Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--India's refineries plan to increase their deasphalting capacities by more than 143,000 barrels per day (BBL/d), to upgrade refinery residuals into value-added products by 2027.

The refiners plan to invest about US$510 million to build four solvent deasphalting units, in order to increase production of asphalt and de-asphalted oil.

Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) (Mumbai) ranks at the top, with 79,000 BBL/d in new solvent deasphalting capacity. Nayara Energy Limited (Mumbai) will add about 51,000 BBL/d, and Mangalore Refinery & Petrochemicals Limited (MRPL) (Mangaluru) will add 13,000 BBL/d.
