Repairs have seen some delay at its smaller No. 1 ethylene plant that was shut in first week July, on account of rains. The No. 2 plant has a capacity to produce 1.035 mln tpa of ethylene, while the No. 1 unit produces 700,000 tons. Repairs at the No. 1 plant are expected to be complete in early October, subject to government approval for starting it after the accident.
