Director Finance HPCL

We are deeply saddened by this tragic loss of our colleagues. Shri Sudhir Gupta and Shri Harshit Mishra were dedicated officers whose contributions will always be remembered. Our heartfelt condolences are with their families and loved ones during this difficult time.

This state-of-the-art facility adds momentum to our efforts towards boosting energy security, thus becoming Aatmanirbhar in this sector. @HardeepSPuri

Building long-term value through capability. The commissioning of the world’s first LC-Max–based Residue Upgradation Facility at Visakh Refinery , together with India’s first hydrogen-based residue hydrocracking unit, reflects strategic investment in advanced refining infrastructure. Enhanced conversion efficiency to higher distillates, improved energy intensity, and capability to process all types of heavy crudes strengthens the economic profile of Visakh Refinery. With a substantially improved Nelson Complexity Index, the refinery is now positioned among India’s most advanced assets, supporting long-term competitiveness, global benchmarking, and sustainable value creation.

Used oil from frying pans is being used to flying planes! Yet another significant milestone in meeting India’s SAF blending mandate of achieving 1% blending by 2027, 2% by 2028 and 5% by 2030. This is a positive step towards our cleaner, greener and self-reliant energy future under the dynamic and decisive leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji. Visakh Refinery of @HPCL has inaugurated the demonstration plant of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production through co-processing of Used Cooking Oil (UCO) in its Full Conversion Hydrocracker Unit leveraging the existing refinery assets. As per HPCL’s roadmap, post CORSIA certification, Visakh Refinery will produce ~10 TMT per annum of SAF from January 2027, supporting our nation's commitment to decarbonising aviation and promoting a circular, waste-to-wealth economy. This pioneering initiative strengthens our countries energy #Aatmanirbharta, aligns with global CORSIA standards, and reinforces the nation’s Net-Zero targets. @PMOIndia @PetroleumMin @MoCA_GoI @SwachhBharatGov @HPCL_VR @PIB_India #SustainableAviationFuel #SAF #EnergyTransition #AtmanirbharBharat #NetZero #HPCL

A New Year offers an opportunity to reflect on our journey and move forward with renewed clarity and confidence. It reinforces the value of thoughtful decision-making, sustained focus, and collective discipline in driving long-term progress. As we step into the year ahead, I wish everyone continued success in their endeavours, strength through collaboration, and fulfilment in our shared achievements. Wishing all a healthy, progressive, and rewarding New Year. #HappyNewYear #HPCL

Happy Diwali! May this Diwali bring prosperity that’s measured in numbers, purpose, and trust. As we move forward with financial prudence and responsibility, let us continue building a future that shines bright with opportunity, balance, and shared success.
