RIL to partly shut Jamnagar refinery
New Delhi: Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) will partially shut its old refinery in Gujarat for two-three weeks, starting on Friday. The company will idle one of the crude distillation units at the 660,000 barrel-a-day plant for routine maintenance work, RIL said in a statement to the Bombay Stock Exchange.
Fuel supply won’t be affected because other units at the refinery will operate normally, the refiner said. Reliance previously shut a crude distillation unit at the refinery for 10 days in October 2007.
