Plastic & Petrochemical Exports to India | Abrisham Road B2B Platform
Iranian Plastic and Petrochemical Products to India
The export of plastic and petrochemical products is one of the main pillars of Iran’s non-oil economy. Among Iran’s target markets, India holds a strategic position due to its large population, rapid industrial growth, and extensive demand for polymer and chemical raw materials. In this context, the Abrisham Road International System, as the first B2B platform in Iran, plays a vital role in connecting Iranian producers with Indian buyers and facilitating sustainable export growth.
Iran’s Position in Plastic and Petrochemical Exports
Thanks to its vast natural gas reserves and access to low-cost feedstock, Iran is one of the leading petrochemical producers in the Middle East. Iranian plastic and petrochemical products are well received in Asian markets, including India, due to their competitive pricing, consistent quality, and high production capacity.
The main Iranian plastic and petrochemical products exported to India include:
- Polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE)
- Polypropylene (PP)
- Polystyrene (PS)
- PVC
- Methanol
- Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG)
- Industrial urea and petrochemical feedstocks such as naphtha
These products are widely used in India’s packaging, textile, automotive, construction, plastic manufacturing, and chemical industries.
The Role of Abrisham Road in Developing Exports to India
The Abrisham Road International Platform was established to facilitate Iran’s foreign trade and serves as a specialized digital B2B marketplace, offering professional export services to plastic and petrochemical industry players.
1. Direct Connection Between Producers and Indian Buyers
The platform enables direct communication between Iranian manufacturers and exporters and Indian importers, factories, and traders. This direct interaction reduces intermediary costs, increases price transparency, and accelerates commercial negotiations.
2. Professional Product Presentation
On the Abrisham Road platform, products are presented with full technical specifications, including grade, MFI, density, packaging type, and supply capacity. This transparency allows Indian buyers to make faster and more informed purchasing decisions while strengthening mutual trust.
3. Trust Building and Risk Reduction
By verifying company identities, reviewing purchase requests (RFQs), and providing transparent business information, the platform significantly reduces the risks associated with international petrochemical trade, such as fraud and unreliable counterparties.
4. Export and Logistics Support
Abrisham Road supports exporters in selecting suitable shipping methods (bulk, containerized, jumbo bags), delivery terms (FOB, CFR, CIF), and preparing export documentation such as invoices, packing lists, COA, and MSDS—critical elements for petrochemical exports to India.
5. Digital Marketing and Brand Visibility
Through international digital marketing tools and targeted product exposure in the Indian market, the platform enhances the visibility of Iranian brands and supports sustainable export development.
