New Delhi, December 18

India’s per capita consumption of petrochemicals will more than double to 10 per cent of the incremental growth of global petrochemical demand, said Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri. India’s current per capita consumption is just 4 per cent of global capacity.

“Petrochemical market size in India is about $190 billion, whereas the per capita consumption of petrochemical segments is significantly lower compared with that in developed economies,” he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
