Jamnagar refinery

As of 2024, the Ambanis’ Jamnagar refinery is the world’s largest single-location manufacturing complex spread across 25,000 acres. What started as a state-of-the-art refinery with a petrochemical complex at Jamnagar in 1999, has become the world’s largest, single-site refinery complex.

In FY99, India’s total imports of gasoline and diesel amounted to over 10 million tonnes. This figure plummeted to zero once the Jamnagar refinery commenced operations.

Today, with 1.4 million barrels per day – nearly 1.5 per cent of entire world’s refining capacity – Jamnagar is the world’s largest integrated, single-site refinery complex.

Over the last three decades, Jamnagar underwent three phases of expansion. The first phase completed in July 1999 saw the establishment of India’s largest and world’s seventh largest refinery.
