Indian Oil Corporation’s (IOC) board has accorded approval for implementation of Poly-Butadiene Rubber (PBR) Project at the company’s Naphtha Cracker Complex at Panipat, Haryana at an estimated investment of Rs 1459 crore which is expected to be operational by 2025.
The plant will have a PBR production capacity of 60,000 tonnes per annum based on state-of-the-art technology provided by Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company which is also the leading global manufacturer of automotive tyres. Butadiene is the primary raw material for the production of PBR which shall be available from existing Naphtha Cracker Complex of the Company.
The implementation of the Project would reduce nation's import dependency for PBR, thereby, aiding to Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India vision for the nation. With the commissioning of this project, the Petrochemical Intensity Index of Panipat Refinery & Petrochemical Complex will increase from 15.9% to 18.05% along-with other upcoming projects.
IOC is the largest enterprise in the country and the foremost ranked Fortune Global 500 Company in India and has presence in the complete hydrocarbon value chain from downstream refining & marketing, pipeline transportation, Petrochemicals, E&P and Gas Marketing.
