NEW DELHI, Jan 10 (Reuters) - India's Reliance Industries
Ltd  RELI.NS , operator of the world's biggest refining complex
at Jamnagar in western Gujarat, will shut one of its crude
refining units from Jan. 16 for about 4 weeks for maintenance.
    The company said in a statement on Thursday that it also
plans to shut a coker unit at the 660,000 barrel-per-day (bpd)
plant, which is sited next to a 704,000 bpd export-focused
refinery.
    Reliance has two equal-size crude distillation units at the
refinery, which mainly supplies refined fuels for local markets.
    "The other crude distillation and secondary processing units
are expected to operate normally," it said in a statement.
