Country's largest oil marketing company India Oil Corporation has said that it will invest Rs 17,825 crore to implement Petrochemical and Lube Integration Project at Indian Oil's Gujarat Refinery.

In its BSE filing, the company said, "The Board of Indian Oil at its meeting held on 21st September 2020, has accorded approval for implementation of Petrochemical and Lube Integration Project at Indian Oil's Gujarat Refinery at an estimated cost of Rs. 17,825 crore."
