History

[edit | edit source]

Nayara Energy operates the second-largest refinery in India. It is in Vadinar, Devbhoomi Dwarka District, a few kilometres from the world's largest refining complex (Jamnagar Refinery of Reliance Industries).[citation needed]

Buyout

[edit | edit source]

It was a publicly traded company (NSE: ESSAROIL and BSE: 500134) until it was taken private in a leveraged buyout which closed on 30 December 2015. It was delisted valued at ₹380 billion (US$5.3 billion).[5][6]

Operations

[edit | edit source]

It operates over 6600 retail fuel outlets in the country, highest for any private oil company in India.[7]

The refinery is supported by a crude oil tanker facility, water intake facilities, a multi-fuel power plant, a product jetty, dispatch facilities (rail, road, and sea) and retail outlets.[8][9]

Vadinar processes ~400,000 bpd (~20 million MT/year), making it India’s second‑largest single‑site refinery, with ~7,000 retail outlets under the Nayara brand.[10]

July 2025 – European Union sanctions

[edit | edit source]

Source:[11]

On 18 July 2025, amid its 18th sanctions package targeting Russian oil and energy revenues, the EU designated Nayara Energy’s Gujarat-based Vadinar refinery—49.13 % owned by Russia’s Rosneft—as subject to sanctions, citing its status as the "biggest Rosneft refinery in India" and its role in refining Russian crude into petroleum products.[10]

These measures include:[12]

  • "prohibition on importing refined petroleum products made from Russian crude via third countries (effective after a 6‑month transition)[13];"
  • "asset freezes, travel bans, and restrictions on financial services and shipping/insurance for activities linked to refining or transporting Russian oil — including involvement in the EU "shadow fleet"[14];"
  • "a lowered EU oil price cap on Russian crude (approx. US$47.6/bbl, effective 3 Sept 2025) with a dynamic mechanism to prevent evasion[12];"

Impact and response:

  • "Nayara is banned from exporting to the EU, and risks losing access to European banking, insurance, and technology services[14]."
  • "India criticised the move as “unilateral” and accused the EU of “double standards”, citing strategic energy needs[10][13][15]."
  • "The sanctions likely hinder Rosneft’s planned 49 % stake sale and complicate Reliance’s cross-border fuel exports to Europe[16]."
