RPL commissions its refinery in record time

India’s Reliance Petroleum (RPL), a Mukesh Ambani company, has commissioned the world’s sixth-largest refinery in record time of just 36 months. “The commissioning of the RPL refinery catapults Reliance into the league of the largest refiners globally, both in terms of complex refining capacity and earnings potential,” the company said in a statement. By commissioning the 580,000 barrel-per-day refinery in Jamnagar, Reliance Industries has become the world’s single-largest supplier of fuels to the global market. (December 29, 2008)
