We will discuss in this article Top 10 Chemical Companies in India based on their turnover. India has quite a diversified and well-developed chemical industry. It has market valuation of USD 180 billon in 2020. Our chemical industry ranks 6 in the world and constitutes 3% of the global chemical industry.
I have experience of 15 years chemical industries in India. Whether it is specialty, industrial or agro chemical I have been associated with their production, storage and supply. After leaving my job in the chemical industry in 2020, I started consulting.
So far I have helped many entrepreneurs to start chemical plants and oxygen plant manufacturers in India. The reason for them is obvious. And you can see for yourself that both the chemical industry and industrial gas plants did well. Now the fizz has gone out from both of them. But always remember the surge prices are temporary. So you must capitalize till you can.
