South Korea’s largest industrial plant builder Samsung Engineering Co today won a USD 230 million order to build a petrochemical plant in Western India, reports said.
Under the deal with ONGC Petro-additions Ltd — a unit of India’s state-run Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) — Samsung Engineering will complete the plant with an annual production capacity of 340,000 tonnes of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) by July, 2013, a Yonhap report said quoting the company.
