Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) has put on hold a planned specialty petrochemicals plant for producing polyols at its Kochi refinery as the state-run firm prefer to wait for the outcome of the privatisation process currently underway before proceeding on the ₹11,130 crore project.
The project is to be built on 170 acres of land adjoining the refinery that was acquired by BPCL from FACT Ltd, also a central PSU. It was put in motion in January 2019.
But, after completing land levelling work for erecting the plant, BPCL halted the construction of a road underpass to link the project site with the refinery, sources in Kochi refinery said.
