projects and their refining configuration may be subject to modification,<br />

we expect the complexity of the refining sector to continue to increase.<br />

Beyond 2014, we expect refining capacity to grow in line with domestic oil<br />

consumption. Distillation capacity reaches 8.1 mb/d in 2030 – about two-anda-half<br />

times the current level. India would therefore remain an export refining<br />

hub over the projection period. India is geographically well placed, close to<br />

both Middle Eastern crude oil supplies and to rapidly expanding refined<br />

products markets in Asia and the Middle East. Lower costs compared to other<br />

countries contribute to the competitiveness of Indian refining. Nonetheless,<br />
