TA’ZIZ signs chemical offtake deal with India’s Sanmar to boost UAE exports

ABU DHABI, November 6, 2025 – TA’ZIZ has signed long-term agreements with India’s Sanmar Group to export over 350,000 tonnes per year of ethylene dichloride and vinyl chloride monomer from the UAE to Egypt and India, Reuters reported on Thursday.

The offtake agreements, ranging from five to ten years, mark the first export of these chemicals from the UAE and will support Sanmar’s PVC production facilities in Port Said and Cuddalore.

Signed during ADIPEC 2025, the deals reinforce industrial ties between the UAE and India and bolster TA’ZIZ’s position as a reliable supplier of petrochemical feedstocks to global markets.

“These agreements underscore TA’ZIZ’s commitment to become a reliable supplier of high-quality petrochemical products to global markets,” TA’ZIZ CEO Mashal Al-Kindi said.

The EDC and VCM will be produced at the TA’ZIZ Chemicals Industrial Zone in Al Ruwais, the UAE’s largest integrated chemical production complex, which will have a total capacity of 4.7 million tonnes per year upon completion in 2028.

TA’ZIZ is a joint venture between ADNOC and ADQ focused on driving the UAE’s industrial growth by producing chemicals such as caustic soda, PVC, EDC, VCM, methanol and ammonia. The company supports domestic downstream expansion while supplying international markets, in line with the UAE’s Operation 300Bn strategy.

The Sanmar Group is a leading global manufacturer of PVC and specialty chemicals with operations in India and Egypt. Through its subsidiary TCI Sanmar, it runs large-scale chemical production facilities in Cuddalore and Port Said.
