Eco clearance formalities delay start of work on MRPL's polypropylene project

摘要

Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd. (MRPL) is yet to start the civil works for its project of setting up a polypropylene (PP) unit at site of its Mangalore Refinery. The delay has been caused due to the company having to re-apply for environmental clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF). The company had originally planned to set up the unit at the Mangalore Special Economic Zone, but due to certain hindrances like nonavailability of land caused by delay in evacuating the project affected families, the company decided to relocate the unit to the site of its refinery at Mangalore.
