Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) today said it has undertaken a short shutdown of one of the units at its Jamnagar facility to 'assure reliability and integrity' of operations.

While the company did not specify the nature of issue at the one of the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units (FCCU), the development is understood to have prevented the company from meeting its gasoline exports contract from the Jamnagar facility, the world's largest refining complex.

In a regulatory filing, RIL said it "has taken short shutdown of one of the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units (FCCU) at Jamnagar complex to assure reliability and integrity of operations".

The unit is expected to restart within two weeks, it added.

"The rest of the Jamnagar complex is operating normally," the filing said.

The company does not expect any material impact on overall operations of Jamnagar complex, it added.
