NRL exports FRPW to Thailand and Hong Kong

Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL) has began exporting wax to Thailand and Hong Kong (China) along with five other countries.
The first consignment of 20 MT of Fully Refined Paraffin Wax (FRPW) to Thailand and 80 MT to Hong Kong was flagged off from Numaligarh Refinery yesterday by General Manager (Maintenance) Samiran Chakraborty, a NRL release said here today.
Export to Hong Kong assumes special significance since the major part of the Wax requirement in the country was met through imports from China.
This is testimony to the high quality of NRL Wax, which has within a span of less than two years, captured markets in India and abroad, the release said.

Earlier, NRL Wax was exported to Mexico, Kenya, Nepal, Bangladesh and the Central American Nation of Nicaragua.
The Company is also pursuing opportunities to export Wax to a few other countries in the near future.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had dedicated NRL's Wax plant to the nation on February 5 last year at a public function in Dibrugarh, Assam.
The 50,000 Metric Tonnes (MT) Wax Plant commissioned in March, 2015 at a cost of Rs 676 crore is the country's largest Wax producing unit with indigenous technology developed by IIP Dehradun, EIL and NRL, the release said.
NRL has emerged as the largest manufacturer and marketer of Wax in the country since the commissioning of the Wax plant, the release added.
