Chemical sector growth prospects and government schemes

India's chemicals and petrochemicals industry is currently valued at approximately $220 billion. India ranks as the sixth-largest producer of chemicals globally and the fourth-largest in Asia. These products serve sectors including pharmaceuticals, automobiles, electronics, and construction.

Production of major chemicals and petrochemicals rose from 45,638 thousand metric tonnes in 2015–16 to 58,617 thousand metric tonnes in 2024–25.

Foreign direct investment into the chemical sector reached Rs 1,04,895 crore between 2014 and 2026. This figure is more than double the Rs 45,240 crore recorded during the 2004–2014 period. The chemical sector allows 100% foreign direct investment through the automatic route, meaning investments by non-residents do not require prior government approval.
