Mumbai/India — To maximize production of petrochemicals at the Jamnagar refinery and gasification plants, Reliance Industries announced plans to leverage the site's operations. According to Chemical Week, the company is proposing to develop a total area of 2,000 acres adjacent to its world-scale facilities to construct a COTC complex.

Reliance intends to build COTC units including a multi-feed steam cracker and multi-zone catalytic cracking (MCC) unit. The company also plans to convert the site's existing fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit to a high-severity FCC (HSFCC) or Petro FCC unit, to maximize ethylene and propylene yields.
