Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited (MRPL) was conferred the Innovation Award 2024-25 for Best Innovation in Research & Development in Refining Technology at the 28th Energy Technology Meet (ETM 2025) in Hyderabad on Tuesday (October 28).
Nandakumar V. Pillai (Director-Refinery) and Chief Managers R. Karthick and S. Nirmal Ganesh from the Innovation Centre Team of MRPL received the award from Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas.
MRPL won this award for the fourth consecutive term.
The award was conferred for MRPL’s Gradual Olefins and Aromatic Technology (GOAT) — a breakthrough crude-to-chemicals process developed indigenously by MRPL’s Research and Development team. The GOAT technology underscores India’s growing capability to convert crude oil directly into high-value petrochemicals, thereby enhancing energy efficiency, reducing carbon intensity, and advancing the nation’s journey towards sustainable refining, a MRPL release said on Wednesday (October 29).
The 28th Energy Technology Meet, themed ‘Green Energy Horizons: Advancing Sustainable Refining & Energy Innovation’, is India’s flagship congregation of downstream and energy-technology stakeholders, the release said.
