HPCL Refinery : RIL Jamnagar's New Challenge

Around 50 senior engineers recently left Reliance Industries (RIL) Jamnagar to join HPCL Mittal Energy Ltd's upcoming 9MMT Guru Gobind Singh Refinery at Bathinda in Punjab.


Considering recent refining growth in India, RIL and ESSAR refineries around Jamnagar were the only option left for poaching. most of the new refineries are built on UOP technology which serves as common ground for most of the engineers to venture in different companies.

A HR Analyst also said that this trend is just started and may be increasing over the time.
