Chemical Week and the Indian Chemical Council (ICC; Mumbai),
responding to India´s explosive growth, have teamed up to create the
first India Chemical Industry Outlook, to be held 15-16 April, 2008.
This event is the ONLY chemical conference in India that addresses the
full spectrum of issues impacting the country´s chemical sector at
this important moment of expansion.
The chemical industry in India is poised for rapid development in
the coming years. India´s consuming middle class and the population´s
disposable income are expanding, potentially driving growth of demand
at exponential rates; the government has set in place special economic
and investment zones for the chemical sector; and several of the
country´s chemical and oil majors have announced aggressive investment
plans.
The India Chemical Industry Outlook, to be held in Mumbai, will
take a look at key segments of the Indian chemical industry and
explore the growth opportunities and challenges in each segment.
India´s climate for mergers and acquisitions will also be examined.
Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance
Industries Limited, says, "The Indian market for petrochemicals will
increase four times in the next ten years. It will witness a sustained
double-digit growth rate. This growth would be faster than that of
China."
Peter Huntsman, President and CEO of Huntsman Corporation, notes:
"India and Russia are the next two economies after China. Our business
in India is growing at double-digit rates. Unless you have a
foundation in India today, you will be too late."
"Chemical Week is leveraging its long experience in India and
expertise in presenting events across Asia and around the globe to
bring you an impressive roster of speakers and topics at this
important event," says Lyn Tattum, Chemical Week Publisher and Group
Vice President.
Topics to be explored include:
-- Government investment zones
-- Expansion plans of domestic companies
-- The challenges of bureaucracy, labor laws, and logistics
-- Opportunities in various chemical industry segments
To find out about these topics and more, plan to attend the India
Chemical Industry Outlook scheduled for 15-16 April, 2008 in Mumbai.
