The development of India’s Petroleum industry can be traced in the North Eastern part of India. North East region of India is the eastern gateway of India’s ‘Act East’ policy. Developing this region is the top priority of the government for overall economic development of the country. North East refineries have been playing a vital role in economic development of this region. But, these refineries unlike other refineries of the country have been facing many problems. The present study focuses on the issues and challenges faced by the refineries in North East region of the country with special reference to Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL), Numaligarh, Assam. Addressing these problems both by Central and State government in co-operation with these refineries will make them capable to work successfully which would attract the interest of the investors towards these refineries.
