Bharat Petroleum Shuts Down Diesel Unit At Mumbai Refinery: Report

Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL) has shut down the diesel hydro desulphuriser at its 240,000 barrel per day (bpd) refinery at Mumbai due to a technical problem, according to a media report.

The unit was shut down last week and is likely to remain closed for 10-15 days more. BK Datta, BPCL's head of refineries, declined to comment on the matter.

BPCL also operates the 190,000 bpd refinery in Kochi and has majority stakes in the 60,000 bpd Numaligarh refinery in the Northeast.
