Joint Feasibility Study for chemical complex completed, project put on hold due to COVID-19

In India, as part of a Memorandum of Understanding, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, Adani Group, BASF SE, Germany and Borealis AG, completed a Joint Feasibility Study for a chemical complex that comprised of a propane dehydrogenation plant, a polypropylene production and an acrylics value chain complex, but the project has been put on hold due to the pandemic.

The planned location at Adani’s Mundra site would enable access to a world-class port and renewable energy supply.

The global economic uncertainties caused by the pandemic have led the Partners to review the timing for undertaking this investment. Despite all attempts to optimize the scope and the configuration, the project has been put on hold.

The Partners remain convinced about the strong fundamentals represented by the Indian market and agreed to periodically explore market conditions and discuss any opportunity that may arise over time.
