India Nitric Acid Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End Use, Type, Process, Technology, Distribution Channel, Region, Competition, Trade, Customer & Price Intelligence Market Analysis, 2015-2030

India Nitric Acid demand stood at 575 Thousand Tonnes in FY2021 and is forecast to reach 930.98 Thousand Tonnes by FY2030, growing at a healthy CAGR of 5.50% until FY2030. Nitric acid is one of the major chemicals with different grades available in the market such as Dilute Nitric Acid (DNA) 60%, Concentrated Nitric Acid (CNA) 98%, Strong Nitric Acid (SNA) with 64%, 68%, and 72% used in different applications in multiple industries. The major demand for nitric acid is derived from the fertilizer industry to produce Ammonium Nitrate. Domestic manufacturer consumes nitric acid for captive use to produce nitrate-based fertilizer. Nitric acid is also used to produce nitroaromatics such as Nitro Benzene and Nitro Toluene, etc. Aarti Industries is one of the leading consumers of Nitric Acid for the production of nitroaromatics. Demand for nitric acid application has recently improved in the electronic industry & steel industry also. With government initiatives such as Make in India and reducing the import of explosives from the overseas countries, the domestic end-user such as Ordnance Factory and some private players are focusing on enhancing their production output, which is anticipated to fuel the demand for nitric acid in the coming years. The outbreak of COVID-19 in FY2020 disrupted the economy. The market growth was affected drastically, and production units shut down. Furthermore, the major market players intentionally halted the production keeping their employees’ health and wellness in mind. With imposed new regulations of the COVID-19 and proper precautions, the market is anticipated to regain its growth in the years to come. Once the market regains the full function of its production unit, the market is bound to show robust growth in the forecast period. Potential investment in the market is expecting steady growth in the market in the forecast period, until FY2030.

Deepak Fertilisers & Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd., Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd., Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd are the major producer of nitric acid in India. Deepak Fertilisers & Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd has set up a greenfield project of producing nitric acid in FY2019 located in Dahej, Gujarat.

The total capacity of nitric acid in India is around 2044 KTPA with Deepak Fertilisers & Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd holding a maximum share in its production and capacity in comparison to the other three leading players. The domestic production of nitric acid has surged, and the exports of nitric acid have improved. Thus, the overall rising application of nitric acid in the steel, pharmaceuticals, aromatics, and explosives industry is anticipated to boost the demand for nitric acid during the forecast period.
