Andhra Petrochemicals has commenced production from its plant located at Visakhapatnam with effect from October 14, 2013. The plant has been shut-down from September 04, 2013 due to non-supply of major raw material Propylene from its supplier Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL).
Andhra Petrochemicals was established with a capacity to produce 30,000 MTPA of Oxo Alcohols at Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The Plant has recently undergone an Optimization & Modernization Scheme to increase the capacity to 73,000 MTPA.
