the aromatics plant, capacity utilisation (actual production as a percentage of installed capacity) of benzene was 54 per cent in 1987-88 as against 19 per cent last year. Capacity utilisation of toluene was 48 per cent in 1987-88 against 28 per cent last year. The lubricants plants at Calcutta and Bombay recorded a combined capacity utilisation (on a single shift basis) of 94 per cent in 1987-88 compared to 83 per cent last year. Plant operational performance thus seemed to have improved. The import content ol raw materials consumed (on a value basis) was 18.1 per cent in 1987-88 compared to 3.7 per cent last year. The import content of spare parts and components consumed was 22.6 per cent in 1987-88 against 37.9 per cent last year.
