The chemical and petrochemical sector in India generated a turnover of approximately USD 144 billion in FY14, accounting for 2.11% of the national GDP, with Gujarat emerging as a key hub responsible for a significant portion of the country's production and exports. Despite being the third largest chemical industry in Asia and sixth globally, India remains a net importer of chemicals, indicating substantial untapped market potential. The government is fostering industry growth through supportive policies, infrastructure development, and incentives for specialty and fine chemicals.
