Mr Raj Manek, Executive Director and Board Member, Messe Frankfurt Asia Holdings Ltd, expressed: “I am happy to see that India Refining Summit 2025 has brought together the leaders from the government and private sectors. I think that the collaborative discussions at the forum will discuss the future vision that will enhance the operations and trade for the refining industry and achieve decarbonisation goals. While the world is moving towards sustainability, refineries are also falling in line with sourcing clean power and utilising waste for powering the energy needs. I strongly believe the expertise shared hold immense value to develop the green future.”
According to the recent news surrounding the industry, surging domestic and international demand has led Indian refineries to operate at over 100% capacity. Complementing this, government efforts emphasize the importance of new oil and gas discoveries and expanded pipeline infrastructure, signalling an increase in natural gas utility shortly. Sustainability and decarbonisation are the most talked about in this era of industrial modernisation, the role of refineries in adopting methodologies to become sustainable will set the path for the sector’s growth.
