India’s petrochemical<\/a> industry is at a defining point. The country needs to import Aromatics Manufacturing in India which cost more than Rs 13000 Crore because of its inability to refine the required amount despite having the largest refining capacity in the world. The essential petrochemicals which include Benzene Toluene and Xylenes (BTX) function as critical raw materials for various fields including textiles plastics packaging paints and pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.<\/p>

While the goal<\/a> of India is to become self-reliant in chemicals and petrochemicals, production of domestic aromatics has come down by almost 10% from 2019 to 2024. During the same time period, there has been a significant growth in imports with a CAGR of around 14.5%. This widening demand-supply gap is an obvious investment opportunity.<\/p>

The current 6% structural growth gap in aromatics isn’t a temporary situation – it is an indication of a long-term need for new manufacturing capacity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
