The steps taken by the refinery have not only contributed to its own sustainability but also benefited the residents of Mangalore City.

The utilisation of treated city sewage water, desalinated water from our recently commissioned Desalination Plant and internally recycled effluent for the Refinery Operations, MRPL reduced its dependence on the fresh water consumption drastically at a time when Mangalore City was experiencing acute water shortage last summer.
