entire year under review since the operation of the Plant by using
Naphtha as feed stock continues to be economically not viable.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
Till date allocation of natural gas by Govt. of India has not been made
It is our view that availability of natural gas from domestic producers
will improve in near future at competative price and would be possible
to resume the plant operations. Short fall in the availability of
methanol continues and is being met by imports.
