The ambitious $245-million chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) unit, proposed to be set up through a joint venture between billionaire investor Warren Buffet’s firm -  Lubrizol Corporation and Ahmedabad-based Astral Poly Technik, has hit a legal hurdle, as mentioned in a report. The project is no longer feasible due to legal complexities associated with transportation of liquid chlorine, a key raw material for CPVC project.

Indian laws do not permit transportation of liquid chlorine through pipelines. Since, the company was planning to source liquid chlorine from nearby suppliers at Dahej through pipeline, the project turned unviable considering the legal barrier. However, there is little chance that the project can still take shape provided an additional investment for installing a chlorine gasification plant at the supplier end and then liquefying the gas at own premises is made.

Astral Poly Technik manufactures plumbing systems for residential and industrial applications. Astral is equipped with state of art production facilities at Ahmadabad and Himachal Pradesh to manufacture plumbing systems from 1/2” to 6” with all kinds of necessary fittings.
