OREANDA-NEWS. Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) has scheduled a planned turnaround at its Hazira manufacturing site. The cracker unit will be shut for a period of about 4 weeks, starting from the last week of September 2014.

This opportunity will be utilised to carry out other routine maintenance and turnaround activities to enhance productivity. RIL's crackers at other locations will continue at normal levels of operations. With advance planning and inventory management, impact on external sales is likely to be minimal.
