India Is Moving Towards Self-Sufficiency In PVC Resin Manufacturing

The Establishment of a Polyvinyl Chloride Plant in Gujarat Was Approved By IOCL

The investment proposal for a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) manufacturing facility accounting for over INR 4,000 crore in Gujarat was approved by the Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL). The approval by IOCL will assist India in reducing its dependence on resin import, which has significant demand across sectors like pipe making, automobiles, infrastructure, and cell phones.

With imports exceeding two million tons, India is the most significant PVC resins importer, followed by China and the US, and the import reliance will likely increase as the demand is expected to reach seven million tons by 2030. This agreement is also an aspect of a strategy in order to concentrate on the downstream polymer and petrochemical business with a view to capitalise off of the supply gap amidst a prompt boost in demand.

The project intends to raise the capacity of Gujrat's Vadodara refinery from 13.7 million tons each year to 18 million tons and construct a 2,35,000 ton a year Lube Oil Base Stock (LOBS) unit as well as a 0.5 million tons a year polypropylene (PP) plant. The following refinery project is part of the plan to expand the petrochemical capacity by 70 percent in the next decade from the present 3.2 million tons a year.

Plastic Pipe Market Trends And Future In India
