Ravikumar:

According to the annual Worldwide Refinery Survey for 2002 published by the Oil and Gas Journal in their December 23, 2002 issue:

(1) There were 17 petroleum refineries in India.
(2) Only one refinery (the Hindustan Petroleum Corporation's refinery located at Visakhapatnam) produced oxygenates (i.e., MTBE and/or TAME) and the quantity was 1396 barrels per stream day.

As for how oxygenates improve the anti-knock characteristics of gasoline, you can easily find plenty of material about that by using the Google search engine.

I don't understand your final question about "process implementation in Indian refineries".

I hope this helps you.

Ravikumar:

This is the same question you asked on May 27th and which I partially answered on that same date.

As I said at the end of my response on May 27th, you could probably find quite a bit of information about the oxygenates by using the Google search engine.
