EIL Secures Major Contract for Dangote Refinery Expansion in Nigeria

Engineers India Ltd (EIL) has been awarded a significant contract for the expansion of the Dangote Refinery in Nigeria. The project aims to double its refinery capacity, adding new units to boost production of fuel and polypropylene, reinforcing Africa's position in the global energy landscape.

Engineers India Ltd (EIL), a state-owned engineering consultancy, has secured a lucrative contract worth over USD 350 million. The company will act as Project Management Consultant (PMC) and EPCM Consultant for the expansion of the Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical Complex in Nigeria, a major player in global energy projects.

The Dangote Group, a leading Nigerian conglomerate, aims to increase the refinery's capacity from 650,000 barrels per day to 1.4 million barrels under Train 2, focusing on producing Euro VI-grade fuels. This expansion will also boost polypropylene production significantly through the addition of a new world-class unit.

EIL, working under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, will leverage its extensive expertise across multiple sectors to support this expansion. The initiative reflects Nigeria's goal to become a regional hub for refined products, promoting energy security and reducing dependency on imports.
