In 1957, Visakh Refinery went on stream under the ownership of M/s Caltex India Ltd. In May, 1978, M/s Caltex Oil Refinery (India) was amalgamated with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. The installed capacity of 1.5 mmtpa was increased to 4.5 mmtpa in 1985 and 7.5 mmtpa in 1999, through an expansion programme.
Technip has been awarded two contracts by Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (HPCL) for their diesel hydrotreater project in the Visakh refinery, on the east coast of India.
