Nayara Energy starts operations at Vadinar refinery after maintenance shutdown

NEW DELHI, - India's Nayara Energy has resumed operations at its 400,000 barrels-per-day Vadinar refinery after a maintenance shutdown, two ‌sources ⁠with knowledge of ⁠the matter said.

The refinery resumed operations last week ​around May 13, one of the sources said.

Nayara ​did not ⁠respond to ‌a Reuters ​email ​seeking comment.


Nayara ⁠Energy, majority-owned by Russian entities including oil ​major Rosneft, had ​fully shut its refinery in western Gujarat state for maintenance from April 9.

Nayara was ‌originally scheduled to shut the refinery ​for a month-long ​maintenance ⁠last year but had to postpone the plan as European Union ​sanctions made it difficult to secure key items required for the turnaround.
