CHAPTER - 4
PETROLEUM, CHEMICAL AND PETROCHEMICAL
INVESTMENT REGIONS (PCPIRs)
Background
4.1 Four Petroleum, Chemical and Petrochemical Investment Regions (PCPIRs) are being
implemented in the States of Andhra Pradesh (Vishakhapatnam), Gujarat (Dahej), Odisha
(Paradeep) and Tamil Nadu (Cuddalore and Nagapa nam) to promote investment and industrial
development in these sectors under the PCPIR Policy, 2007.

4.2 The PCPIRs are conceptualized in a cluster approach to promote Petroleum, Chemical and
Petrochemical sectors in an integrated and environment friendly manner on a large scale.
Government of India formulated the PCPIR policy in April, 2007 to give a boost to this sector.

4.3 Each PCPIR is a specifically delineated investment region having an area of about 250 sq. km (with
around 40% of the area earmarked for processing ac vi es). It is not mandatory for the State
Government concerned to acquire the en re area comprising the PCPIR, but they have to no fy
the area under the relevant area planning and zoning law.

4.4 The concerned State Governments carry out Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and lead the
project implementa on. Government of India ensures the availability of external physical
infrastructure linkages to the PCPIR including connec vity through Railways, Roads, Ports,
Airports and Telecom etc. through Public Private Partnership projects to the extent possible. The
Central Government also provides necessary funding to make such projects viable, in the form of
Viability Gap Funding (VGF), as well as budget support for crea on of these linkages wherever
required.

4.5 The policy provides that each PCPIR would have a refinery / petrochemical feedstock company as
an Anchor Tenant.

4.6 The State Government no fies a nodal Department or agency for coordina ng the linkages. A
Management Body cons tuted by the State Government for each PCPIR, under relevant
legisla on, is responsible for the development and management of the PCPIR.

4.7 Once fully established, these four PCPIRs are expected to a ract investment of around Rs. 7.63
lakh Crore. As per data available from State Governments, investments worth Rs. 2.27 lakh Crore
(approximately) have been made / commi ed in these regions. The four PCPIRs are expected to
generate employment for around 33.83 lakh persons. Around 4.21 lakh persons have been
employed in direct and indirect ac vi es related to PCPIRs.

4.8 The status of implementa on and execu on of these projects is as follows:

the First State Party to secure the dis nc on of chemical weapon free state Party by destruc ng all
its stockpile of its chemical weapons amongst all State Par es of the Conven on.

6.2 The Department of Chemicals & Petrochemicals is the administra ve Department for CWC Act,
2000. Chemical Weapons Conven on Act, 2000 is in force in the country w.e.f. 1st July 2005. The
Na onal Authority for Chemical Weapons Conven on (NACWC) has been set up as an office of the
Cabinet Secretariat, Government of India in 1997 to fulfil, on behalf of the Government of India,
the obliga ons under the Chemical Weapons Conven on and to act as the na onal focal point for
effec ve liaison with the Organiza on for the Prohibi on of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and other
State Par es on ma ers rela ng to the Conven on.
6.3 Three Schedules of the chemicals which have been annexed to the Conven on are required to be
declared and are given as follows:
• Schedule-1 Chemicals (16 Chemicals) (i.e. Chemical Weapons);

• Schedule-2 Chemicals (14 Chemicals) (i.e. precursors to Chemical Weapons);

• Schedule-3 Chemicals (17 Chemicals) (i.e. dual use chemicals).

Ro erdam Conven on

6.4 Ro erdam Conven on on Prior Informed Consent Procedures (PIC) that entered into force on
24th February, 2004, is a legally binding instrument, which was adopted on 10th September 1998
by a Conference of Plenipoten aries in Ro erdam. India acceded to the Conven on on
24.05.2006.

6.5 The Conven on seeks to promote shared responsibility and coopera ve efforts among state
par es in the interna onal trade of certain hazardous chemicals in order to protect human health
and the environment from poten al harm. It also seeks to contribute to the environmentally
sound use of these hazardous chemicals by facilita ng informa on exchange about their
characteris cs, providing for a na onal decision making process on their import and export, and
by dissemina ng these decisions to the Par es.

6.6 Each Party is required to designate a Na onal Authority for performing the administra ve

24
 Annual Report 2022-23

func ons required under the Conven on. Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals is the
Designated Na onal Authority (DNA) for industrial chemicals and Department of Agriculture and
Farmer’s Welfare is the DNA for pes cides.

6.7 There are a total of 54 chemicals listed in Annexure-III, 35 pes cides (including 3 severely
hazardous pes cide formula ons), 18 industrial chemicals, and 1 chemical in both the pes cide
and the industrial chemical categories (list is enclosed as Annexure-III). The par es are required
to communicate their import policy for these chemicals to the PIC Secretariat. The expor ng Party
has to provide the export no fica on to the impor ng Party in respect of banned or severely
restricted chemicals in the impor ng country. The export no fica ons received from other Par es
for industrial chemicals are examined by Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, being the
DNA for industrial chemicals, and acknowledgment/ reply is sent to the DNA of the expor ng
country. In the year 2022 Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals has processed nearly 125
export no fica ons received under Ro erdam Conven on.

Stockholm Conven on
6.8 The Stockholm Conven on, ra fied by India on 13.01.2006, is a global treaty to protect human
health and environment from Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). POPs are chemicals that
remain intact in the environment for long periods, become widely distributed geographically,
accumulate in the fa y ssue of living organisms and are toxic to human beings and wildlife. POPs
travel globally and can cause damage wherever they travel. The Conven on that entered into
force on 17th May, 2004, lays down that in its implementa on, Governments will take measures to
eliminate or reduce the release of POPs into the environment.

6.9 The Stockholm Conven on seeks the elimina on or restric on of produc on and use of all
inten onally produced POPs (industrial chemicals and pes cides). The Conven on also seeks the
con nuing minimiza on and wherever feasible, ul mate elimina on of the releases of
uninten onally produced POPs such as dioxins and furans. At present, 35 chemicals are covered
under the Stockholm Conven on, of which use of DDT is restricted in India. Use of DDT is banned
for agricultural purposes; it is produced in a restricted manner for use in vector control only, as
India has obtained exemp on for use of DDT for vector control.

6.10 Stockpiles and wastes containing POPs must be managed and disposed of in a safe, efficient and
environmentally sound manner, taking into account interna onal rules, standards and guidelines.
Each country is required to develop a plan for implemen ng its obliga ons under the Conven on.
A Global Environment Facility (GEF) has been set up as an interim financial mechanism, to assist
the developing countries in implementa on of the Conven on.

6.11 For the chemicals under review of Stockholm Conven on, this Department put forwards its stand
to Ministry of Environment & Climate Change for further stand in Conven on.

claiming enhanced compensa on from UCC and/or successor companies of UCC, by seeking a
review of the Court’s earlier judgment of 1989, se ling the compensa on amount at US $470
million. The compensa on claimed in the Cura ve Pe on is due to the difference between the
number of cases assumed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court at the me of passing the orders for
se lement in 1989 and the actual number of cases awarded by the Office of the Welfare
Commissioner, Bhopal Gas vic m, Bhopal. The pe on also claims reimbursement of costs
incurred by the Government of India for various rehabilita on measures for vic ms and the
amount required for environmental remedia on. The ma er is sub-judice. The case was listed on

IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF CHEMICALS & PETROCHEMICALS
& TRADE INTELLIGENCE
Mandatory BIS Standards for Chemicals & Petrochemicals

8.1 Chemicals & Petrochemicals produced domes cally and imported may contain impuri es & may
be hazardous to human health, safety & environment. These products while in use may not be
mee ng technical characteris cs prescribed in the BIS Standards, presently being voluntary in
nature for most of the products. It is, therefore, of paramount importance to improve quality of
Chemicals/Petrochemicals produced in the country as well as to monitor the imported chemicals.
With this objec ve, the Department ini ated an exercise to make the Standards of
Chemicals/Petrochemicals as mandatory to ensure that both the importers of such Chemicals to
the country and domes c manufacturers meet the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) quality
parameters. Such Chemicals/Petrochemicals shall bear the Standard Mark under a license to be
obtained from BIS. This mechanism shall help in improving quality of these products as some
countries may be dumping poor quality and spurious Chemicals/Petrochemicals into the country,
which may not meet the quality parameters laid down by BIS Standards as at present.

8.2 Hence, this Department has ini ated steps to make Standards as mandatory for major
Chemicals/Petrochemicals, under Sec on 16 of the Bureau of Indian Standard Act, 2016 in the
public interest or for:

(i) Protec on of human, animal or plant health

(ii) Safety of the environment

(iii) Preven on of unfair trade prac ces
(iv) Protec on of Na onal Security

8.3 With these measures, manufacturers and importers have to comply with BIS (Conformity
Assessment) Regula ons, 2018. Any person who contravenes the provisions of this Order is
punished under the provisions of sec on 29 of the BIS Act, 2016. As per the provisions of
mandatory Standards, the manufacturers of above Chemicals must conform to BIS Standards and
bear the Standard Mark under license from BIS. This includes any imported material, for which the
exporter based on foreign country has to apply for BIS license under Foreign Manufacturers
Cer fica on Scheme (FMCS).

8.4 Therefore, Department Chemicals & Petrochemicals has no fied 61 Quality Control Orders
(QCOs) (i.e. 33 for Chemicals and 28 for Petrochemicals) so far to make BIS Standards as
mandatory under Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016.

CHAPTER – 9
PUBLIC SECTOR UNDERTAKINGS
HINDUSTAN ORGANIC CHEMCIALS LIMITED (HOCL)
9.1 Hindustan Organic Chemicals Limited (HOCL) was incorporated on 12th December, 1960 as a
Government company with the objec ve of se ng up manufacturing capaci es for chemicals /
intermediates required for produc on of dyes, dyes–intermediates, rubber chemicals, pes cides,
drugs and pharmaceu cals, laminates, etc. The company had two manufacturing units located at
Rasayani (Maharashtra) and at Kochi (Kerala). The Rasayani unit (Chemical Complex) started
produc on from 1970-71 and the Kochi Unit (Phenol Complex) commenced produc on from
1987-88. The Kochi unit has plants to manufacture Phenol, Acetone and Hydrogen Peroxide. A er
the implementa on of restructuring plan for HOCL that was approved by the Government of India
on 17.05.2017, Rasayani unit has been closed down except the strategically important
Concentrated Nitric Acid (CNA)/ Di-nitrogen Tetroxide (N2O4) plant which has been transferred to
the Department of Space/ISRO. The CNA/ N2O4 plant is the only facility for produc on of N2O4 in
India which is used exclusively by ISRO in its rocket launching programme. HOCL has a subsidiary
company, namely Hindustan Fluorocarbons Limited (HFL), located at Rudraram, Telangana, details
regarding which are given further in this chapter.
9.2 HOCL’s authorised and paid up share capital is Rs.370 crore and Rs.337.27 crore [comprising of
Rs.67.27 crore equity and Rs.270 crore preference shares] respec vely. Govt. of India holds
58.78% of the equity of the company and the preference shares in full. HOCL is listed on the
Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

9.3 Following globaliza on and liberalisa on of the Indian economy in the early 1990’s resul ng in
compe on from interna onal players, HOCL incurred losses for the first me in 1997-98. Due to
con nued losses leading to nega ve net worth by 2003-04, the company was referred to erstwhile
Board for Industrial & Financial Reconstruc on (BIFR) in February, 2005. Based on the
recommenda ons of Board for Reconstruc on of Public Sector Enterprises (BRPSE), Govt.
approved a revival package for the company in 2006.

9.4 However, the company again suffered losses in 2008-09 and 2009-10 mainly due to recessionary
trend in the market as an effect of global meltdown. Though it earned profit during 2010-11, the
situa on worsened therea er with losses during 2011-12 and 2012-13 mainly due to withdrawal
of an -dumping du es on its main products phenol and acetone. In order to enable the company
to de over its liquidity problems, the Govt. on 1st August, 2013 approved postponement of
redemp on of Rs.270 crore preference shares issued to the Govt. of India (date of allotment

products at that me caused severe crash in the prices of Phenol and Acetone and the company
faced difficul es in selling the products at profitable rates and genera ng adequate working
capital. This led to frequent shu ng down of opera ons at both Kochi and Rasayani units thereby
further aggrava ng the financial crisis of HOCL. Due to con nuous losses and shortage of working
capital, the company was not able to pay regular salary and statutory dues to the employees
during 2015 to 2017. Following implementa on of restructuring plan for HOCL, the plant
opera ons of Rasayani unit have been closed down. The Phenol/Acetone plant at Kochi unit

9.15 HFL started making losses from its incep on in 1987-88 resul ng in erosion of its net worth and
reference to erstwhile BIFR in 1994. A rehabilita on package for HFL under the opera ng, agency
M/s IDBI was approved by BIFR on 03.12.2007. Total cost of rehabilita on package was Rs.19.28

capacity and old technology. For the calendar year 2020, HCFC-22 produc on quota of only 283
MT was allo ed by Minister of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEFC) as per the
requirements of Montreal Protocol, with the reduced HCFC-22 quota in 2020, HFL’s opera ons
would have become unsustainable and it would have been forced to shut down the plant a er
April-May, 2020.

• GoI interest free loan of Rs.77.20 crore to be given to HFL for se ling immediate closure related
liabili es, including VRS/VSS expenditure, and to meet administra ve expenses of skeletal staff.
• Appointment of NBCC as Land Management Agency to facilitate land disposal subject to Telangana
Govt.'s decision to purchase the land.
• Appointment of MSTC for disposal of plant/machinery and movable assets through e-auc on.
• Loan of Rs.77.20 Cr. and other GoI dues of HFL are to be repaid from sale proceeds of land and

9.31 The company’s opera ons were adversely affected during 2021-22 due to produc on loss
following COVID-19 Impact related na onwide restric ons. During the period, Company’s
financials was badly affected leading to a situa on of huge liquidity crunch, our plant’s capacity
u lisa on reduced significantly. The reduc ons in DDT order quan ty by NCVBDC due to
restric on imposed in Stockholm Conven on. The Stockholm Conven on on Persistent Organic
Pollutants (POPs) has categorised DDT as one of the POP chemical. India being the signatory to the
conven on is commi ed to reduce reliance on DDT for the vector control programme. HIL has also
taken certain ini a ves to phase out DDT as per the direc ves. The performance of the Company
has been impacted due to COVID-19 lockdown related restric ons and war of Russia with Ukraine.

Exports
9.32 HIL achieved exports of Rs.6.50 crore in FY 2021-22. The company exported DDT, Malathion
Technical and Agrochemicals to countries in Africa and La n America during the year. In the
current FY 2021-22, the export sales has been declined due to non-availability of major
indigenous/imported raw material and liquidity crises faced by company. HIL is striving to give
more emphasis to exports in the coming years.

New ini a ves and projects of HIL

9.33 With a view to widen the product profile and reduce the company’s dependence on DDT revenue,
several new ini a ves and projects have been taken up / planned by HIL to diversify its opera ons.
Some of these ini a ves/projects are given below:

i. HIL has signed MoUs with other public sector fer lizer companies namely Na onal Fer lizers
Limited (NFL), FACT, BEC Fer lizers and IFFCO for supply of neem coated UREA, DAP and NPK to
