Andhra Petrochemicals has suspended operations at its Visakhapatnam plant from 17 March 2026. The shutdown is due to Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) stopping the supply of Propylene, the company's major raw material. The disruption in supply is linked to the ongoing conflict involving Iran, the USA, and Israel. The company stated that plant operations will resume once HPCL restores Propylene supply, and it will notify BSE at that time.
This is a negative near-term development — production is halted with no defined restart date, meaning the company will face revenue loss and margin pressure until supply resumes. The duration of the shutdown depends entirely on geopolitical developments and HPCL's supply restoration timeline.
