12. Pata Petrochemical Project

GAIL’s Petrochemical Complex at Pata in Auraiya District of Uttar Pradesh, with a production capacity of 260,000 TPA of Polyethylenes (LLDPE and HDPE) and 10,000 TPA of Butene-1, consists of a Gas Sweetening Unit, Gas Cracker and two downstream polyethylene plants: Dedicated HDPE plant of 100,000-TPA capacity licensed by Mitsui, Japan and LLDPE/HDPE (Swing plant) of 160,000 TPA capacity licensed by Nova Chemicals, Canada.

Project Expansion

The complex is being expanded in two stages. In the first stage the LLDPE/HDPE (Swing plant) is being de-bottlenecked to increase its capacity from 160,000 TPA to 210,000 TPA at a cost of Rs 76.27 crore.
