Trafigura is investing $250 Mn in Nagarjuna Oil Corporation Limited.

Of the total investment, $130 Mn will be invested as equity, while the rest will be invested for developing storage facility.

The new refinery and storage project will be located on the east coast of India, and will be able to receive supertankers, which typically can load up to 2 million barrels of oil.

Work on the construction of the refinery, with an estimated capacity of about 121,000 barrels per day and site development is expected to start this year, with commercial operations slated to kick-off in the first half of 2013.

Nagarjuna has partnered with the State Government of Tamil Nadu and Tata Petrodyne Ltd.

NOCL is part of the R43 Bn Nagarjuna Group. NOCL was operating as a subsidiary of Nagarjuna Oil Refinery Limited, but according to recent announcement on BSE, the company ceased to be subsidiary of the Nagarjuna Oil Refinery.

In the oil sector, Trafigura has access to more than 45 million barrels of storage facilities, through both its owned terminals under the PUMA network and through long-term lease agreements with third party oil terminals in over 65 locations worldwide.
