State-run Indian Oil Corp (IndianOil) is to set up a paraxylene plant at its Haldia refinery as part of its plans to make the region a petrochemicals hub. A memorandum of understanding has been inked with the West Bengal government to explore the possibility of a petroleum, chemical and petrochemicals investment region (PCPIR) at Haldia.
IndianOil is already setting up projects worth Rs 500 billion ($12 billion), including a refinery-cum-petrochemicals complex at Paradip, a naphtha cracker with polymer units at the Panipat refinery, capacity augmentations at the Haldia and Panipat refineries and quality improvement projects in all facilities.
