印度石油公司将于明年与维托尔公司在新加坡启动合资企业,以扩大全球原油和燃料贸易。 Indian Oil to launch Singapore-based joint venture with Vitol next year to expand global crude and fuel trading.

印度石油计划明年初与全球贸易商Vitol在新加坡发起一个合资企业,扩大为国际原油和燃料贸易,标志着从目前对国内炼油厂业务的侧重向战略转变。 Indian Oil plans to launch a Singapore-based joint venture with global trader Vitol early next year to expand into international crude and fuel trading, marking a strategic shift from its current focus on domestic refinery operations. 五至七年的伙伴关系,加上一项退出条款,旨在削减原油采购成本、提高利润率和通过维托尔公司的全球网络实现出口。 The five- to seven-year partnership, with an exit clause, aims to cut crude procurement costs, boost margins, and enable exports via Vitol’s global network. 此举支持了印度的目标,即随着印度在全球能力下降的情况下加强其作为主要炼油中心的地位,到2030年将炼油能力提高到每天620万桶,并可能达到长期800万至900万桶。 The move supports India’s goal to grow refining capacity to 6.2 million barrels per day by 2030 and potentially 8–9 million bpd long-term, as the country strengthens its position as a major refining hub amid global capacity declines. 印度石油控制着印度31%的炼油能力,在选择Vitol之前对几家公司进行了评估。 Indian Oil, which controls 31% of India’s refining capacity, evaluated several firms before choosing Vitol.
