• Anchored by a 20-year, multi-crore agreement with Reliance Industries Limited signed in May 2026; Repono handles the full EPC scope and then Operations and Maintenance.
• Multi-user facility: will serve RIL and also offer midstream capacity to other private and PSU Oil Marketing Companies.
• Commercial operations targeted within 36 months of commencement of the EPC phase; the Company says it is confident of completing well within the allotted timeline.
