The Indian Chemical Industry is an integral component of the Indian Economy and the role of chemical industry will be more poignant and intense during the years to come with several downstream industries. Though the chemical industry grew by leaps and bounds after the II World War, the regulatory mechanism for its growth was introduced only in the seventies in the country. The rapid changes in the business environment due to technological advancement, social behavioural pattern and globalization with World Trade Organisation (WTO) assuming an increasing role are causing deep concern to the chemical industry to meet the challenges of stringent economic and environmental Laws which may come into force from time to time in the coming years.
