Mumbai (Anil Bedag): At a time when the world is grappling with geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, and volatile trade dynamics, the two-day global summit Vinyl India 2026 has emerged as a crucial platform for the PVC industry. Held at Hotel Sahara Star in Mumbai, the event brought together over 1,200 delegates from more than 20 countries, fostering dialogue on the future of the global PVC ecosystem.
Addressing the summit, Anil Jain, Vice Chairman and CEO of Jain Irrigation Systems Ltd., highlighted the strategic importance of PVC, stating, “India still depends on global markets for PVC, but the domestic potential is immense.” He emphasized PVC’s critical role in water management, food security, and rural development, urging policymakers to build a stable and integrated value chain to withstand global uncertainties.
The discussions underscored the growing importance of PVC in agriculture, irrigation, and infrastructure. Jain further noted, “PVC is the most cost-effective material and offers vast opportunities across food, fiber, fuel, and housing sectors.”
M.P. Taparia, Chairman and Managing Director of Supreme Industries Ltd., stressed the need for innovation and collaboration, pointing out that India’s rapidly expanding economy is creating significant demand for PVC across sectors. Meanwhile, CRISIL’s Chief Economist Dharmakirti Joshi highlighted the shifting global tariff landscape and the need for adaptive strategies to navigate emerging trade challenges.
With India’s PVC market currently valued at around ₹35,000 crore and projected to reach ₹50,000 crore by 2030, the summit not only addressed pressing challenges but also outlined a roadmap for a resilient, self-reliant, and innovation-driven future for the industry.
