Reliance Industries restarts Dahej acid plants
Mumbai: Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) on Friday said it has restarted its purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plants at Dahej and is ramping up production to full capacity.
RIL has a total PTA capacity of 4.2 million tonnes per year. In India, the current PTA capacity, including that of RIL, is 6 million tonnes. Another 1.2 million tonnes of PTA capacity will be added in the current year itself.
However, the total PTA demand in India is around 5 million tonnes. The surplus PTA is being exported as the country has sufficient PTA to meet the requirements of its polyester industry.
