Reliance Industries Limited on Tuesday denied a media report that claimed the company had received Russian oil at its Jamnagar refinery in the past few weeks.
In a statement issued on social media, the company said, “A news report in Bloomberg claiming ‘three vessels laden with Russian oil are heading for Reliance Industries Limited’s Jamnagar refinery’ is blatantly untrue.”\
Reliance Industries clarified that there have been no recent deliveries of Russian crude to its refinery.
“Reliance Industries’ Jamnagar refinery has not received any cargo of Russian oil at its refinery in the past three weeks approx. and is not expecting any Russian crude oil deliveries in January,” the company said.
The company also expressed strong displeasure over the report being published despite its denial. “We are deeply pained that those claiming to be at the forefront of fair journalism chose to ignore the denial by RIL of buying any Russian oil to be delivered in January and publishing a wrong report tarnishing our image,” the statement added.
