Reliance Petroleum Ltd (RPL) had already started distributing 16 lakh gpd of surplus water from its desalination plant meant for its 27 mtpa grassroot refinery complex at Jamnagar from Saturday. It is perhaps for the time that water from desalination plant was supplied for domestic use in the country.In case of RPL, it is matter of supplying water from its plant meant for the refinery already commissioned last year. Whereas, for Sanghi, it is like supplying water from the desalination plant while its cement project could not yet take off.

Giving this information to newspersons here, Gujarat's industries minister said the water supply by the Sanghis would begin next week. They might increase the supply later.
