About the Employer – Who is HRRL?
Before you apply, it helps to understand exactly who you will be working for. HPCL Rajasthan Refinery Limited (HRRL) is a Joint Venture (JV) between Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) and the Government of Rajasthan (GOR), with equity participation of 74% and 26% respectively. Incorporated on 18 September 2013, HRRL is headquartered in Jaipur, Rajasthan.
The company’s flagship project is a world-class Greenfield 9 MMTPA (Million Metric Tonnes Per Annum) Refinery-cum-Petrochemical Complex at Pachpadra, Balotra District, Rajasthan. This is not a routine PSU job posting — you would be joining the team building one of India’s most strategically important energy infrastructure projects.
What Makes HRRL a Landmark Project?
- Scale: The refinery has a capacity of 9 MMTPA, with a dedicated petrochemical production capacity of 2.4 MMTPA.
- Product Mix: The complex is designed to produce 1 MMTPA of petrol, 4 MMTPA of diesel, 1 MMTPA of polypropylene, 0.5 MMTPA each of LLPDE and HDPE, and approximately 0.4 MMTPA of benzene, toluene, and butadiene.
- Strategic Importance: The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved a revised project cost of ₹79,459 crore in April 2026 (revised from the original ₹43,129 crore), with HPCL committing a total equity of ₹19,600 crore. This level of government backing signals long-term project stability.
- Foundation: PM Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone in 2018. All LSTK (Lump Sum Turnkey) contracts have been placed and site construction is actively underway.
- Complexity: With over 26% of its output being petrochemical products, HRRL is classified as a highly complex, high-value refinery — far above the industry average.
Working at HRRL means joining an organisation backed by HPCL (a Maharatna Central Public Sector Enterprise) at the ground floor of a mega-project with decades of operational life ahead. For engineers and finance professionals at an early career stage, this offers exposure to cutting-edge refining and petrochemical technology at a scale few Indian employers can match.

HRRL Salary 2026 – How Much Will You Earn?
This is the section most applicants read first — and rightly so. HRRL follows the IDA (Industrial Dearness Allowance) pay scale used by Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs). Here is the pay structure by grade:
| Grade | Pay Scale | Approx. Basic Pay (Starting) |
|---|---|---|
| E0 | ₹30,000 – ₹1,20,000 | ₹30,000/month |

| E3 | ₹60,000 – ₹1,80,000 | ₹60,000/month |
| E5 | ₹80,000 – ₹2,20,000 | ₹80,000/month |
In addition to the basic pay, HRRL employees receive:
- Industrial Dearness Allowance (IDA) — revised quarterly, linked to the Consumer Price Index (CPI)

- Provident Fund (PF) and Gratuity — as per CPSE norms
- Medical benefits — for employee and dependent family members
- Leave Travel Concession (LTC)

💡 Pro Tip: At the E2 level with 3 years of experience, an engineer at a CPSE like HRRL can expect a total Cost to Company (CTC) in the range of ₹12–15 lakh per annum when all allowances are included. Senior Managers at E5 can be significantly higher.
