Plastic Industry in India is currently facing a lot of heat from various environmental bodies and state governments. There is a constant threat to the longevity of the business, and hence customers are scared of new investments in this industry. The issue originates with the littering of plastic flexibles such as carry bags etc.; however, the entire plastic packaging industry (including rigid plastics) is facing serious review by governments worldwide. In addition to this, price stability on major raw materials and low customer loyalty are some of the other challenges faced by the plastics industry today.
