India Propylene Market Trends:

Domestic Supply Boost with Propylene Glycol Expansion

India's propylene glycol industry has experienced strong growth, led by growing demand in the food, beverage, and pharma industries. The nation has historically depended on imports to fulfill demand, creating supply chain risks and cost variability. Concurrent with this, domestic production development efforts have been gaining traction. This trend enables increased stability in supply chains, providing consistent supplies of material to producers. For example, in October 2024, Manali Petrochemical Ltd (MPL) expanded its propylene glycol capacity by 32,000 TPA with a Rs 94 crore investment using a 50:50 debt-equity ratio. The enhanced production assures local availability and minimizes dependence on expensive imports. Propylene glycol is an essential raw material in pharmaceutical products and other food items, used as a stabilizer and humectant. With this expansion, producers have a secure and affordable source of raw materials. Furthermore, this expansion fortifies India's petrochemical industry, in line with national aspirations for self-reliance and economic development.

Strengthening Industrial Growth with Polypropylene Expansion

The demand for polypropylene in India has surged, driven by its versatile applications in packaging, consumer goods, and the automotive sector. Domestic production capacity has often lagged behind consumption, leading to an increased reliance on imports. To bridge this gap and support local industries, technological advancements and infrastructure expansions are taking center stage. In August 2024, Lummus Technology secured a contract from Petronet LNG to license its Novolen polypropylene (PP) technology for a 500 KTA plant in Dahej, India. This expansion significantly boosts domestic polypropylene production, reducing the country's dependence on foreign suppliers. Novolen’s efficient and sustainable technology supports cost-effective production, benefiting industries that rely heavily on polypropylene components. The automotive sector, for example, uses polypropylene for lightweight, durable parts, contributing to vehicle efficiency. Similarly, the packaging industry gains access to locally sourced, competitively priced materials. By fostering industrial growth and enhancing supply chain resilience, this project strengthens India's position as a leading player in the Indian polypropylene sector.
