Delivering our Promise of Reducing Import Dependence
We delivered the global-scale Phenol and Acetone plant within costs. The plant, commissioned during the year, is aligned with India’s journey to become self-reliant in chemical intermediates and reduce import dependence. With this, we not only delivered our promise of enabling India address its current demand for Phenol and Acetone, we also enabled the country earn long-term savings on imports.
We achieved a significant milestone as we kick-started commercial production at our mega Greenfield plant for Phenol and Acetone – within stipulated time and cost. Spread across an area of around 60 acres, the plant has been set up by its wholly-owned subsidiary Deepak Phenolics Limited. The plant is squarely aligned with the Government’s “Make in India” initiative. Local availability of Phenol and Acetone will boost production of derivatives and downstream intermediates, thus expanding the overall market size. The plant will also pave the way to enter various derivatives business, supported by its ability to manufacture cumene for captive consumption.
