Shares of Essar Oil rose over 3%, touching the day's high of Rs54.40, after the company announced the completion of Vadinar refinery expansion, that will boost its turnover by 30-35% and improve margins.
The company yesterday said that it has completed the Rs8,300 crore expansion of the Vadinar oil refinery in Gujarat.
The capacity expansion and complexity enhancement gives the refinery the capability to process much heavier crude, which is cheaper.
Vadinar Refinery is now India's second largest single-location refinery, with an annual capacity of 18 million tons (up from 14 million tons currently) and a complexity of 11.8, which also makes it among the world's most complex refineries.
The company further said it is targeting newer markets like Australia, New Zealand and north-west Europe, in addition to countries in the Indian subcontinent for exporting high quality fuels.
