ChemAnalyst forecasts that, “ Indian polymer markets are expecting better trades and greater activity

in the upcoming quarter, supported by government reforms to push domestic manufacturing and

curtail its trade bill in alignment with Atmanirbhar Bharat mission which will serve as a strong impetus

to strengthen its global presence.”
