With an investment of $6110 million, Indian Oil Corporation is building a petroleum terminal in
Malkapur, close to Hyderabad, and it's expected to start operating in 2019.
The terminal is anticipated to provide Indian Oil power over Telangana's fuel supplies because it will
serve as the terminus for the 1,212-km product pipeline from Paradip to Hyderabad. Executive
Director and State Head of India Oil for Telangana and Andhra Pradesh B.Anil Kumar stated on
Wednesday that "by December 2023, we will be able to commission the terminal... deliver our own
product.
The $3.3 billion pipeline will transport gasoline and diesel from the public sector oil company's
Paradip refinery in Odisha to Hyderabad, one of the key consumption zones, and connect
Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, and a few other places in Andhra Pradesh along the way.
Beginning this month, Vijayawada will begin receiving diesel supply via pipeline. In his first media
interview since taking over as Executive Director in September, Mr. Anil Kumar stated, "The pipeline
work has been finished and tankage work is ongoing in Malkapur." 0.180 million kiloliters of storage
space will be available at the terminal.
The pipeline and terminal are anticipated to lessen Indian Oil's reliance on Hindustan Petroleum
Corporation's Visakhapatnam-Hyderabad pipeline for fuel supplies in Telangana once they are
operational. Indian Oil will also relocate the operations of its Cherlapally terminal, which is close to
Hyderabad. But it's unlikely that the Cherlapally complex will be shut down, he continued.
In response to questions, he stated that Telangana's consumption of gasoline and diesel exceeded
pre-COVID retail sales levels. In comparison to the same period last fiscal year, gasoline consumption
from April through November increased by 13.2%. In the same time frame, retail diesel usage
increased by 10.2%. Around 0.123 million tonnes of gasoline and 0.266 million tonnes of diesel are
sold on a monthly average.
