ABB Power Grids wins INR 165 crore order from Indian Oil Corporation

ABB Power Grids has been awarded a project worth INR 165 crore by state-owned refiner Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) to ensure reliable grid connection at its Barauni refinery in Bihar. The refiner aims to expand its crude oil processing capacity at the plant by 50 percent to 9 million tons per annum in the next three years. And this project will ensure power quality for its future operations there.

The technology pioneer is delivering its 220/33 kilovolt gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) substation which will assimilate power from the Bihar State Power Transmission Corporation Ltd and IOCL’s captive generation plants and deliver it with efficiency to the Barauni refinery, critical for smoothly running the refinery’s complex processing operations. The GIS substation will also save space by as much as 70 per cent, by virtue of its compact, robust and low-maintenance design.
