India on October 12, 2016 took yet another step in building its strategic petroleum reserves by receiving the
first parcel of crude for ISPRL's cavern at.Mangaturu. The parcel consisted of 0.26 million metric tonnes (MMT) of Iran Mix variety of crude brought on board very large crude carrier MT Dino.
ISPRLs cavern in Mangaluru is one among three such strategic national reserves - the other two being at Padur in Udupi and Vishakapatnam in Andhra Pradesh
Strategic reserves of crude oil is in line with union government's vision of keeping a reserve to meet national exigencies. Located on the East and West Coast of the country, the three underground rock caverns with total capacity of 5 MMT can store crude oil that can be used to run refineries for approximately for 14-days
The strategic reserve at Vishakapatnam with a capacity of 1.33MMT was commissioned in June 2015. Out of this, 1.03 MMT is strategic reserve and 0.3MMT is used by HPCL.
Mangaluru cavern with a capacity of 1.5MMT has two compartments of 0.75MMT each and first of these compartments is being filled now. The union government will take a call on filling the other compartment.
