New Delhi, 6th Jan: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday lauded the successful commissioning of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited’s (HPCL) Residue Upgradation Facility (RUF) at the Visakh Refinery in Andhra Pradesh, calling it a decisive step towards strengthening India’s energy security and self-reliance.
The Prime Minister said the state-of-the-art facility adds momentum to the country’s efforts to enhance energy independence and aligns with the broader vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
Responding to a post by Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri on X, Modi said, “This state-of-the-art facility adds momentum to our efforts towards boosting energy security, thus becoming Aatmanirbhar in this sector.”
The Residue Upgradation Facility is expected to enhance refining efficiency, improve fuel quality, and support India’s long-term energy security goals by maximising value from residual crude streams at the Visakh Refinery.
