Initiative: Pakistan to build country’s first Naphtha Cracker Complex

[Kabira]

LAHORE:

In an unprecedented development to boost the economy, Pakistan is set to build the country’s first ever Naphtha Cracker Complex (NCC), a state-of-the-art “grand infrastructure” to change petrochemical raw substances into value-added products ranging from construction, home décor, appliances, furniture, medical care, paints, cleaning stuff and top of the line military gadgets.

The absence of a naphtha cracker complex means Pakistan has to buy all petrochemical feedstock from international market that take heavy toll on import bill and prices of long range of items.

India has nine naphtha cracker complexes providing it tremendous mileage in industrial and economic progress.

The creation of this complex will revolutionise the industrial landscape.

The game-changing development came after an 18-member delegation of Pakistan Chemical Manufacturing Association (PCMA) met recently with Federal Minister for Planning, Development and Reforms in his office, Islamabad where NCC was announced to be built to catalyse the economic progress.

Acknowledging NCC as a strategic need, Minister suggested PCMA to prepare feasibility report and viable business plan in consultation with market experts and technologists to help ministry to make it a reality.

NCC will have an impactful role in all industrial zones to be placed along the route of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), it was said at the meeting.

LAHORE: In an unprecedented development to boost economy, Pakistan is all set to build country's first-ever NAPHTHA Cracker Complex (NCC), a state-of-the-art infrastructure to change petrochemical raw substances into value-added products ranging from construction, home décor, appliances, furniture, medical care, paints, cleaning stuff and top of them military gadgets.

As of now there is no naphtha cracker complex in Pakistan, while India has nine such complexes providing it a tremendous mileage in industrial and economic progress. At present, Pakistan has to buy all petrochemical feedstock from international market that take heavy toll on import bill and prices of long range of items used by chemical industry, mainstay of trade and manufacturing business and people in their daily routine. The naphtha cracker complex will revolutionise industrial landscape and life of the common man simultaneously.

The game-changing development came after 18-member delegation of the Pakistan Chemical Manufacturing Association (PCMA) met recently with Minister for Planning, Development and Reforms in his office, Islamabad where it was announced to build a naphtha cracker complex to catalyse economic progress.

Acknowledging the naphtha cracker complex as a strategic need, the minister suggested the PCMA to prepare a feasibility report and viable business plan in consultation with market experts and technologists to help ministry make it a reality.

It was shared in the meeting that the cracker would have a great impact on all industrial zones to be set up along the route of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

To rejuvenate the chemical industry, the meeting also acknowledged the efforts of the PCMA delegation, which recently visited China to materialise 33 projects and a joint venture with the Chinese chemical giants.

The meeting said that the Planning Commission would soon summon a roundtable to promote industry-academia linkages in creating 'Knowledge Economy' by involving the PCMA and all the heads of chemical/ chemistry departments of major universities, including HEC, from February 15 to February 20. It was also decided that the PCMA would carve out a 10-year plan as a pragmatic roadmap for chemical industry.

Present at the meeting were PCMA Vice Chairman Abrar Ahmad, Secretary General Iqbal Khawaja, senior member Pervez A Khan, Pharmagen Managing Director Pervez Sufi, Ittehad Chemicals CEO Ghulam Mustafa and Dr Farrukh Mukhtar.

I like this guy ahsan iqbal

Good initiative but I see that PMLN's attempt to list few projects in the list, so they could claim they did a "marvelous job" during their tenure.

Also most development projects are initiated near the election to earn browning points for them. They do not have welfare of people or development of country in mind. So even though "thank you for the effort" but "too little too late and for your own personal gains". Your story is not sold.

Main issue is surplus natpha being produced by Attock refinery which forced government to extend their tenure for producing low octane gasoline until a solution for surplus naptha could be found...

Share your mind mate and tell the world what positives you have against all these negatives

• Nawaz supporting RAW operations in Pakistan through its sugar mills
• Corrupt and lyer of 3rd degree
• Incapable of running the country, there is not a single performing institution except military.
• Selling National Assets PIA, Pakistan Steel, Railways and many more because the MF doesn't have capacity to run anything
• He is incapable to stand in the media, before journalists or international forums. Nawaz was just inivted to speak at a forum in doves and he refused, because MF cannot speak before anybody.
• Nawaz HAS NOT STOOD a single question answer session before National Assembly. Not a single ONE in 3.5 years because he lacks capacity
• Our National Debt is continuously on the rise. Nawaz has taken more intentional debt than Zardi or previous 10 years combined.
• He has zero policy towards India, zero policy towards Iran, zero policy towards Afghanistan, zero policy towards Arab worlds.
• He had the biggest opportunity in 20 years in Kashmir to internationalise it and what is the result?

Now show the world, which shining achievements you have in your list to support this baboon. Pakistanis are all wanting to listen to your reasoning and "by Pakistani standards" bull$hit.

Actually first cracker complex was about to be build in 2006-07 like many other things but then PPP and terrorism came in the way. Pakistan have lost decade of industrialisation but things are improving because of CPEC.

Also like advances in CPEC. In China they are talking about Punjab speed.

Also like significant work in the power sector.

Also like inviting European car manufacturers to create more healthy competition in the local industry.

And so much more.

I hate NS government for making us a laughing stock due to abysmal foreign policy, but I give credit where credit is due.

U mean it's great in contrast to the likes of Zardari? That's not saying much. It's easy looking good after PPP got done having its way with the country. It doesn't justify the corruption that still exists. Pakistanis shouldn't settle for "andhon mein kana raja". Instead make ur vote count. During every election give a chance to better ppl.

imran khan is a moron and given access to state coffers his ideal government would look like dozens of deserted hospitals and school..you need employment first to provide all services including health and education...free education and no jobs leads to brain drain...free health and no work leads to useless population explosion..let people find work by building power plants, transports, connectivity and then they can pay for all services such as education and health..I am against a socialist welfare state as it is a waste of tax payer money to feed the undeserving..
