It is executing projects like the Phosphorus Recovery Unit (PRU) in Bihar, Sulphur recovery unit (SRU) in Rajasthan, HRRL-Polypropylene Unit (Rajasthan), Indmax RFCC Unit (Gujarat), Rajasthan Refinery Project, IOCL - off sites & utilities at Paradip for paraxylene and purified terephthalic acid units (Odisha), for the Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation, fire fighting system at Mehsana etc.
Mark in North-East India
It strengthened the oil and gas network in the North-East region of India with the six pipeline replacement projects for ONGC, and five pipeline-laying projects in Assam in a record time.
Work for ONGC
It is supplying 47 advanced oil rigs to ONGC across India. The other hydrocarbon projects are the Assam Renewal Project, Six Pipeline replacement project, and effluent treatment plants at Rajahmundry in Andhra Pradesh, Kakinada-Visakhapatnam-Srikakulam gas pipeline project for ONGC-Cauvery Asset and LPG storage cavern project at Mangalore.
It also constructed gas compressor plants, gas-based power plants, and group gathering stations for fuel supply and storage vessels for natural gas and oil products. As a result, the company achieved a record in executing projects globally.
Megha Gas
The MEIL’s subsidiary Megha Gas supplies Piped Natural Gas (PNG) and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for India’s domestic, commercial, industry, and automobile sectors.

It supplies PNG for domestic, commercial and industry needs. Megha Gas bagged 61 geographical areas (GAs), the highest number of CGD projects in the 11th round of bidding conducted by the Petroleum Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB). Already we are pioneering in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. A remarkable achievement.
Global Footprint
The company also has its footprint in Kuwait, Jordan, Bangladesh, Singapore and other countries. It has received recognition for executing the 54-MW gas-based power plant for the Arab Potash Company in Jordan, 66 high-quality and insulated storage tanks for KIPIC in Kuwait, the De-salter project for MODEC in Singapore, and the Jamuna fertilisers project in Bangladesh.
It acquired oil rig manufacturing giant Drillmec S.P.A and oil rig service provider Petreven S.P.A which works on hydraulic drilling technology.
Drillmec
Drillmec, a subsidiary company of the MEIL manufactures rigs, heavy machinery, and equipment to extract oil from sea beds and surfaces. It primarily manufactures stationary land rigs, hydraulic super single rigs, and super-spec shale rigs. These rigs are suitable from the African deserts to the rugged American mountain ranges. It has rig manufacturing units in India, Italy, USA, and Belarus and has manufactured and supplied more than 500 drilling rigs across the globe for on-shore and off-shore activities.
Petreven
Petreven, another subsidiary of the MEIL family, looks into the maintenance and servicing of rigs to improve the productivity of oil wells and the operation of rigs.
The company acquired these Italian companies to reduce the dependency on oil imports and make India self-sufficient in the oil and gas sector.
