Solution
One inland oil refinery in India is the Mathura Refinery located in Uttar Pradesh.
The sources of crude oil for such inland refineries mainly include domestic oilfields like the Assam-Arakan belt, the Gujarat-Cambay belt, and the Mumbai High offshore zone. These areas produce crude oil that is transported to inland refineries for processing. Additionally, India imports crude oil, mainly from Gulf countries, to meet its demand. So, inland refineries process both domestically produced crude and imported crude oil.
