Reliance Says Refinery Fire Under Control, None Hurt

April 1 (Bloomberg) -- A fire at the coker unit of Reliance Industries
Ltd.'s new refinery at Jamnagar, Gujarat, has been brought under
control, said V.P. Patel, district administrator.

"There was a minor fire in a section of the refinery," Reliance said
in an e-mailed statement. "The rest of the refinery is operating
normally and product despatch is continuing as per schedule."

Reliance's unit Reliance Petroleum Ltd. commissioned the 580,000
barrel a day refinery in December. Together with the parent's
adjoining 660,000 barrel a day refinery, the complex is the world's
largest crude-processing unit.

"The fire was localized, contained and brought under control by the
Reliance firefighting team within 30 minutes," the company said.
"There have been no casualties or any injuries."

District collector Patel confirmed the incident in a phone interview.
