Reliance Industries to Shut Nagothane Plant for 4 Weeks

Mumbai: Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) on Saturday said some of the downstream and gas cracker units at its Nagothane manufacturing site will be shut for nearly four weeks starting mid-January 2015.

RIL has scheduled a planned turnaround at its Nagothane manufacturing site and the cracker and some of the downstream units will be shut for approximately four weeks, a statement issued here said.

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.

With advance planning and inventory management, impact on external sales is likely to be minimal, the release said.
