Kirloskar Ebara Pumps Limited (KEPL) is proud to announce the successful supply of 16 pump packages for the Paradip-Numaligarh Crude Oil Pipeline (PNCPL) Project. This ambitious project involves supply of critical pumps from Paradip to Numaligarh, across four pumping stations, marking a significant milestone in India’s energy infrastructure development

The PNCPL Project, spearheaded by Numaligarh Refinery Ltd (NRL), is a critical initiative aimed at expanding NRL’s capacity from the current 3.0 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) to 9.0 MMTPA. This expansion is essential to meet India’s increasing demand for petroleum products. A new crude pipeline has been developed to support this capacity enhancement, stretching 1,630 kilometers and encompassing four stations across multiple states.

The collaboration between KEPL and NRL significantly contributed to the successful outcome of this extensive project. The scope of KEPL’s contribution included supply of 16 high-performance crude handling pumps as a part of one of the longest crude oil pipeline projects in India. This project stands out as one of the most complex and critical specifications successfully undertaken by KEPL including High Torque (HT) drives, Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), Leak Detection Systems (LOS), Monitoring and Management Systems (MMS) as well as the integration of various state-of-the-art monitoring systems.

The successful execution of the PNCPL Project demonstrates KEPL’s expertise and reliability in handling large-scale, complex infrastructure projects in the industry. This achievement not only reinforces KEPL’s reputation for excellence but also positions the company for future opportunities in even larger and more challenging projects.
