Reliance Industries (RIL) has successful commissioned new Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) plant at Dahej, Gujarat. The plant with a capacity of 1150 KTA is built with Invista technology and this state-of-the-art facility is highly energy efficient and environment friendly. With the commissioning of this plant, Reliance’s total PTA capacity will increase to 3.2 MMTPA and global capacity share to 4%.
Paraxylene, the key feedstock for the PTA plant is sourced from Reliance's Jamnagar refinery. The PTA plant is also forward integrated with a 650 KTA PET plant in the same complex. The integrated operation will help in lower operating cost and capture full chain margins. Another PTA plant of similar capacity is under construction at the same location. With these capacities, Reliance will be placed among the top five PTA manufacturers globally.
