Weather played spoilsport as Mangalore was to host Prime Minister's visit for laying the foundation stone of the Rs. 4,900 Crore ONGC Petrochemicals Complex there on 23rd June 2006.
|
|
The Prime Minister's plane hovered over the coastal town for over an hour before being diverted back, due to poor visibility unsuitable for landing.
|
|
Announcing the deferment of the foundation-stone laying, C&MD of ONGC Mr. R S Sharma said that the Prime Minister will come back later for the event.
|
|
ONGC Petrochemicals Complex is being built over 500 acres of land in Managalore Special Economic Zone, to feed on the 2 million metric tonnes per annum (mmtpa) of Heavy Naphtha from MRPL to deliver 0.95 mmtpa of Paraxylene and 0.15 mmtpa of Benzene, both of which are in good demand.
