Reliance Industries has shut a secondary unit at its only-for-exports oil refinery at Jamnagar in Gujarat, which may delay shipment of some product cargoes. The company’s Fluidized Catalytic Cracker Unit (FCCU) in SEZ refinery at Jamnagar had to be taken for an emergency shutdown on June 6, 2021. Reliance has two refineries that turn crude oil into value-added fuel such as petrol and diesel at Jamnagar - a 35.2 million tonne a year only-for-exports unit and a 33 million tonne plant catering to the domestic market.
The FCCU unit is being repaired on top priority and is expected to be restarted expeditiously.
Reliance Industries is India’s largest private sector company. The company’s activities span hydrocarbon exploration and production, petroleum refining and marketing, petrochemicals, retail and 4G digital services.
