India Speciality Chemicals Conclave - Speciality Chemicals for Economic Growth and Job Creation

India’s specialty chemicals sector has become one of the fastest-growing parts of the overall chemical industry. With rising global demand, supply chain diversification, and a move away from traditional manufacturing hubs, India has established itself as a dependable and competitive option. Government policies are also helping the sector grow. Initiatives like Make in India, production-linked incentive schemes have encouraged both Indian and foreign players to manufacture in India. Recent FTA’s negotiations have given significant impetus to India exports to specialty chemicals especially to North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Government support and policy actions were widely seen as crucial for industry growth. The role of production-linked incentive (PLI) schemes, reforms to make business easier, and investments in industrial infrastructure were recognized as key factors. Meanwhile, industry leaders called for clearer regulations, quicker approvals, and stronger cooperation between all stakeholders to keep the momentum going.

The India Specialty Chemicals Conclave 2026 is an important event in the ongoing growth of the country’s chemical industry.  The Conclave will stress the need for innovation, export led growth, use of new age chemicals in sunrise sectors, safety standards for process improvement with energy-efficient & sustainable practices.
