When electricity is passed through an aqueous solution of sodium chloride, the three products are obtained which are:

hydrogen
chlorine
sodium hydroxide

When sodium chloride is electrolysed, sodium is obtained at cathode which then reacts with water to give alkali and hydrogen. Thus alkali is the main product. On the other hand, chlorine is obtained at anode. So it is called chlor-alkali process.
