Phenol demand in India is sizeable, but only two domestic manufacturers, Deepak Phenolics and Hindustan Organic Chemicals Ltd (HOCL), make it, and they meet about 60% of demand. Several new cumene/phenol projects are under way, and these have prompted plans for related bisphenol-A (BPA) and polycarbonate capacity. The related solvents and intermediates (VAM & MEK) are a different story: demand in India has been strong in recent years, but capacity additions have been negligible.
