Reliance's Jamnagar complex represents the largest industrial project ever implemented by

anyone from the Indian corporate sector.

The Jamnagar complex is a fully integrated manufacturing facility, with a petroleum refinery

complex, an aromatics/petrochemical complex, a power generation complex and a port and

terminal complex that provides access to a pipeline network.

The high degree of integration at the Jamnagar complex allows for feedstock and product

linkages that continue to lead to higher efficiencies and enhanced value addition.

 Location

Situated on the northwest coast of India, the integrated refinery-cumpetrochemicals

complex of Reliance is located at village Motikhavdi,

Lalpur Taluka, Jamnagar District, in the state of Gujarat.

The complex, about 815 kilometers by road from Mumbai and

approximately 25 kilometers from the city of Jamnagar, is in proximity to the Gulf of Kutch, a sheltered bay close to the Middle-East crude oil sources.

Total area

The entire Jamnagar complex, consisting of manufacturing and allied facilities such as utilities

and off-sites, port facilities and a township for the employees, sprawls over more than 7,500

acres. If the complex were to be located in Mumbai or London, the area would have covered

more than one-third of these metropolises.

Total investment

The entire Jamnagar complex entailed a total investment of about Rs 25,000 crore (about US$

6 billion).

Making of Jamnagar complex

Created in a record time of less than three years, the Jamnagar complex would always remain

a special experience for Reliance. The project is of titanic proportion and has taken, for its

completion, millions of engineering man-hours spread over many international engineering

offices; thousands of tonnes in equipment and material, procured from leading suppliers across

the globe; highly advanced construction equipment of unbelievable sizes; construction workforce

of over 75,000 working round the clock for months; a great number of innovative techniques in

project execution; and project management expertise of Reliance acquired over the past several years.
