Why this page matters: Every flexible packaging film manufacturer in India — UFlex, Cosmo, Jindal, Polyplex, SRF — sources their raw polymer resin from these companies. Reliance Industries is the dominant domestic PP and PET resin supplier. Understanding this supply chain is important during periods of resin price volatility, as resin cost is 60–70% of film manufacturing cost.
