Complete answer:
The refinery is found along the Delhi-Agra National Highway about 154 KM far away from Delhi. The main secondary processing units provided were the Fluidised Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU), Vis-breaker Unit (VBU), and Bitumen Blowing Unit (BBU).
The refinery, which cost Rs.253.92 crores to create, was commissioned on 19 January. Construction began on the refinery in October 1972. The inspiration stone was laid by Gandhi, the previous prime minister of India.
The refinery was commissioned with a refining capacity of 6.0 million tonnes per annum and therefore the refining capacity of this refinery was expanded to 7.5 million tonnes per annum in 1989 by debottlenecking and revamping. A DHDS Unit was commissioned in 1989 for the assembly of HSD with a coffee sulfur content of 0.25% wt. (max.). The refining capacity of this refinery is 8.00 million tonnes per annum.In January 2009, the plant packs up a few times thanks to a strike.

Hence the correct answer is (Option C).

Note: The Mathura Refinery, owned by Indian Oil Corporation, is the sixth refinery of IndianOil located in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, India. The refinery processes low sulfur crude from Bombay High, imported low sulfur crude from Nigeria, and high sulfur crude from the center East.
