India’s ONGC Petro additions Limited (OPaL) has unveiled an Early Bird Discount scheme offering a discount of ₹2.50 per kilogram on polypropylene (PP) grades purchased between August 1 and 15, 2025, according to an industry source who spoke with Polymerduniya.
The promotional initiative is targeted at the domestic market and serves as a strategic incentive to spur buyer engagement during the first half of August. While precise volume thresholds or eligibility criteria have not been disclosed, the scheme mirrors earlier discount programs offered by OPaL earlier in the year, which aimed to boost offtake by domestic converters and reduce inventory levels.
In a broader context, the Indian PP market remains under pressure from weak downstream demand and global competition. Domestic producers, including OPaL, Reliance, MRPL, and Haldia Petrochemicals, have rolled out similar discount and incentive programs in recent months to maintain sales velocity amid cautious buyer sentiment.
