The third edition of the daylong international conference will be held in Nehru Centre, Mumbai on September 8, 2017. It is India’s first and only comprehensive knowledge and business platform for logistics of chemicals…
Producing more than 70,000 commercial products, the Indian chemical industry, including the petrochemical segment, is one of the fast growing and significant sectors of Indian economy. It constitutes around 2.11 percent of the country’s GDP. In terms of value and production volume, Indian chemical industry is the third largest producer in Asia and the seventh by output in the world.
According to the latest reports, the industry holds potential to touch the size of USD 224 billion by the turn of 2017. As far as the Indian petrochemical industry is concerned, it is a major contributor to the Indian chemical industry, and is expected to touch the height of USD 100 billion by 2020. However, both chemical and petrochemical industries’ success highly depends on the state-of-the-art supply chain management including timely, fail-safe transportation of their products in the most economic and efficient way. Thus, of late being considered as a high-potential area of cost control – leading to business efficiency and sustainability, chemical supply chain management including logistics – under Indian circumstances, has been gaining immense importance among the field professionals and the business decision makers.
