Engineers India Limited (EIL), a premier engineering consultancy organization under the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, Government of India, has been a trusted partner in shaping global energy and industrial assets. With proven strengths across the entire project lifecycle—from concept to commissioning—EIL delivers excellence in oil & gas, refining, petrochemicals, fertilizers, metallurgy, infrastructure, and renewable energy sectors.
EIL partnered with the Dangote Group as the Project Management Consultant (PMC) and EPCM Consultant for the iconic 650,000 barrels-per-day Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical Complex, commissioned in 2024. This landmark facility is widely recognized as a transformative asset for Africa’s energy landscape, standing as a testament to EIL’s engineering brilliance and execution leadership. The project has reshaped Africa’s energy architecture and elevated the region as a major hub for world-class hydrocarbon assets across the entire value chain.
Dangote plans to expand its refining capacity from 650,000 barrels per day to 1.4 million barrels per day (Train 2), producing Euro VI grade fuels, as well as expanding Polypropylene production from 830 kTPA to 2.4 MMTPA Polypropylene by revamping the existing Polypropylene Unit (PPU) and installing additional PPU of 1.2 MMTPA, plus a world scale 750 kTPA UOP’s Oleflex Unit to supplement Propylene feed to PPU. The latest expansion further reinforces Nigeria’s mission to become a regional hub for refined petroleum products and petrochemicals.
Believing in EIL’s Engineering and Project Management excellence, Dangote Group has once again joined hands with EIL in this endeavor and has signed a Contract Agreement of value more than USD 350M to engage EIL as PMC and EPCM Consultant for this Project. Once completed, this expansion will position Dangote as the world’s largest petroleum refinery, strengthening fuel production within Africa, reducing reliance on imports, and supporting regional energy security.
