India ranks second among the leading textile manufacturing countries across the globe. Textile industry accounts for around 4% share in the country's GDP. Since naphthalene is characterized by properties that can impart as well as remove natural colour from a fabric, naphthalene finds significant use in textile industry in India. In addition, naphthalene is also used for the production of SNF, which is largely used by chemical industry in India within construction chemicals. However, easy availability of alternative ingredients such as Bon acid and xylene poses a challenge to growing naphthalene sales in India. Other small producers like AVH Chemicals, Kedia carbon, etc. are also producing crude naphthalene using raw material i.e. coal tar from SAIL. AVH Chemicals is planning to expand its capacity by the end of third quarter of 2014.
"Since raw material of naphthalene is a by-product of steel industry during the process of making coke, naphthalene market in India completely depends on the scenario prevailing in India's steel industry. This is the main reason behind the uneven scenario in trade dynamics of the naphthalene in India", said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research, a research based global management consulting firm. "Due to limited manufacturing base in India, the country largely relies on imports from other countries to address the demand for naphthalene in the country" added Mr. Chechi.
