--RIL: Natural gas from KG-D6 Basin to be diverted to priority sectors 
--RIL: Taking steps to maximise LPG production at Jamnagar facility 

MUMBAI – Reliance Industries Ltd. is taking steps to increase domestic fuel availability by maximising liquefied petroleum gas production at its Jamnagar refining and petrochemicals complex and diverting natural gas from the KG-D6 basin to priority sectors, the company said in a press statement late Tuesday evening.

It said ensuring Indian households have uninterrupted access to essential fuels remains a key priority for the company at a time when global energy markets were witnessing volatility. The statement by the private sector oil refiner comes amid recent disruptions in LPG supply and production due to the military conflict in West Asia.

The company said its teams were working to optimise refinery operations at Jamnagar, the world's largest integrated refining hub, in order to enhance liquefied petroleum gas output and maintain stable supplies to the domestic market.

Reliance operates two refineries at its Jamnagar complex, with an installed capacity of processing 1.24 million barrels of crude oil per day. Normally, Reliance runs its refineries at a capacity higher than the installed capacity. The output from Reliance refineries at Jamnagar account for nearly 8-10% of India's annual consumption of LPG at 30 million tonnes per annum.

Reliance said the move was in line with government guidelines and was aimed at supporting reliable availability of LPG, which is widely used by Indian households as a primary cooking fuel.

In addition, natural gas produced from the KG-D6 basin will be diverted to priority sectors in accordance with national energy priorities and allocation norms laid down by the government, the company said. It added that safeguarding India's energy security and ensuring reliable fuel supplies for households and key sectors remain central to its operational priority.

For the December quarter, Reliance Industries reported a consolidated net profit of INR 186.45 billion on revenue of INR 2.69 trillion. Tuesday, shares of Reliance Industries ended at INR 1,408.80 on the National Stock Exchange, down 1% from the previous close.   End
