💡 Analyst Note

India's major chemicals sector has demonstrated robust growth over the past decade. Total installed capacity grew from 13,456 thousand MT in 2016-17 to 17,649 thousand MT in 2024-25 (CAGR 3.4%). Production rose from 10,234 to 13,983 thousand MT (CAGR 3.4%), while exports surged at a CAGR of 9.4% to reach 2,807 thousand MT. Pesticides have been a standout performer, with exports growing at 7.4% CAGR and imports at 8.0%, reflecting India's growing role as a global agrochemical hub. Organic chemicals remain import-dependent, with imports reaching 5,100 thousand MT in 2024-25, driven by feedstock requirements. Capacity utilization across groups has been moderate, averaging around 79% in 2024-25, indicating scope for expansion and investment.
