IOC plans maintenance shutdown at Panipat naphtha cracker

摘要

Indian Oil Corp plans to shut a 150,000 bpd crude unit at its 300,000 bpd Panipat refinery and an associated naphtha cracker plant for about a month in July, as per sources in moneycontrol.com, freeing up some naphtha for exports. IOC has lined up an extensive maintenance turnaround plan for its refineries in 2017, sources with knowledge of the plan said, which could force the country's top refiner to tap overseas markets for gasoline and diesel to meet rising local demand.
