Claim
India is a major power in crude oil refining; the world's largest oil refinery is in Jamnagar, Gujarat, which can refine 1.2 million barrels of crude oil per day.
“कच्चे तेल को रिफाइन करने के मामले में हम सबसे बड़ी ताकत है। दुनिया की सबसे बड़ी तेल रिफाइनरीज गुजरात के जामगर में है। जहां हर दिन 12 लाख बैरल कच्चा तेल रिफाइन हो सकता है”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The core facts check out: the Jamnagar complex in Gujarat, operated by Reliance Industries, is the world's largest oil refinery, and its capacity of roughly 1.24 million barrels per day matches the anchor's stated 1.2 million (12 lakh) barrels. India is indeed a major refining power, ranking 4th globally by capacity. The only slight overstatement is the Hindi phrasing 'sabse badi taakat' (biggest power) — India is a top-four refiner, not the world's largest overall — but the claim as framed around Jamnagar is correct.
