• All critical manpower is already in position and adequately trained.

• Pre-commissioning activities gained significant momentum.

 
 

The quarter witnessed close-out of procurement and contracting activities for equipment and bulk materials. Deliveries of equipments are nearly complete. Deliveries of bulk materials, including pipes, fittings, electrical and instrumentation bulks matched the pace of equipment deliveries and their installation at site. Focus has now shifted towards achieving a rapid close-out on this front.

 
 

The progress on the construction front was equally remarkable. Civil construction is complete. All major equipments, including several super heavy equipments, have been installed and are at various stages of pre-commissioning at site. Structural steel fabrication, pipe fabrication and under-ground piping works are close to completion. Structural steel erection and above-ground piping works are at an advanced stage of completion. Hydro-testing activities are in full swing.

 
 

RPL made rapid progress in the areas of start-up planning and operations preparedness as well. Trained critical manpower is in position. Operations and Maintenance (O&M) contracts have been awarded and the required manuals and procedures are already in place. Pre-commissioning activities have gained significant momentum with supporting facilities like utilities, tankages and product evacuation facilities under commissioning. RPL is fully geared to sustain the pre-commissioning and commissioning activities on a fast track in the coming months.

 
 

Commenting on the project progress Shri. Mukesh D Ambani, Chairman of RPL said "I would like to compliment the RPL team on the remarkable progress made so far and the rapid but smooth transition to pre-commissioning. The team is fully geared and motivated to commission the refinery ahead of its initial schedule of December 2008.

CMP: Rs 70.50 Target Price: Rs 90 CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets maintains an 'outperform' on Jagran Prakashan, with a 12-month price target of Rs 90. "An economic slowdown notwithstanding, improving literacy and income levels in Hindi heartland imply that drivers for Jagran's growth are still in place. With a 35% ad rate hike in 2008, Jagran continues to narrow the gap with its more expensive English rivals," the foreign brokerage said in a client note, after a Q&A reply from the management. "Rising newsprint prices have made Jagran cautious on launching new editions in FY09 and its focus this year will be profitability. While management has budgeted for a minor increase in FY10 newsprint prices, it believes that prices are likely to peak in Q2FY08 and decline thereon," it added.
