India’s Adani Group, an infrastructure conglomerate with businesses in sectors including coal, oil and gas, ports and power, has announced a foray into petrochemicals.
The company has signed a joint venture with German giant BASF SE for the setting up of acrylics manufacturing units costing 160 billion rupees (US$ 2.25 billion). Constituting BASF’s largest investment in India to date, the factories will be set up at Adani-owned Mundra Port in Gujarat state, Business Standard reports.
The German company will hold the majority stake in the joint venture and a feasibility study will be completed by the end of 2019.
The products will predominantly cater to the Indian market and serve a wide range of local industries, including construction, automotive and coatings. Currently many of the products required by these industries are imported.
BASF plans to make the Mundra plant CO2-neutral, with power supplied through 100% renewable energy. It also plans to co-invest as a minority partner in a wind and solar park.
The new project will pit Adani against Reliance Industries, owned by India’s richest man Mukesh Ambani. Reliance is a major player in the oil refining and petrochemicals sectors. It operates two refineries with a total capacity of over 68 million tonnes and has set up a huge petrochemical complex in Jamnagar, also in Gujarat state.
According to ratings agency CRISIL, India’s domestic demand for petrochemicals is expected to grow at a compounded annual rate of 8-9% through 2022-2023.

continuously i used to read smaller content that also clear
their motive, and that is also happening with this post which I am reading now.
Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i
was just curious if you get a lot of spam remarks?
If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can advise?
I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any help is
very much appreciated.
Way cool! Some very valid points! I appreciate you penning this post and the rest of the site is very good.
I have been exploring for a bit for any high-quality articles or blog posts
in this kind of space . Exploring in Yahoo I ultimately stumbled upon this web site.
Studying this info So i am satisfied to show that I have a very just right uncanny feeling I came upon just what I needed.
I most definitely will make sure to don?t omit this web site and
give it a glance regularly.
Everything published made a lot of sense. But, think about this, what if you added
a little content? I am not suggesting your content is
not good., but suppose you added a title to maybe
grab a person’s attention? I mean India’s Adani Group partners with
BASF in petrochems foray – Asia Times is a little boring.
You should look at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create news
titles to grab viewers to open the links. You might add a video or a related
pic or two to grab people excited about what you’ve got to say.
In my opinion, it could bring your blog a little livelier.
