In the spirit of the Amrit Mahotsav, CHEMICALS@75 will be dedicated to companies, brands, and personalities who have and will play revolutionary roles in activating the vision ‘India 2.0’ fuelled by the spirit of Atma Nirbhar Bharat. At the same time, it will also dwell on matters that concern the sector in unleashing its potential, for the country, for businesses, and for the people.

The earlier two editions of Chemical Industry Outlook have received a tremendous response and participation from the industry. The print and digital version of the Compendium were widely promoted, circulated and referred to by the key stakeholders including Government, Industry Associations, Think Tanks, and Industry at large. 

The ICN Chemical Industry Outlook Compendium 2023 will be released in April 2023 and select copies of the same will be distributed to key industry stakeholders during the event. The print version shall also be distributed throughout the year at various exhibitions and conferences to be held in India.

The 2023 edition will focus on “India @75: Looking Back, Looking Ahead”. This Edition is focused on past achievements and also on future roadmap.

Sharing the thought process behind the Chemical Industry Outlook 2023, Pravin Prashant, Editor, Indian Chemical News stated, “The third edition of Chemical Industry Outlook will highlight the achievements made by the Indian chemical industry in the last 75 years yet at the same time offer a reflective space for the stakeholders to access, think and get ready for the future. We are hopeful that it will receive an overwhelming response as witnessed with the past two editions.
