phase. The investment in the above mentioned projects would also contribute to
meet the country’s investment realization target for the year 2016.
TechSci depicts that the on completion, the production
capacity of ammonia and mega methanol would increase in Indonesia and it would
consequently increase the production capacity of consumer textile, industrial
textile, engineering plastic, resin, rubber and acrylic fibre in the country,
this would further strengthen the position of Indonesia in global petrochemical
industry.
According to TechSci Research report, “Global
