Following complaints of liquefied petroleum gas-like odour from residents of Tiruvottiyur, the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) has directed the Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (CPCL) to reduce its production to 75% of its capacity.
CPCL is Tamil Nadu’s only crude oil refinery and supplies products among petrol, diesel, kerosene, naphtha, furnace oil, cooking gas, bitumen and wax.
