Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC)'s Rs 1100 crore plant at Dahej to extract C2-C3 from natural gas is on track and is to come onstream as planned by end of the year. Output will used by Reliance Industries Ltd's (RIL) until its downstream plant comes on stream in 2012. C2-C3 (ethane, propane) will be extracted from the rich-gas Petronet imports in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG) at Dahej in Gujarat from Qatar. These compounds would then be fed into a Rs 13,600 crore petrochemical plant to manufacture polymers. This complex would be integrated with ONGC's C2-C3 plant which is currently under execution at Dahej and Naphtha as feedstock from ONGC's operational units at Hazira and Uran.
The complex comprises 1.1 mln tpa of ethylene capacity dual feed cracker, along with associated units and polymer plants, to manufacture HDPE, LLDPE, PP and Styrene Butadiene Rubber.
