Overview
- TA’ZIZ awarded an AED7.34bn (US$1.99bn) EPC contract to CC7 for the UAE’s first integrated single-site PVC complex in Ruwais, targeting completion in Q4 2028.
- The complex will have 1.9 mtpa of marketable output across PVC, ethylene dichloride, vinyl chloride monomer and caustic soda, and is described as among the world’s largest PVC centers.
- TA’ZIZ signed long-term agreements of up to 10 years with India’s Sanmar Group to supply more than 350,000 tpa of EDC and VCM, enabling the UAE’s first exports of these PVC feedstocks.
- The sales will support Sanmar’s PVC production in Port Said, Egypt and Cuddalore, India, deepening UAE–India industrial ties following their 2022 economic partnership agreement.
- The PVC award advances Phase 1 toward 4.7 mtpa of chemicals output by 2028, following earlier methanol and ammonia contracts, with TA’ZIZ projecting about $50bn in economic impact and roughly 26,000 jobs.
