Brass parts[edit]
It was formerly known as 'Brass City', since it houses
more than 5,000 large-scale and 10,000 small-scale
workshops manufacturing brass items in and around
the industrial estates of Shankar Tekari, GIDC
Phase-III, M P Shah Udhyognagar and Dared GIDC-
II Industrial estate. Brass parts and extruded rods
produced here are used in a number of products.
Parts are exported to many countries. Jamnagar has
the largest production of brass items in the country.
Refineries[edit]
Jamnagar is known as 'World's Oil City' because the
world's biggest oil refineries, belonging to Reliance
Industries and Nayara Energy, are here.
Reliance Industries refinery:
The Jamnagar Refinery is a private sector crude oil
refinery owned by Reliance Industries Limited. The
refinery was commissioned on 14 July 1999 with an
installed capacity of 661,000 barrels per day
(105,100 m3/d). It is the largest refinery in the
world.[20] The refinery is currently undergoing a
massive expansion, scheduled for commissioning in
2008,[needs update] that will double its capacity to 1.2
million barrels per day (190,000 m3/d).[citation needed]
According to an article in the 28 April 2008 issue
of Fortune Magazine, the Reliance Industries oil
refinery at Jamnagar will produce 1.2 million US
gallons (4,500 m3) of petroleum, or 5% of the world's
capacity, after the expansion is completed in
December 2008. The expansion began in October
2005 and is being managed by San Francisco-
based Bechtel Corporation. The expanded refinery
covers an area equal to 1/3 the size of Manhattan.
The refinery has an advanced design, so that it can
process a wide range of crude oils, including heavy
high-sulfur sour crude, which many refineries cannot
handle. Reliance Industries has said that the
refinery's output is for export only and will not be
sold domestically within India. Reliance is targeting
the US market for gasoline and the European
market for diesel. The refinery is owned by
Reliance's Reliance Petroleum Ltd. unit, in which US
oil company Chevron Corp. has a 5% stake.
Nayara Energy Refinery:
Nayara Energy owns India's second largest single
site refinery at Vadinar, Gujarat, having a capacity of
20 million tonnes per year, or 405,000 barrels per
day (64,400 m3/d). Vadinar Refinery has a
complexity of 11.8, which is amongst the highest
globally. The refinery is capable of processing some
of the toughest crudes and yet produce high quality
Euro IV and V grade products.
