Source Facts
New import restrictions on low-priced PVC resin will affect foreign suppliers. Domestic prices for this key raw material are expected to increase significantly. India relies heavily on imports for its PVC resin needs. Domestic production capacity meets only a fraction of the country's demand. This measure will likely increase import costs without substantially reducing overall imports.
