　　沙特阿拉伯正在討論投資巴拉特石油公司 (BPCL) 正在開(kāi)發(fā)的一個(gè)新煉油廠項(xiàng)目，這是該國(guó)對(duì)印度 1000 億美元投資戰(zhàn)略的一部分。一位高級(jí)政府官員表示，該倡議符合沙特阿拉伯在印度勘探綠地項(xiàng)目和戰(zhàn)略石油儲(chǔ)備的雄心。

　　BPCL 正處于規(guī)劃新煉油廠的初步階段，旨在滿足印度不斷增長(zhǎng)的能源需求。該項(xiàng)目的地點(diǎn)尚未最終確定，BPCL 和沙特官員之間的技術(shù)討論正在進(jìn)行中。截至本文發(fā)布時(shí)，BPCL 尚未就相關(guān)進(jìn)展做出回應(yīng)。

　　2019年，沙特阿拉伯與印度簽署了諒解備忘錄（MoU），概述了農(nóng)業(yè)、基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施、制造業(yè)和能源等領(lǐng)域的1000億美元投資計(jì)劃，但該投資尚未完全落實(shí)。

　　印度石油部長(zhǎng)潘卡吉·賈恩（Pankaj Jain）9月會(huì)見(jiàn)了沙特能源部長(zhǎng)和沙特阿美公司官員，重點(diǎn)討論了石油和天然氣領(lǐng)域的合作。隨著印度努力擴(kuò)大煉油能力以滿足不斷增長(zhǎng)的國(guó)內(nèi)需求，對(duì)新煉油廠的投資可能會(huì)發(fā)揮至關(guān)重要的作用。

　　據(jù)報(bào)道，BPCL 正在考慮建設(shè)一座年產(chǎn)量 1200 萬(wàn)噸 (MMTPA) 的煉油廠，預(yù)計(jì)成本為 5000 億印度盧比（59.5 億美元）。雖然該項(xiàng)目的時(shí)間表和確切地點(diǎn)尚未確定，但媒體報(bào)道稱安得拉邦和北方邦正在被考慮作為潛在地點(diǎn)。

　　BPCL 在孟買、科欽和比納運(yùn)營(yíng)煉油廠，并宣布計(jì)劃在未來(lái)五年內(nèi)在煉油、石化和清潔能源等核心領(lǐng)域投資 17 億印度盧比（202.3 億美元）。

　　Saudi Arabia eyes investment in BPCL’s new refinery project

　　Saudi Arabia is in discussions to invest in a new refinery project being developed by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), marking part of the kingdom’s larger USD100 billion investment strategy for India. The initiative aligns with Saudi Arabia’s ambitions to explore greenfield projects and strategic petroleum reserves in India, according to a senior government official.

　　BPCL is in the preliminary stages of planning the new refinery, aimed at meeting India’s growing energy demand. The location for the project is yet to be finalised, and technical discussions between BPCL and Saudi officials are ongoing. A response from BPCL regarding the developments was not available at the time of publication.

　　In 2019, Saudi Arabia signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with India, outlining a USD100 billion investment plan across sectors including agriculture, infrastructure, manufacturing, and energy, though the investment has yet to fully materialise.

　　India’s Petroleum Secretary Pankaj Jain met with Saudi energy ministers and officials from Saudi Aramco in September, focusing on cooperation in the oil and gas sector. With India pushing to expand its refining capacity to meet rising domestic demand, this investment in new refineries could play a crucial role.

　　BPCL is reportedly considering a 12 million metric tonne per annum (MMTPA) refinery, with an estimated cost of INR50,000 crore (USD5.95 billion). While the timeline and exact location of the project remain undecided, media reports suggest that Andhra Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh are being considered as potential sites.

　　BPCL operates refineries in Mumbai, Kochi, and Bina, and has announced plans to invest INR1.7 lakh crore (USD20.23 billion) over the next five years across core areas such as oil refining, petrochemicals, and clean energy.
