India Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) Market Trends:

Rising Domestic Production of MEG for Polyester Industry

India is witnessing a shift toward self-sufficiency in monoethylene glycol (MEG) production, supporting the polyester industry’s raw material needs. A newly commissioned facility in Odisha is expected to enhance supply to key textile hubs, reducing reliance on imports. This move aligns with the country's broader push for petrochemical expansion and industrial growth. Increased domestic capacity ensures a steady supply chain, supporting textile manufacturing clusters and improving cost efficiencies. The move also strengthens India’s position in synthetic fiber production, enabling downstream industries like apparel, packaging, and automotive sectors to benefit from stable input availability. This development reflects a strategic effort to enhance production capabilities while fostering a competitive advantage in polyester-based applications across multiple industries. For example, in March 2024, ​India’s Prime Minister inaugurated Indian Oil Corporation's Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) project at the Paradip Refinery in Odisha. This initiative is set to transform the polyester industry in eastern India by supplying essential raw materials to textile parks in Bhadrak and Paradip, thereby reducing the nation's import dependency.

Growing Focus on Sustainable MEG Production

India is advancing toward sustainable chemical manufacturing with a new facility dedicated to producing recycled monoethylene glycol (rMEG) and dimethyl terephthalate (rDMT). This initiative supports the circular economy by repurposing plastic waste into key raw materials for polyester and PET applications. By reducing dependence on fossil-based inputs, the project promotes lower carbon emissions and enhances resource efficiency. As demand for eco-friendly materials rises, industries such as textiles, packaging, and automotive benefit from a more sustainable supply chain. The establishment of this facility highlights a broader shift in manufacturing, prioritizing environmental responsibility and innovation. This development strengthens India’s position in the global market for recycled polymers and green chemicals while supporting long-term industrial growth. For instance, in May 2024, Loop Industries and Ester Industries formed an equal partnership joint venture to build a manufacturing facility in India. This plant would produce 70,000 tonnes of recycled dimethyl terephthalate (rDMT) and 23,000 tonnes of recycled mono-ethylene glycol (rMEG) annually, reducing carbon emissions by up to 70% compared to virgin materials. Operations are expected to commence in early 2027.
