- During the year 2008-09, the performance of IndianOil refineries surpassed the levels achieved earlier –
- 3.7% growth in crude oil processing over the previous year with the highest ever throughput of 49.16 million tonnes and 103% capacity utilisation.
- Lowest overall specific energy consumption of 64 MBTU/BBL/NRGF (MBN) achieved, as against 67 in 2007-08.
- Highest combined distillate yield of 74.6 wt% achieved, surpassing the previous best of 73.7 wt% in 2007-08.
- A record overall production of LPG, MS, SKO, HSD, Microcrystalline wax and Paraffin was achieved during the year. Five refineries achieved their highest levels of crude oil throughput during the year:

- The year saw consolidation in stream sharing between refineries for better optimisation, capacity utilisation, value addition and enhanced margins. Important steps included transfer of Straight Run Gas Oil from Koyali to Panipat and Mathura and from Haldia to Barauni; Reformate transfer from Koyali to Guwahati and Mathura, PX Naphtha transfer from Mathura to Panipat, Benzene transfer from Panipat to Koyali, etc.
- During the year, the Process Design Engineering Cell took several initiatives such as capacity revamp by 40% of Naphtha Splitter Unit of Mathura Refinery, de-bottlenecking of Amine treating & regeneration system of Guwahati Refinery, development of a new process to enhance recovery of H2S from conventional sour water strippers, etc.
- New projects worth almost Rs. 32,000 crore were approved during the year. These included a state-of-the-art refinery at Paradip (Rs. 29,777 crore), Motor Spirit Quality Improvement projects at Barauni (Rs. 1492 crore), Guwahati (Rs. 372 crore) and Digboi (Rs. 356 crore) refineries.
- Two more Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects - AVU Energy Optimisation project at Digboi and Flare Gas Recovery Project at Haldia - were registered with UNFCCC (United National Framework Convention on Climate Change) during the year. CDM allows emission reduction projects in developing countries to earn certified emission reduction (CER) credits, each equivalent to one tonne of CO2. These CERs can be traded and sold, and are used by industrialised countries to meet a part of their emission reduction targets under the Kyoto Protocol. This was in addition to the energy audits and conservation initiatives undertaken at the refineries that yielded savings of 67,800 SRFT (Standard Refinery Fuel Tonne) per year (both long and short term) and a potential savings of 1,28,000 SRFT per year.
