Abu Dhabi’s Ta’ziz has entered into two long-term sales agreements with India’s Sanmar Group, committing to supply more than 350,000 tonnes per annum of ethylene dichloride (EDC) and vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) for up to 10 years. These chemicals will be produced at Ta’ziz’s Chemicals Industrial Zone in Al Ruwais Industrial City, Abu Dhabi, and will be exported to support Sanmar’s PVC production facilities in Port Said, Egypt, and Cuddalore, India. This marks the first time EDC and VCM are being exported from the UAE, highlighting the country’s growing role in the global chemicals market. The agreements were signed at Adipec in Abu Dhabi and underscore Ta’ziz’s commitment to becoming a reliable supplier of high-quality petrochemical products to international markets. The deal also strengthens economic ties between the UAE and India, building on the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement signed in 2022. Ta’ziz’s industrial zone is set to produce 4.7 million tonnes per annum of chemicals by 2028, including a PVC production complex with a capacity of 1.9 million tonnes per annum, a one million tonnes per annum ammonia plant, and a 1.8 million tonnes per annum methanol plant. The initiative supports the UAE’s industrial strategy to boost the sector’s contribution to the country’s GDP to Dh300 billion by 2031.
