Meela Jayadev (Managing Director of one of India's largest domestic plastic producer Sudhakar Polymers LTD): The insufficiency in domestic production has had a major impact on the manufacturers of PVC finished products. It has not only led to shortage of materials but also increase in raw material prices, thus resulting in an unhealthy environment for the processors and high cost of production. The increased cost has impacted small and medium players more, with them encountering non-competitive pricing, resulting in the market slowly gravitating towards large players.

IMO Government of India needs more PVC than the top manufacturers have available. The 1.7 Billion dollar contract that LCG has is just a piece of India's massive infrastructure makeover that is currently taking place.

"India is the fastest-growing large economy in the world, and the government has set itself a target of investing $377 billion (American dollars) in infrastructure over the next three years. As a first step towards meeting this challenge, the country has focused on developing a capable local market, and strong financial and technical capability."-World Economic Forum


Mostly going to be invested (377 billion) in railways and water resources (PVC PIPES)
"To implement the national infrastructure plan, India should empower a national infrastructure unit. It already has a unit established by the Ministry of Finance for the examination, approval and financing of public-private partnership projects. But an empowered infrastructure unit would go a step further: it would oversee and coordinate the country’s development and execution strategy across the traditional silos of government. The point is not to replace the role played by existing ministries – such as the Ministry of Railways or the Ministry of Water Resources – but to support them by prioritizing projects and coordinating strategies."- World Economic Forum
