This will enable it to serve both the local demand and also act as an export refinery.In the desire to make Jamnagar Refinery the world's largest petrochemicals facility, Reliance has plans to expand further with the addition of an ethylene cracker with associated downstream polymer units. A new aromatics unit is also in the cards.

Criticism

The refinery and Reliance Industries have both come under criticism because it is located extremely close to the border with Pakistan. This places India's biggest and most crucial refinery in direct risk of attack if there is ever a war.
