Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) has dismissed reports claiming that a fire occurred at Indian Oil’s Haldia Refinery. In a social media post, Oil Corporation said that the incident occurred near the south gate of a neighbouring industrial establishment, and not at Haldia Refinery.

It said that Haldia Refinery is operating safely and normally, with all safety and operational protocols fully in place. As a responsible neighbouring industry, Indian Oil is extending all possible firefighting assistance and support.
