World’s Third Largest Refinery Damaged by Fire

A fire at India’s largest oil refinery in Gujarat state has been brought under control, Reliance Industries says.

The blaze at Jamnagar injured at least one person, said officials at the company, which owns the plant.

Fire broke out in an area where crude oil was being cleaned, and several nearby units were closed. The firm says damage is still being assessed.

Analysts say any prolonged closure of the Jamnagar refinery would hit India’s production of liquefied petroleum gas.
