HPCL Rajasthan Refinery MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

HPCL Rajasthan Refinery Limited is a joint venture in which HPCL holds 74% equity and the Government of Rajasthan holds 26%. Since the question asks the shares in the order Government of Rajasthan and HPCL, the ratio is 26:74. Therefore, option B is correct.

The Centre-State partnership in the Pachpadra, Balotra refinery is 74:26, with the Rajasthan Government holding the 26% share. The 74% share belongs to HPCL, while 2005 and 1967 are years associated with other mineral-industry entries.

The HPCL Rajasthan Refinery work commencement ceremony was held at Pachpadra in Barmer district in January 2018, not in Bikaner. PM Modi presided over the event on 16 January 2018. The refinery at Pachpadra, Barmer is jointly owned by HPCL and the Rajasthan government.

The mineral-industry account identifies Pachpadra in Balotra as the site of Rajasthan's petroleum refinery. It keeps the close industrial distractors separate: Hindustan Zinc is linked with Debari and Rajpura Dariba, Hindustan Copper with Khetri, and the zinc smelter with Chanderia. Therefore the Pachpadra-Balotra clue points to the petroleum refinery.

HPCL Rajasthan Refinery Ltd. is structured with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited holding 74% equity and the Government of Rajasthan holding 26%. That makes 74% and 26% the correct pair in the same order as the question names the partners. The 72% and 28%, 68% and 32%, and 56% and 44% pairs alter the approved shareholding pattern, so they do not represent the joint venture's equity participation.
