📋 SUMMARY
How does a mega refinery & petrochemical complex actually get approved and built in 🇮🇳 India? In Part 3 of the DREAM Refinery project, refinery expert Mr. Sanjay Gupta walks us through the entire front-end of project implementation — from feasibility reports (±30% estimates) to Detailed Feasibility Reports (±10%), licensor selection strategies, the “Managing Licensor” concept used by giants like Reliance, and the four modes of implementation (EPCM, EPC, OBE & BOO). We then go unit by unit through the complex — CDU/VDU, Petro FCC, delayed coker, olefin plant, polymers — and map each technology to its licensors. Finally, Nicolas shows how the design is being translated into a living model on ppPLUS (Portfolio Planning PLUS) — the DREAM Project is LIVE! Join the platform and contribute! 🚀
