Industry Overview

The plastic films packaging industry in India represents a dynamic and indispensable segment of the nation’s broader packaging sector. It plays a crucial role in serving high-growth industries such as food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, personal and home care, FMCG, industrial chemicals, and Agri-products, by providing cost effective, durable, and efficient packaging formats. Plastic films used in packaging are primarily produced from polymers like polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyester (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and nylon, offering a combination of flexibility, barrier properties, and mechanical strength. India’s plastic films segment includes a wide array of formats such as laminated rolls, multilayer films, stretch and shrink films, pouches, wraps, and thermoformed films. These are extensively used for packaging snacks, dairy products, ready-to-eat meals, condiments, personal care items, and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals. Their lightweight nature, customizability, shelf-life extension, and adaptability to high-speed packaging lines have made them a preferred packaging medium for both domestic consumption and export-oriented industries.

India’s plastic film packaging industry has emerged as a vital segment within the broader flexible packaging ecosystem, playing a pivotal role in the preservation, transportation, and aesthetic presentation of products across food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, agriculture, and e-commerce. The market has shown steady growth, with its estimated value increasing from 1.93 million tonnes in FY 2025, indicating consistent demand growth across sectors. As the industry estimates, the Indian plastic film packaging market is projected to reach around 3.81 million tonnes by FY 2035, growing at a CAGR of 7.05% during the forecast period FY 2025-FY 2035. This growth trajectory is underpinned by increasing demand for hygienic, lightweight, and cost-effective packaging, rising disposable incomes, and expanding modern trade networks. Plastic films such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and PVC are extensively used for flexible laminates, barrier packaging, shrink and stretch wraps, and specialty films, making them indispensable across multiple applications. The sector is also benefitting from increased use of multilayer films and biodegradable variants in response to regulatory pressure and consumer preference for eco-friendly alternatives.

India’s strong polymer production base, government support for manufacturing (such as under the PLI scheme), and relatively lower operational costs provide a competitive advantage to domestic players. Furthermore, advancements in extrusion and co-extrusion technologies have enhanced film performance, enabling extended shelf-life, better printability, and improved recyclability. However, the industry faces critical challenges including plastic waste accumulation, lack of robust collection and recycling systems, and regulatory uncertainties surrounding single-use plastics. Moving forward, the sector's sustainability will depend on the scale-up of circular economy practices, development of recyclable mono-material films, and collaborative efforts between industry and government to build integrated waste management frameworks. Despite these hurdles, the plastic film packaging industry in India is expected to maintain its growth momentum, driven by innovation, regulatory alignment, and the evolving needs of a consumption-driven economy.

Pros and strengths

Strategic location advantage: Its factory is located at Dhandha, Himatnagar in Gujarat, in close proximity to Rajasthan a region with growing demand for flexible packaging. As Rajasthan lacks developed flexible packaging infrastructure, it benefits from strong demand and reduced competition. This geographical edge enables efficient logistics, reduced delivery timelines, and lower transportation costs, giving it a significant competitive advantage in serving clients in both Gujarat and Rajasthan.

Diversified product range: Its manufacturing setup enables it to produce a wide variety of customized packaging materials suited for different applications and industries. It works closely with customers to understand their needs and issue tailor-made packaging solutions whether it's specific design requirements, material specifications, or compliance with sustainability norms. This ability to adapt and innovate enhances customer satisfaction and market responsiveness.

Strong focus on quality assurance: Quality is the cornerstone of its operations. Its products undergo quality checks from procurement of raw materials to the final product. Its commitment is validated by the ISO 9001:2015 certification, covering multilayer adhesive flexible packaging materials and other related products.

Risks and concerns

Reliance on key customers: The company is significantly dependent on few customers for its revenue. The loss of any one or more of such customers may have a material effect on its business operations and profitability. Any failure to maintain relationships with such customers could adversely affect its revenue and financial condition. The revenue from top 10 customers contributed 99.98%, 99.25%, 87.37% and 96.41% of total revenue from operations for the period ending November 30, 2025 and financial year ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, respectively.

Challenges from plastic waste and regulatory scrutiny: The increasing reliance of the world on plastics and their impact on the environment, could lead to promulgation of stricter government regulations and adoption of rigorous waste management rules which in turn may require it to make additional capital expenditures, incur additional expenses or take other actions in order to remain compliant and maintain its current operations. Further, certain of its products involve complex multilayer structures, which pose recycling challenges and hinder effective end-of-life management. This may attract heightened regulatory scrutiny and require it to invest in alternative materials, redesign its products, or adopt enhanced waste management processes, which could increase its costs and adversely impact its operations. 

High revenue dependence on Gujarat: Its revenue is majorly dependent from the Gujarat state only. It generated almost 100.00%, 99.26%, 90.78% and 96.77% of the total revenue from Gujarat for the period ended November 30, 2025, financial year ended on March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 respectively. The heavy reliance on Gujarat exposes the company to concentration risk. Clients in Gujarat state may contribute a substantial share of its revenue in the future. The loss of a major client or reduced business from significant clients in this region could have a considerable negative impact on its financials. Any adverse economic, regulatory, or business conditions in the said state could significantly impact its financial performance and overall stability. 

Outlook

RFBL Flexi Pack is primarily engaged in the business of manufacturing and trading of printed multilayer flexible packaging material such as plastic film rolls and pouches which are predominantly used for packaging applications across various industries. It also deals in trading of Woven Fabric Packaging Material and Polyester Laminated and other types of films.

It has built strong relationships with several repeat customers due to its quality, reliability, and responsive service. Its customer centric approach and timely delivery model have led to consistent business from key clients, providing a strong foundation for future growth. On the concern side, it is dependent on its top suppliers for uninterrupted supply of Raw-Materials and purchase stock in trade. Any shortfall in the supply, or an increase in costs and other input costs, may adversely affect the pricing and supply of its products with subsequently having an adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial conditions of the company. Further, the introduction of alternative packaging materials caused by changes in technology or consumer preferences may affect demand for its existing products, which may adversely affect its financial results and business prospects.
