Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL), India’s largest integrated energy major with presence in oil, gas, petrochemicals and alternative energy sources, has selected AVEVA, a global leader in industrial software, to drive its digital transformation and sustainability. As a key initiative under its digitalisation project i-DRIVE, IOCL aspires to transform its scheduling work process across nine refineries and one petrochemical complex in India for implementation of Refinery Production Scheduler.

By implementing AVEVA technology, IOC could enhance efficiency by using a digital system-driven scheduling approach for consistent and value-focused operations. Most importantly, the new relationship would allow their energy professionals to focus on the business through enhanced decision support.

AVEVA looked forward to their association with an energy giant like IOCL and being an integral part of their transformational journey.
