Background: PCPIR
PCPIRs would reap the benefits of co-sitting, networking and greater efficiency
through the use of common infrastructure & support services.
Paradip Refinery Complex will serve feedstocks to the downstream Petrochemicals &
Chemicals industries in PCPIR-Paradip.

Poly Propylene Project at Paradip
700 KTA Polypropylene (PP) plant envisaged based on Propylene from FCCU LPG
Injection Molding Products: Furniture, House wares, Material Handling Crates, etc.
Fiber & Filament: Shopping Bags, Straps & Ropes, medical disposable
Post implementation of PP unit at Paradip, Offgas from FCC unit will have a potential of
220 KTA ethylene.
Feasibility of various ethylene derivatives have been examined:

Ethylene Glycol: Opportunities for downstream unit at
PCPIR, Paradip
Mono ethylene glycol is the main ingredients for Polyesters chips fibers, PET bottle grade
chips, PET film grade chips and polyester industrial yarn.
The non polyester applications of ethylene Glycols are in antifreeze, coolants, paint
formulations, wire enamels, acrylic binders, alkyed resins, other chemicals etc.
Currently, Eastern region is not having Ethylene Glycol capacity. Consumption of
ethylene glycols is the lowest in eastern region.
PX-PTA Complex at Paradip
Feasibility study of Paraxylene: 1200 KTA and Purified terepthalic Acid (PTA) : 1200 KTA
is in progress.
Continuous catalytic reforming unit (CCRU), front end of PX complex is already under
installation at Paradip.
PTA is the feedstock for manufacturing of Polyesters chips fibers, PET bottle grade
chips, PET film grade chips and polyester industrial yarn.
With the availability of feedstocks of PTA & MEG at Paradip, an opportunity exists for
setting up polyester plants and develop textile hubs in PCPIR.
Estimated capex : USD 1.5 Billion
Expected completion : 2020

Polyester & Textile Hub
With availability of MEG & PTA at Paradip, potential exists for development of polyester
lines & textile hubs.
Further downstream industry till finished fabric can mushroom in the form of textile
weaving, knitting & processing industry.
Reliable power, infrastructure & other incentives would help in developing downstream
industry.

Challenges in Developing Petrochemicals units at
Paradip:
The major constraints in developing Petrochemical projects are:
High Capex.
High volatility in international prices with uncertainty & low margins.
PCPIR would require enabling factors for its establishment . The enabling factors are:
Good Infrastructure
Land

To summarise …..
Based on experience of IPCL, & other PC complexes, PCPIR would be major growth
enabler for chemical industry.
International hubs (Jurong, Al Jubail, Yanbu, Antwerp etc) are success stories.
In the changing Petchem scenario wrt feedstock / fuel costs, and increased regional
competition, it is imperative to leverage strengths.
Pursuing refinery – Petchem integration would be way forward for anchor investors.
Based on preliminary interaction, downstream industry players expect reliable power,
common infrastructure, suitable incentives schemes to encourage them to put up
facilities in the Eastern Region.
Govt support is essential for growth of PCPIR. To facilitate the Investment Govt may
consider support by way of suitable financial/tax incentives.
