Manali Petrochemicals Plant-1 Operations to Resume Post Propylene Allocation
Manali Petrochemicals' Plant-1 in Manali, Chennai, will resume operations. This follows a temporary suspension due to a propylene supply halt. A new government allocation of propylene from CPCL enables the restart. Operations will resume in phases.
The resumption of operations is significant for the company's production and supply chain, but the impact is medium as Plant-2 operations remain unaffected and the restart is phased.
The resumption of operations at Plant-1, after a temporary suspension, is a positive development for the company.
Manali Petrochemicals Limited (MPL) has announced the resumption of operations at its Plant-1 in Manali, Chennai. This follows a temporary suspension initiated on March 12, 2026, due to a force majeure event caused by the cessation of propylene supply from Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited (CPCL).
The resumption is made possible by a Revised Office Memorandum dated April 17, 2026, issued by the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, Government of India. This memorandum allocates a fixed daily quantity of propylene to MPL, which will be supplied by CPCL to meet pharmaceutical industry requirements.
Operations at Plant-1 are expected to commence restarting in a phased manner upon receipt of propylene supplies. The force majeure condition is now considered resolved to the extent of the allocated propylene. Operations at Plant-2 remain unchanged. The company will continue to provide updates on further material developments.
