The project which was inaugurated by President on December 28, 2011 has an investment value of US$1.4 bln.
The project is expected to increase gasoline production by 1.9 mln kiloliters per year. It increases the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) production as much as 352,000 tpa and will produce "propylene" products up to 142,000 tpa.
