Larsen & Toubro's hydrocarbon onshore business has successfully secured a substantial order from Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), marking a significant development for India's petrochemical industry. The comprehensive contract covers the engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) of what is set to become India's largest LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene) and HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) Swing Unit. This facility is conceptualized as a flexible petrochemical plant, offering the capability to produce both critical types of polyethylene, widely utilized across diverse sectors from packaging to automotive components.The plant will incorporate two large-scale production trains, each boasting an impressive capacity of 575 KTPA (Kilo Tonnes Per Annum), which emphasizes the project's scale and its potential to substantially enhance India's domestic manufacturing capabilities for these essential polymers. The strategic site chosen for this major undertaking is Bina, located in Madhya Pradesh, a region already recognized as an important industrial center. This 'major' order not only showcases L&T's established expertise in executing large-scale industrial projects but also underscores BPCL's commitment to expanding its petrochemical portfolio. The initiative is expected to bolster India's self-sufficiency in polymer production, decrease reliance on imports, and stimulate economic growth and employment opportunities in the region, thereby reinforcing the country's position within the global petrochemical landscape.
