Chemicals and Fertilizers Minister D V Sadanand Gowda has said that the Indian chemical industry has an opportunity to attract investment of about Rs 10 lakh crore by 2025 and creating jobs for lakhs of persons, as the country offers a location advantage. He said coupled with enormous opportunities and high potential of the Indian chemical industry, makes it a preferred investment destination globally.
Gowda said India as a market also offers a location advantage as the Indian peninsula is centrally located between the East and West of Asia. It is also the centre of the trans-Indian ocean routes, which connect the European countries in the west and counties of East Asia. Further, he said the changing geopolitical scenario and realignment of global supply chain preference from China to elsewhere can provide India with a platform for converting challenges into opportunities.
The minister also mentioned that the 2021-22 budget announcement has been highly encouraging for the chemical and petrochemical sectors. He noted that announcements such as production linked schemes for key end-use sectors, doubling of outlay for micro-irrigation, emphasis on infrastructure spending, reduction in import duty on feedstock such as Naphtha, an increase in import duty on builder ware of plastic and polycarbonate have set the tone for the rapid growth of the sector in the years to come. Stating that the government has initiated a host of structural reforms in the sector in the last few years, he said the government on a consistent basis is taking measures to provide impetus in the chemical sector.
