In addition, MEIL will also build utility and offsite facilities and other enabling facilities. This Mongol Refinery project is a Government-to-Government (G2G) initiative. Upon completion, the refinery is expected to produce 1.5 million tonnes of crude oil annually, catering to Mongolia's domestic demand for gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, and LPG.
With an AA robust credit rating, MEIL is India's first private company that manufactures advanced indigenous oil drilling rigs globally. It has its presence in Belgium, Italy, Chile, Houston-USA, and now East Mongolia.
In the hydrocarbon sector, the company takes up designing, procuring, and constructing vital facilities such as separation units, crude distillation and desalting plants, gas dehydration facilities, gas compression installations, gas power generation setups, storage tank systems, hydrocarbon effluent treatment solutions, and both structural and process plant piping, among other critical components.
