A fire incident occurred on April 20, 2026 at the HPCL Rajasthan Refinery Limited (HRRL), a joint venture of HPCL. The fire originated from a hydrocarbon leak through a valve/flange in the heat exchanger circuit of the Crude Distillation Unit (CDU). The fire was quickly contained and all units were isolated with no structural damage reported. There were no casualties or injuries. As a precautionary measure, the Prime Minister's scheduled dedication ceremony on April 21, 2026 was postponed. An investigation has been initiated to determine the cause and remedial measures. The company states the financial and operational impact is not expected to be material.
The fire was contained without casualties and the company expects minimal operational impact. However, the postponement of the refinery dedication and ongoing investigation suggest temporary disruption to the commissioning timeline.
