Mangalore Refinery launches new product ‘Toluene’

13 Jan 2025 Evaluate

Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals (MRPL) has launched new product ‘Toluene’. With an annual production capacity of 40 TMT, MRPL's Toluene facility exemplifies India's progress toward self-reliance and global competitiveness in the petrochemical sector.

Toluene, a versatile aromatic hydrocarbon, plays a vital role in industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, paints, and defence. India's annual demand for Toluene stands at about 650 TMT, but domestic production currently is about 160 TMT. MRPL's addition of 40 TMT per year will help bridge this gap, contributing to significant foreign exchange savings of around $3 million annually. 

This initiative represents a major stride in reducing India's dependency on imports while bolstering industrial and economic growth, in line with the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.

Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals is Category 1 Miniratna Central Public Sector Enterprise (CPSE) under the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas. The company is engaged in the business of refining of crude oil.
