Nayara Energy to halt operations, impacting refining capacity

Nayara Energy plans a 35-day shutdown starting early April, removing 8% of India's refining capacity from the market. This comes amid ongoing constraints in crude and gas imports due to the Iran war. The Vadinar refinery, critical for domestic fuel supply, had deferred maintenance due to previous sanctions, impacting operations significantly.

The shutdown may tighten fuel availability, especially as Nayara primarily serves the domestic market, supplying state-run refiners that often exceed production.
