| News | September
26, 2006 - Chlor-alkali producer Grasim Industries Limited said on Tuesday
that its chemical plants will continue to operate at 50% until the end of
2006 or January 2007 due to the continued absence of in-house power at Nagda
in Madhya Pradesh State. On 21 July, Grasim stated that its chlor-alkali
and downstream chemical plants would cut their production by 50% for one
month while the company carried out major repairs to its power plant. This
job is now likely to be completed in three to four months time, thus keeping
chemicals output to 50%. The chlor-alkali plant supplies about 80% of its
caustic soda to the company’s viscose staple fibre (VSF) facility at the
same site and to two other locations. It sells the other 20% of its 190,800
tonnes/year caustic soda capacity to the general market. The other chemical
division plants are: a 210,370 tonnes/year sulphuric acid plant, a 46,798
tonnes/year carbon disulphide plant, a 45,000 tonnes/year stable bleaching
powder plant, a 16 500 tonnes/year chloro-sulphuric acid plant and a 13,860
tonnes/year poly aluminium chloride plant. |
