The PET plant will use PTA produced by the PTA plant as feedstock, in addition to monoethylene glycol.

The forward integration of the two plants will reduce freight costs and provide consistent product quality due to in-house raw material linkages.

The PET facility, which is in line with prime minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India’ initiative, will enable further investments in downstream PET bottle manufacturing capacities.

In addition, construction on another PTA plant of similar capacity is currently underway at the same location.
