NEW DELHI (Reuters) - HPCL-Mittal Energy Ltd (HMEL), part owned by steel tycoon L N Mittal, plans to shut its 180,000 barrels per day (bpd) Bathinda refinery in Punjab for about 40 days from mid-March to raise its capacity by a quarter, sources said.
During the shutdown HMEL will raise the crude processing capacity of the existing crude distillation unit to about 225,000 bpd, sources with knowledge of the plan said.
