ONGC plans to invest $13 billion to expand petrochemicals capacity expansion
The investment is part of the government's push to make India a major global petrochemical hub.
India's state-run oil and gas company, Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC), plans to invest Rs one lakh crore ($13 billion) by 2030 to expand its petrochemicals manufacturing capacity.
ONGC's subsidiary, Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd, and joint venture ONGC Petro Additions Ltd (OPaL) will implement the plans, which involve setting up two mega projects on the east and west coasts of India to develop new facilities that will produce chemicals directly from crude.

The investment is part of the government's push to make India a major global petrochemical hub.
However, ONGC will need to address the reduction in the supply of cheap domestic natural gas and the skewed capital structure of ONGC Petro Additions, which has amassed a high level of debt on a small equity base.
