I G Petrochemicals Ltd Management Discussions

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW GLOBAL ECONOMY

The global economy sustained a growth pace of ~3.4 % in recent years, however, the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East in early 2026 introduced fresh uncertainty, which impacted global growth outlook which is now projected at 3.1 % in 2026 and 3.2 % in 2027 under a contained-conflict scenario as per the IMFs April 2026 World Economic Outlook due to energy price volatility and trade disruptions posing key downside risks. Global inflation is expected to edge up temporarily in 2026, driven by elevated crude oil prices, before resuming its downward trajectory in 2027.

Despite these headwinds, structural growth drivers remain broadly intact pursuant to advances in digital technologies, supply chain diversification, and continued domestic strength in major economies such as the United States (projected at 2.3 % growth in 2026, per the IMF) have supported the global outlook. Central banks maintaining a cautious easing trajectory provided a degree of stability to financing conditions.

For the petrochemical sector, the environment was particularly challenging. Crude oil price volatility amplified by the Middle East conflict which led to significant feedstock cost fluctuations, compressed margins across the value chain. Concurrently, uneven demand in domestic and export markets weighed on realisations. The Company navigated these headwinds through disciplined cost management and focus on operational efficiency.

INDIAN ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

I ndia has emerged as one of the strongest performers among the worlds major economies. Indias real GDP grew an estimated 7.6% in FY26, upward revision from 7.4% (Source: NSO Second Advance Estimate) which is significantly above initial government projections of 6.8%. India maintained its status as the fastest-growing major economy among G20 nations for the third consecutive year, a distinction reaffirmed by the IMF and the World Bank. FY26 was a notable year for Indias macroeconomic credentials. S&P Global upgraded Indias sovereign credit rating from BBB- to BBB with a Stable Outlook. This is the first such upgrade in last 18 years, reflecting international confidence in the countrys fiscal discipline and improving quality of public spending.

However, certain headwinds persisted i.e. Rupee depreciation against the US dollar added to import costs, uneven monsoon performance impacted rural demand in select quarters, and global crude oil volatility fed through to domestic input prices.

For the company the domestic environment presented a mixed picture — strong underlying GDP growth supported end-use demand for petrochemical derivatives, while feedstock cost pressures linked to crude oil volatility and rupee weakness required sustained focus on cost efficiency.

• Fiscal discipline: The fiscal deficit narrowed to an estimated 4.4 % of GDP from 4.8% in FY 2024-25 (source: Union Budget FY26), contributing to the sovereign rating upgrade.

• Trade: India concluded free trade agreements with the European Union, United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Oman, strengthening export diversification.

OUTLOOK

Looking ahead, the growth outlook for India Economy remains positive. The RBI has projected real GDP growth of 6.9% for FY 2026-27.

While external risks from geopolitical developments and financial market volatility remain, India enters FY 2027 from a position of relative strength — supported by healthy foreign exchange reserves, a well-capitalised financial sector, and contained inflation. The Union Budget 2026-27 further reinforces this foundation, with continued emphasis on capital expenditure and manufacturing incentives under PLI schemes, aimed at sustaining domestic-led growth momentum.

For the chemicals and petrochemicals sector, the outlook is optimistic. Rising infrastructure and construction activity, steady growth in paints, plasticizers, and agrochemical end-use segments, and the governments push toward self-reliance in specialty chemicals are expected to support domestic demand. However, the trajectory of crude oil prices and feedstock spreads will remain a key variable influencing margins. Your Companys operational readiness and focus on cost discipline position it to capitalise on the opportunities this environment presents.

2.1 GLOBAL CHEMICAL MARKET

The global chemicals industry, valued at approximately USD 6.2 trillion in 2024, remains resilience in 2025 despite a challenging operating environment characterised by geopolitical uncertainty, evolving trade dynamics, and regional demand divergence. Global chemical production grew by approximately 2.6 % in 2025, propelled by a surge in technology-driven investment, easing monetary policies across key economies, and expanding world trade volumes — reflecting the industrys capacity to sustain momentum through periods of macroeconomic transition.

Notably, the industry entered a phase often described as a strong technology cycle + weak macro cycle. While demand in traditional end-use sectors such as housing and conventional automotive remained uneven, segments linked to semiconductor manufacturing, battery materials, renewable energy, and AI-driven infrastructure registered robust counter-cyclical growth. Agricultural chemicals and specialty chemicals also outperformed, supported by food security imperatives and the increasing complexity of downstream applications. These technology-led verticals are expected to provide a structural floor for chemical demand even as cyclical headwinds persist.

Regionally, the picture is one of divergence rather than uniform weakness. Asias chemicals market — led by China, India, and Southeast Asia — continues to drive global demand, supported by expanding domestic consumption, ongoing industrialisation, and significant capacity investments. The US chemical industry continues to benefit from competitive feedstock and energy costs, with the American Chemistry Council projecting production growth of approximately 3% in both 2025 and 2026.

Strategic Imperatives
