2nd PLANT SHUTDOWNS & TURNAROUNDS SUMMIT 2025
Successful plant shutdowns, turnarounds, and outages are critical for maintaining operational excellence, safety, and regulatory compliance in India's growing industrial sector. With aging infrastructure, complex technologies, and rising production demands, disciplined planning and execution of STOs are essential to minimize risks and prevent costly unplanned downtime. Effective turnarounds rely on interdepartmental coordination, clear scope finalization, resource optimization, and adherence to safety protocols. Integrating digital tools for planning, scheduling, and tracking progress enhances efficiency and ensures timely completion. By focusing on asset integrity, workforce safety, and operational readiness, industries can achieve seamless shutdowns that support uninterrupted production and long-term reliability.
The 2nd Annual Plant Shutdowns & Turnarounds Summit 2025 will bring together leading industry experts from the process industries to explore the latest strategies, innovations, and challenges in shutdown, turnaround, and outage (STO) management.
