Domestic industry flags concern of rising Chinese PVC product imports
Infrastructure and agricultural growth in India may have created demand for Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), mostly used in pipes and agri-based applications but carbide-based PVC imports from China are posing health and environmental hazards as well as damaging the domestic industry, said industry officials. These products, dumped into the Indian market at artificially low prices, contain Residual Vinyl Chloride Monomer (RVCM)—a Group 1 carcinogen—as high as 10ppm, significantly breaching India's permissible norms, they said. The current lack of stringent import quality enforcement risks turning India into a dumping ground for toxic and environmentally hazardous materials, while unfairly disadvantaging domestic manufacturers who meet all safety standards, they added. Unlike domestically-produced PVC, which adheres to the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) norms, Chinese imports often bypass these checks, slipping through enforcement gaps in existing Quality Control Orders (QCOs). The result is not just a compromised public health situation but also an erosion of environmental safety. When exposed to sunlight or friction, these low-grade PVC products disintegrate into microplastics—contaminating water sources, soil, and potentially entire food chains, they said. Anupam Kaul, former Director & Head of the National Institute of Training for Standardization, said 'A key issue is the uncertainty created by government by frequently amending enforcement dates of the notified Quality Control Orders.' 'Technical regulations are instruments of law and once notified spur a series of actions by the affected parties - manufacturers, raw material suppliers, organised buyers, test houses, certification agencies. The actions include investments in technology upgrade, infrastructure, materials, skillsets to meet the BIS standards,' he said. 'There is a growing tendency among the regulating ministries including the DCPC, to notify a short lead period (3 to 6 months ) on the first go, and then keep extending its enforcement date depending on the volume of voices raised by the impacted parties, such as the powerful import lobbies,' he added. 'In some cases extensions have stretched by 2 to 3 years. Unlike the Regulations in EU and other countries that evaluate and prescribe an adequate time frame upfront for ensuring compliance (and stay with it), the Indian practice of frequent extensions plays havoc with the supply chains that remain on tenterhooks till the last moment, not knowing whether the next enforcement date is final or will be extended,' he said. 'In several cases, (such as stainless steel utensils, cabinet hinges) the extensions came retrospectively after months. This scenario not only undermines the diligence and efforts of manufacturers (including those overseas) who secure the BIS certifications at high costs, but also presents an unreliable policy regime to the world, defying the principles of ease of doing business,' he added. India's PVC pipe market is projected to grow at 14.2% CAGR, reaching $1.24 billion by 2033. But while demand grows, domestic capacity cannot keep pace, leaving India increasingly reliant on imports—primarily from China, the world's largest PVC exporter. The current lack of stringent import quality enforcement risks turning India into a dumping ground for toxic and environmentally hazardous materials, while unfairly disadvantaging domestic manufacturers who meet all safety standards,' industry officials said.

Japanese shipping line MOL to deepen presence in India
Japanese shipping major Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL), the world's second largest shipping company in terms of fleet size, has decided to deepen it's presence in India, where it finds vast potential for growth in maritime trade. The 141-year-old company has, as part of a three pronged strategy, decided to empower its regional leadership under Captain Anand Jayaraman to drive growth and achieve business objectives. It is also investing heavily in decarbonisation measures and start-ups to meet its net zero goals by 2050.

More ships for India He said that more ships would be deployed in India depending on the requirement of public and private sector energy companies. Stating that the company's focus would remain on energy transportation and to deploy car carriers, he said that maximum emphasis was being given on decarbonisation. As a mid-term strategy the company is focusing on LNG run carriers which will reduce emissions by 25%. Meanwhile, it is inducting duel-fuel vessels which can run on green ammonia and hydrogen.

The days of English supremacy are went
In a twist of linguistic fate, fluent English speakers everywhere are bracing for the inevitable: the total social collapse of English language prestige. Still considered in some quarters to be the global passport to power, diplomacy and deeply awkward small talk at corporate mixers, English is, we are told by reliable sources, on its way to becoming the linguistic equivalent of wearing socks with sandals - technically functional, but spiritually, aesthetically, civilisationally embarrassing. And the revolution is being ushered in - no, not by those who don't speak English, but - by those who speak English 'badly' (whatever that means). Even lifelong English language supremacists - to be found in quaint locales like Kolkata rather than anywhere in England - are now finding speaking the language 'humiliating'. People who felt superior just saying 'schedule' with a soft 'sh' now prefer speaking Tamil, or even Mandarin. Once Indian teenagers started calling out grammar snobs on social media, anglophonic teens in England and America retaliated by learning Malayalam, Spanish or Bengali. Interlinear group chats have called out English as 'kind of cringe'. Keeping this galloping trend in mind, we must inform you that any day now - because of the shame in writing this in English - this column will switch to another language.
