MARKET TRENDS
The India petrochemicals market is significantly influenced by the rising demand for sustainable and bio-based petrochemical products. This shift is driven by increasing environmental awareness and stringent government regulations. Companies are investing in bio-based alternatives to conventional plastics, such as biodegradable polymers and bio-polyethylene, to lower carbon footprints. The government's initiatives like the Plastic Waste Management Rules and the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework are accelerating this transition, reflecting a global trend toward sustainability.
More than 2 billion tons of municipal waste are generated globally each year, with projections indicating a 70% increase by 2050, predominantly in developing countries. Smart waste management methods, including recycling and energy recovery, are central to controlling pollution, methane emissions, and climate change. The implementation of circular economy frameworks, such as extended producer responsibility, is vital for minimizing waste and fostering sustainable economic development.
Consumer preference for eco-friendly packaging in FMCG, healthcare, and automotive industries is further driving demand for green petrochemical solutions. Major players like Reliance Industries and Indian Oil Corporation are expanding their bio-based product portfolios, aligning with global sustainability goals. This trend is expected to continue as India progresses toward a circular economy, with innovations in recycling and bio-refineries gaining momentum.
MARKET GROWTH FACTORS
India’s petrochemical sector is undergoing significant capacity expansion to meet rising domestic consumption and export demand. With a refining capacity of approximately 256.816 MMTPA across 23 refineries, India ranks fourth globally in refining capacity after the USA, China, and Japan. Policies such as the Oilfields Amendment Bill 2024 and the Hydrocarbon Exploration and Licensing Policy (HELP) aim to increase exploration areas to 1 million square kilometers by 2030, targeting reserves expansion to 651.8 million metric tonnes of crude oil and 1,138.6 billion cubic meters of natural gas.
The sector's GVA was INR 2.12 lakh crore (around USD 25,542 Million) in 2022-23. Investments in green fuels, bio-refineries, and hydrogen are positioning the industry for substantial growth and enhanced global competitiveness. Rapid urbanization fuels increasing demand for plastics, polymers, and specialty chemicals in packaging, construction, and automotive sectors, driving investment in new production facilities and refinery-integrated petrochemical complexes.
Government incentives like the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for the chemical sector further support capacity expansions. India is also emerging as a key exporter of petrochemical products to Southeast Asia and Africa, benefiting from competitive pricing and improved production capabilities. Infrastructure development, foreign investments, and technological advancements in refining are strengthening India’s position as a global petrochemical hub.
