India domestic and CFR India polypropylene raffia, injection moulding, and film grade pricing. Reliance Industries and GAIL domestic capacity tracker, India PP import dependency, Middle East Hormuz disruption impact on CFR India supply, woven sack and FIBC demand from agricultural sector, and 3-scenario price outlook. Published monthly.
India is simultaneously the fastest-growing PP consuming market globally at approximately 8% to 9% per year and among the most import-dependent major markets at approximately 35% of demand met by imports - and the Hormuz closure disrupting Middle Eastern PP supply from SABIC and Borouge is affecting Indian import pricing at the precise moment when domestic capacity from Reliance and GAIL is insufficient to absorb the import gap.
Indian PP supply is produced domestically by Reliance Industries at Jamnagar with approximately 1.4 million MT per year - the largest Indian PP producer by a significant margin - and GAIL India at Pata Uttar Pradesh with approximately 480 KT per year. Indian domestic production at approximately 1.88 million MT per year covers approximately 65% of Indian demand of approximately 2.9 million MT per year in 2026, leaving approximately 1.02 million MT per year to be sourced from imports. The Middle Eastern import fraction accounts for approximately 480 to 520 KT per year under normal conditions, which the Hormuz disruption has reduced significantly and is being replaced by Korean, Chinese, and USGC supply at higher delivered cost. Demand for Polypropylene Homopolymer in India is primarily from polymer derivative producers operating integrated chains, with pricing determined by derivative plant operating rates, feedstock cost differentials between naphtha and ethane-based producers, and competitive import pressure from low-cost Middle Eastern and US Gulf Coast producers. India 35% Import Dependency Exposed - India meets approximately 35% of PP demand from imports, with Middle Eastern producers SABIC and Borouge as primary sources. Hormuz closure has reduced Middle Eastern PP availability for Indian import buyers, requiring alternative sourcing . In the current 2026 supply and demand environment, Polypropylene Homopolymer pricing in India reflects both structural market conditions and active geopolitical supply chain disruption.
The IMF confirmed in March 2026 that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz had disrupted approximately 20% of global seaborne oil and LNG supply. For Indian domestic PP, the Hormuz disruption is a direct import supply shock - SABIC and Borouge Middle Eastern PP that normally supplies approximately 35% to 40% of Indian PP import volumes is disrupted, requiring replacement from more expensive and more distant alternative sources. India is one of the few PP markets where the combination of high import dependency and price-sensitive demand creates genuine demand destruction risk if the supply disruption and associated cost elevation persist beyond Q3 2026. Domestic Capacity Running at Full Rate - Reliance Industries at Jamnagar Gujarat and GAIL India at Pata Uttar Pradesh are operating at maximum capacity rates to serve Indian domestic demand.
