This presentation provides an overview of the chemicals industry in India. It notes that the Indian chemicals industry is the 12th largest globally and 3rd largest in Asia, with a size of US$76 billion in 2009-2010. It is expected to grow at 10%, double the global industry growth rate. The presentation discusses the key segments and sub-segments of the industry, including basic chemicals like petrochemicals and fertilizers, specialty chemicals, and knowledge chemicals like pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. It provides data on leading companies and production capacities for various chemicals. The government is promoting industry growth through initiatives like investment breaks for R&D and setting up of petroleum, chemicals and petrochemical investment regions.

CHARACTERISTICS OF INDIAN CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
 HIGH DOMESTIC DEMAND POTENTIAL, AS THE INDIAN
MARKETS DEVELOP AND PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION LEVELS
INCREASE;
 HIGH DEGREE OF FRAGMENTATION AND SMALL SCALE OF
OPERATIONS;
 LIMITED EMPHASIS ON EXPORTS DUE TO DOMESTIC MARKET
FOCUS AND SMALLER SCALE OF OPERATIONS;
 LOW COST COMPETITIVENESS AS COMPARED TO OTHER
COUNTRIES DUE TO HIGH COST OF FEEDSTOCK & POWER,
TAXATION STRUCTURE AND COST OF CAPITAL;
 LOW FOCUS ON R&D DESPITE INITIATIVES TO INNOVATE
PROCESSES TO SYNTHESISE PRODUCTS COST EFFECTIVELY

10. 10
TRANSFORMING INDIAN CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
 LARGE PETROCHEMICAL CAPACITIES
 TREND TOWARDS OUTSOURCING OF DIFFERENT
CHEMICAL INTERMEDIATES TO INDIA
 DOMESTIC COMPANIES MOVING UP THE VALUE CHAIN
 STRINGENT ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND PRACTICES
LEADING TO SHIFTING OF PLANTS TO INDIA
