Reliance Industries' Nagothane site to be shut for four weeks

Reliance Industries Saturday said that under a planned

turnaround at its Nagothane manufacturing site, the cracker and some of the downstream

units will be shut for four weeks, starting around mid-January 2015.

The company said in a statement that this opportunity will be used to carry out routine maintenance activities and for implementing other profit improvement and energy conservation measures.

RIL's crackers and other downstream units at other locations will continue at normal levels of operations.

The statement added that with advance planning and inventory management, impact on external sales is likely to be minimal.
