For the December quarter, the company posted an inventory loss of 34.65 billion rupees ($484.14 million) due to a fall in crude oil prices.
Surana said HPCL will complete the construction of its proposed 180,000 barrels per day refinery in western India by October 2022. ($1 = 71.5700 Indian rupees), according to Reuters.
