Developments over last year
Each PCPIR would be housed in a 250 square kilometre (61,776 acres) zone with a
refinery and adjacent petrochemical plants. The central government had already
shortlisted six sites across the country for development of these zones.
However the progress has been slow with many states even reconsidering going with
PCPIRs because of following reasons:
• Impact that chemical plants would have on the local environment.
• Opposition concerning rehabilitation of displaced people
