The CEO of the company explain to me the past history when Indian oil got a deeper loss in 2009, the Jaipur fire. Many imported machinery and fuel products got burned in a quick session. Due to there being no ERU (Emergency Response Unit), Authorities were unable to handle this massive tragedy. The Indian government sent a team to analyze the root cause and, how to rid of it. The committee submit the report and recommend to built an ERU near the Oil hubs to reduce the timing and save natural resources as well as imported machinery.
