India’s Reliance Petroleum Ltd. (RPL) commissioned the world’s sixth-largest refinery in the record time of just 36 months, in December 2008. “The commissioning of the RPL refinery catapults Reliance into the league of the largest refiners globally, both in terms of complex refining capacity and earnings potential,” the company said in a statement. By commissioning the 580,000 barrel per day refinery in Jamnagar, Reliance Industries has become the world’s single-largest supplier of fuels to the global market. (December 29, 2008)
