PVC import floor raises costs for pipe makers, strengthens domestic resin producers
A six-month minimum import price of $0.766/kg for S-PVC resin has reportedly lifted domestic prices from Rs 82/kg to Rs 93/kg, pressuring pipe-making MSMEs and potentially increasing housing and irrigation project costs. Reliance Industries, which holds 51% of domestic PVC capacity, stands to benefit ahead of new capacity from Reliance and Adani.
