The Indian Petrochemicals industry is expected to experience considerable growth in the coming years. The market size of Indian Petrochemicals was estimated at US $60 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow to US $100 billion by 2025, representing a CAGR of around 8%. The growth prospects of the Indian Petrochemicals industry are largely driven by the rising demand for Petrochemicals in the country.

As India's population grows and the middle-class segment expands, there is a surge in the demand for consumer products such as Plastics, Textiles, and Packaging Materials, which require Petrochemicals as a raw material. Also, the increasing use of Polycarbonate, ABS, and Engineering Plastics in the automobile and electronics industries will drive demand for Petrochemicals in India.

The Summit will have sessions on: Conducive Policy Framework, PCPIRs, SEZs and the Way Forward; Sustainability, Green, and Net Zero for India's Petrochemicals Industry; Leveraging Digital and Al Technologies for Business Growth; Accelerating Innovation and R&D in Indian Petrochemicals Industry; and Challenges in Value Addition and Diversification in Indian Petrochemicals.
