It is a subsidiary company of Indian Oil Corporation Limited. It is one of the leading companies under the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas of the Government of India.

It also produces products of national importance such as Navy-grade NATO diesel, missile fuel (equivalent to JP-7) and rocket propellant fuel.

The company’s two refineries (one not under operation now) have a combined annual capacity of 11.5 million tonnes. The Manali plant in Chennai has an annual capacity of 10.5 million tonnes and is one of the most advanced plants in India with production facilities for fuels, greases and waxes.
