Govt. Planning to Present New Chemical Policy

Considering the feedstock requirement gaps, the country will urgently need at least five new integrated cracker plants, each with 1.5-million-ton capacity before 2025. That will work for at least 20-30% of value addition for the feedstock requirement and serve the increasing demand of petrochemical products in the country, said P Raghavendra Rao, Secretary, Department of Chemicals & Petrochemicals.
