Haldia Petrochemicals Ltd proposes to set up a new plant at its existing complex in Haldia, West Bengal, at an estimated cost of Rs 6,000 crore. The upcoming plant will manufacture new products.
The company has already designed five different modules and intends to prepare two more modules before the final approval of the board. The expansion will involve a balanced combination of manufacturing new petrochemical products and about 30 per cent capacity expansion of the existing plant. The company is set to hike the production level of its motor spirit to 20,000 tpa from 2008. This motor spirit is the only of its kind produced by any petrochemical company in India.
The existing complex consists of a naphtha cracker unit and associated plants that manufacture linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP) and chemicals.
HPL is a modern naphtha-based petrochemical complex located 125 km from Kolkata, at Haldia, and is jointly promoted by West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation, Chatterjee Petrochem (Mauritius) Co. Ltd and the Tata Group with an investment of $1.2 billion.
