Essar says 400,000 bpd refinery running at half capacity

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Essar Oil is operating its 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) refinery at Vadinar at half of its capacity due to repair works at a pipeline linked to its crude unit, a company spokesman said.

The reduced throughput took place on Saturday and the refinery is expected to resume full operations by Wednesday or Thursday, he said.
