Reliance Industries Ltd.

Reliance Industries (RIL) has temporarily shut-down its PTA and PET plants located at Dahej, Bharuch in state of Gujarat. This step has been taken owing to shortage of the right quality of industrial water at Dahej complex due to lower release of dam water and the significantly increased salinity of water supply.

RIL has 2.3 MMTPA of PTA capacity and 650 KTPA of PET capacity at its Dahej manufacturing complex. RIL has initiated alternative arrangements for water and is closely monitoring the situation. It has also used the current situation to carry out planned maintenance and reliability activities. It is in a state of readiness to resume full supplies as soon as the water availability and water quality issues are resolved. The company is ensuring a continued supply of PTA to the domestic market from its Hazira and Patalganga manufacturing complexes.

Reliance Industries has businesses across India, engaged in energy, petrochemicals, textiles, natural resources, retail and telecommunications.
