RIL Polypropylene plant in Jamnagar down for plant maintenance

With the objective of improving product swing capability and increasing propylene yield, Reliance Industries Limited has taken a planned shutdown of its Polypropylene plant at the Jamnagar refinery complex. 

This opportunity will also be utilized to carry out other routine maintenance and turnaround activities. The shutdown is expected to last for approximately four weeks.

The rest of the units at the refinery are continuing to operate at their normal throughputs and product dispatches to customers will be unaffected through the duration of the shutdown.
