The company had shut the PE lines and the cracker on October 17 due to maintenance. The three PE lines were down for around 10-12 days and the cracker was expected to remain offline for two weeks.
The complex is able to produce 1 million tons/year of PE and has a 1 million tons/year nameplate ethylene capacity.
