Vinyl Institute Applauds U.S.-India Trade Framework, Praises Trump Administration's Leadership

Washington D.C., Feb. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Vinyl Institute (VI), representing America’s leading manufacturers of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, today issued the following statement in response to the announcement of a new trade deal between the United States and India:

"The Vinyl Institute commends President Donald Trump and his administration for securing a landmark trade framework with India that strengthens economic ties between two of the world’s largest democracies. This deal marks a significant step forward in expanding market access for American manufacturers and reinforces the importance of free and fair trade.

India is one of the fastest-growing global markets for PVC, and the elimination of tariffs and non-tariff barriers on U.S. exports will enhance the competitiveness of American-made PVC resin in this critical region. By removing trade obstacles, this deal creates new opportunities for U.S. producers to meet India’s growing demand for high-quality, reliable PVC, which is essential to infrastructure, clean and safe water systems, and housing development.

We applaud the Administration’s commitment to advancing U.S. manufacturing and opening markets for American-made products. The Vinyl Institute looks forward to working with both governments to ensure the successful implementation of this framework and to support continued growth and innovation in the United States vinyl industry."
