In order to satisfy increasing demand of natural gas, Government has decided to set up petrochemical complex at Ashuganj.

This complex will separate ethane and propane from natural gas to produce ethylene and propylene.

A committee of senior officials is already constituted for providing recommendations on petrochemical complex.

After submission of report by the committee, energy division will discuss various options with experts for setting up complex soon.

In past couple of years, consumption of gas has increased due to over-dependency on natural gas.

World's largest petrochemical complex is situated in Jamnagar, Gujarat, India.

In Gujarat, production capacity of polypropylene and paraxylene is rapidly increasing.
