HPCL Plans To Re-commence Fire-Hit Crude Vizag Unit

Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (HPCL) is planning to re-commence a 60,000 barrels-per-day fire-hit crude unit at its Visakhapatnam (Vizag) refinery by the end of June, report said, quoting a company source.

The crude unit was shut on May 16, following a fire that hit a pipeline attached to the unit.

"The first assessment is scheduled for mid-June. After that, we will get a clear picture," said the source, adding that the aim is to restart the unit by the last week of June.
