Industry overview

Petrochemicals are a vast and essential group of chemicals derived from petroleum (crude oil) and natural gas. These ‘fossil fuels’ are primarily composed of hydrocarbons, molecules containing just hydrogen and carbon atoms. Through various refining and processing techniques, these hydrocarbons are transformed into a diverse range of petrochemical products that underpin countless aspects of human life. Indian chemical sector continues to grow at a rate of 1.2-1.5 times the GDP. India's chemical and petrochemical industry is currently valued at around $178 billion and is expected to reach $300 billion by 20253. The Ministry of Petroleum estimates that demand for petrochemicals will triple by 2040, reaching a value of $1 trillion. India ranks as the sixth largest player in the global petrochemical market.

India is a net importer of polyethylene with value of annual imports touching Rs 374 billion in FY 2024 against an annual export value of around Rs 43 billion in the same year. Strong imports of polyethylene are on account of a combination of insufficient domestic production as well as competitive cost of imported products as against domestic supply. India's import trends for polyethylene highlight varying patterns across categories, driven by domestic demand and application-specific requirements. Polyethylene with a specific gravity of less than 0.94 saw fluctuations, declining from Rs 28 billion in FY 2020 to Rs 21 billion in FY 2021, rebounding to Rs 33 billion in FY 2023, and then moderating to Rs 23 billion during April–September FY 2025, possibly due to increasing domestic supply or reduced demand. 

While the historical performance of Indian chemical industry has been exemplary, the future holds even better growth opportunities. Domestic chemical consumption is rising steadily, and the country is expected to account for more than 20% of the incremental global consumption of chemicals that would happen globally in near future. The steady growth in industrial production is a key demand enabler. In addition, India is also positioning itself as a global chemical manufacturing hub, to meet the growing global demand. The evolving geopolitical scenario (the impact of events like Covid-19 pandemic and Russia - Ukraine conflict on global supply chain) has raised the question to relook the existing manufacturing landscape. Developed economies are looking at options beyond China to source products.
