LPG import

NEW DELHI DEC. 22. An unplanned shutdown of a crucial unit of the Reliance refinery at Jamnagar has forced state-run oil companies to import LPG to meet the domestic demand of cooking gas.

Seventeen cargoes of LPG are being imported for December and January, due to the shutdown of Jamnagar refinery's FCCU unit, industry sources said. Reliance, the country's largest producer of LPG, is supplying only 100,000 tonnes of LPG against the monthly commitment of 230,000 tonnes.
