Indian Petrochemicals Corporation Limited (IPCL) has expanded cracker capacity at Gandhar from 300,000 tons to 365,000 tons, which can be debottlenecked upto 400,000 tons. Much of the capacity expansion will be based on use on imported propane, as per Economic Times. Gandhar gas cracker capacity expansion was made possible mainly due to expansion in gas processing capacity of its ethane and propane recovery unit (EPRU). The capacity of the EPRU has been expanded from 9 mmscmd to 11 mmscmd. However, this gas supply is not enough for the cracker and so IPCL has been importing propane for some time as additional feedstock for the cracker.
