Mumbai, 3rd June 2016

MEDIA STATEMENT
Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has restarted its purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plants,
and is ramping up production to full capacity at Dahej. The PTA plants had been shut for a
brief period owing to increased water salinity.

RIL ensured PTA supplies to downstream customers from its Hazira and Patalganga
plants during the brief shutdown at Dahej. Now, the customers will be getting PTA from all
three locations.
RIL has a total PTA capacity of 4.2 million tonnes per year. In India, the current total PTA
capacity, including that of RIL, is 6 million tonnes. Another 1.2 million tonnes of PTA
capacity will be added in the current year itself. However, the total PTA demand in India is
around 5 million tonnes. Therefore, the surplus PTA is being exported as India has
sufficient PTA to meet the requirements of its polyester industry. Spokesperson,
