Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) has commissioned its new polyester filament yarn (PFY) unit at Silvassa, capital of the union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, the company said Tuesday.

"The entire production from this facility has been successfully placed in the domestic and international markets," RIL said in a release.

With this commissioning, RIL's total PFY capacity, including the Malaysian facilities, is in excess of 1.5 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA), it added.

"This expansion further strengthens RIL's position as the world's largest producer of polyester fibre and yarn," the company said.

"The new PFY plant at Silvassa is the most automated and one of the most environment-friendly plants globally. It is co-located with RIL's existing texturizing facility at Silvassa eliminating the packaging and logistics costs", the release added.
