NEW DELHI (ICIS news)--India’s Reliance Petroleum Limited (RPL) is proceeding with commissioning work at its refinery and polypropylene (PP) complex at Jamnagar in Gujarat State after extinguishing a fire at the site on Monday.“There has been a fire in the project construction infrastructure area of the coming RPL refinery, where waste material was stored,” a spokesperson said.
“The fire has been extinguished and there are no injuries or casualties. “The project activities of the RPL refinery and the operation at the Reliance refinery complex are continuing normally,” the company added.
The upcoming refinery-cum-polypropylene (PP) complex is located in a special economic zone (SEZ) adjacent to the existing, export-oriented refinery and petrochemical complex owned by RPL parent, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL).
The company had planned to commission the new complex in December 2008 but had once hinted at earlier start-up.
