Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) successfully commissioned the first phase of para-xylene (PX) plant at Jamnagar (Gujarat) on December 28, 2016.

The plant with capacity of 2.2 MMTPA is built with crystallisation technology from BP which is highly energy efficient and environment friendly. With the commissioning of this plant, RIL’s PX capacity will more than double from 2 MMTPA to 4.2 MMTPA. On commissioning of entire para-xylene capacity, RIL will be the world’s second largest PX producer with 9 percent of global PX capacity and 11 percent share of global production.

The new para-xylene capacity will add value to the output from refineries
