Anchoring the Next Wave of Growth

Anchoring the Next Wave of Growth

TDVS Gopalakrishna, ED, Refineries, IOCL, Paradeep.

TDVS Gopalakrishna is anchoring the next wave of growth who took over as the executive director of Indian Oil Corporation Limited(IOCL) owned Paradeep refinery in December 2018 is successfully leading the new crest of growth for the oil major.

When IOCL commissioned the 15 million tonne grassroots refinery at coastal Paradeep, it always had the potential and promise to be elevated to the next level.

Helming the refinery, Gopalakrishna(Anchoring the Next Wave of Growth) realized he had an enormous challenge to surmount.

Not only was the refinery’s capacity to be scaled up to 25 million tonnes per annum, but IOCL had also placed huge stakes on developing a state-of-the-art petrochemical complex to create and sustain a pulsating ecosystem for oil, chemicals and petrochemicals units- both upstream and downstream.

The dream to that massive expansion trail got the first major breakthrough when the High-Level Clearance Authority (HLCA) chaired by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and the apex body to endorse investments in the state recently gave its go-ahead to the expansion projects.

The HLCA approved two separate proposals by IOCL with an investment package adding up to in upwards of Rs one lakh crore.

IOCL has pledged a massive investment of Rs. one lakh crore to ramp up capacity of its coastal crude oil refinery at Paradip from 15 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) to 25 mtpa.

It also intends to put up a petrochemicals complex consisting of a dual feed cracker, naphtha cracker and petcoke gasification plant at Paradip.

Besides creating employment for 12,595 people, IOCL’s facilities will ensure the availability of building block feedstock to ancillary and downstream units in the chemical and petrochemicals sector.

The second investment from IOCL was the establishment of PX-PTA (purified terephthalic acid) with an investment of Rs 9136 crore in the existing crude oil refinery at Paradip.

IOCL has already invested Rs 35,000 crore on the refinery project. To fulfill the expansion plan and install all the envisaged units, IOCL has asked for around 4000 acres of land.

An IITian with an engineering degree in chemical engineering, Gopalakrishna has over 32 years’ experience in various positions at Guwahati Refinery, Refineries Headquarters, Corporate Office, Business Development, Panipat Refinery & Petrochemical Complex, and Paradip Refinery.

His experience includes technical services, operations, international trade, business development (gas), project management and petrochemicals. 

Prior to joining Paradip Refinery, he served as in-charge of Indian Oil’s largest petrochemical complex at Panipat.

“Gopalakrishna’s(Anchoring the Next Wave of Growth) leadership is important at this juncture as Paradip Refinery is looking forward to massive investments in coming years. The IOCL is planning to ramp up the Paradip Refinery capacity to 25 mmtpa from the present 15 MMTPA. It also plans for investments for up-gradation of MS/HSD to BS-VI quality MEG, PX-PTA, and Pet-coke gasification”, said a senior executive of the refinery.

Gopalakrishna’s(Anchoring the Next Wave of Growth) experience includes Technical Services, Operations, International Trade, Business Development (Gas), Project Management and Petrochemicals.

Prior to joining Paradip Refinery, he served as In-charge of Indian Oil’s largest Petrochemical Complex at Panipat.

10 Years in positive journalism, and counting…..

One decade of carrying positive journalism is no less than providing a service to the nation. As a result, the fear of losing the respect of the readers is what prevents us not to be stopping to any publications related to those inspiring personalities on a regulative basis in order to attain inspiration. We believe that we have espoused the cause of positive and developmental journalism with utmost honesty and rigor. Unfazed by the competing media platforms who are obsessed with the TRP game and have no qualms in compromising time honored media ethics, we can safely claim we are out of this mad race for recognition. Rather, we chose the path less trodden. And, that has positioned The Interview Times where you find it today. We chose to play up the stories of those personalities who climbed the success ladder by the dint of their grit and gumption. These were the stories which escaped the wide lens of the big media. That is the narrative which you and I find relatable. And, we count on your support and patronage to keep this tradition running.

Once again, I would like to state that the entire family of Interview Times Media Network is firmly committed to positive journalism in pursuit of making a better society in the days to come. Journalism is a passion for us, not a profession. Let’s celebrate.

In this traumatic pandemic, a thank you note is incomplete without saluting the departed as well as those who lost their loved ones while pursuing journalism selflessly. Hope better days are in the offing with light and rays.

It is therefore asked all of your’s noble donations to sustain the importance of pursuing positive journalism round the year.Lets value it sacredly.
