On Day 2 of India Energy Week 2026 in Goa, Engineers India Limited (EIL) highlighted its pivotal role in building and transforming India’s energy infrastructure. Speaking to OneIndia, Naveen Parashar, Executive Director, C&MD Office, EIL, said the response at the event has been overwhelming, noting that EIL has been instrumental in developing the world-class infrastructure hosting India Energy Week itself — a contribution acknowledged even during the inaugural session. With nearly six decades of engineering excellence, EIL has played a central role in India’s oil and gas journey, having built 20 out of India’s 21 refineries. The company also showcased its global footprint, including landmark projects like the Dangote Refinery in Nigeria, ongoing assignments with ADNOC in Abu Dhabi, and projects across multiple continents. The conversation focused on innovation and efficiency, highlighting EIL’s role in deploying LCMAX technology at HPCL’s Vizag refinery, improving bottoms recovery to nearly 95%, and delivering some of the world’s most energy-efficient refinery units. EIL also spoke about the growing use of AI across the entire energy value chain — from project execution to refinery operations — aimed at improving asset integrity, reliability and efficiency. As India transitions to cleaner and more sustainable energy systems, EIL continues to act as a trusted engineering partner, delivering complex, first-of-its-kind projects — from BS6 upgrades to bio-based and petrochemical complexes — and ensuring timely, risk-managed execution.

00:00The truth of India Energy Week 2026, what sort of response has EIL seen?
00:05Yeah, we are getting a tremendous response.
00:10You see the infrastructure which is built for this IAW, the world class.
00:15And EIL has been instrumental in developing this infrastructure.
00:20And this facility which is being used in coming...
00:25IAW also and this world class infrastructure.
00:30Very well appreciated even by the minister during the inaugural session.
00:35So, as far as EIL is concerned, we have a...
00:40company almost six decades old and have been instrumental in...
00:45developing complete infrastructure of energy and oil and gas sector.
00:50And almost most of the refinery out of 21 refinery 20...
00:55has been built by EIL.
00:57And if you have seen EIL...
01:00EIL is tall.
01:01We have covered almost all the projects what we have...
01:05completed for India.
01:06And not only in India, we have a global...
01:10footprint across various continents, especially just...
01:15a few years back, we have completed Dangote refinery which is...
01:18World's...
01:20one of the largest single train refinery and...
01:23we are...
01:24we are...
01:25we are...
01:26getting a...
01:27job...
01:28of...
01:29doubling that capacity.
01:30Recently, we have signed a contract with them and...
01:33we have a good footprint for...
01:35footprint in Abu Dhabi.
01:37Presently, we are...
01:38doing a...
01:39multiple jobs for...
01:40not...
01:41a...
01:42group of companies.
01:43So what sort of innovation...
01:44especially with the new...
01:45refinery and the new technology that we are coming in...
01:47how is EIL innovating...
01:50in terms of technology...
01:51in terms of improving efficiencies...
01:53EIL has...
01:55been instrumental in redefining the
02:00refinery sector especially bringing in new
02:05technologies recently if you have heard
02:08about the one of the president
02:10which is commissioned for HBCL Visek refinery
02:14that is
02:15this is the one of the world's first LC
02:20technology and it's mainly for improving
02:24the
02:25bottom's
02:26recovery
02:30up to 95% which earlier used to be less
02:33than 70%
02:35so this is one of the major achievements
02:37in the recent
02:38in addition to this
02:40we have many in-house technologies which
02:42we are providing to the clients
02:45in HBCL Visek refinery we have to
02:47given
02:48the
02:49mother unit
02:50to see you with you which is very
02:52energy efficient and it has a
02:55least
02:56energy number we can
02:57per say
02:58and it is
02:59world's most
03:00efficient refinery
03:01in addition to this we keep on doing
03:04innovation
03:05especially for improving the energy efficiency
03:08across the refinery
03:09and
03:10we have suggested many solutions to Indian refiners
03:13which are being implemented
03:15across the refinery
03:16across the refinery
03:17for improving the energy numbers
03:19so would you say these
03:20these are next emerging technologies
03:22next-gen like AI what would you if you
03:24would like to
03:25just comment on the level of technologies
03:28uh
03:29AI is being
03:30implemented across the complete value chain
03:33not only in the
03:35the
03:36project deliveries we are doing but
03:38across the
03:39refinery
03:40operations also for improving the asset integrity
03:44and
03:45reducing the
