3 million tonnes per annum of polyethylene (PE) and 400,000 tonnes of polypropylene (PP) and is expected to be commissioned in 2024-25

Production at the plant will use ethane and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from Gazprom's Amur gas processing plant as feedstocks

Strategically located in the region and designed to serve key buyers in Asia, the plant has a capacity of 1.
35 times SIBUR's total polymer exports in 2019

Dmitry Konov, chairman of the board of directors of Russia's SIBUR, told reporters that SIBUR is not ready to introduce new shareholders other than Sinopec to the Amur Gas and Chemical Complex
