Executive Director, Vipul Organics Limited Mihir V. Shah said that the Budget is likely to be a growth-oriented budget since the focus of the Government has been on it for some time now. “We hope that the industry benefits from the policies laid out in the budget,” he added.
The Chemicals industry in India which contributes around 10 percent to the GDP needs to be given prominence in the budget. The Indian manufacturers have been asking for stringent anti-dumping duty protocols to ensure that the industry continues to be a growth driver in the India story, he said.
Production Linked Incentives (PLI) that are available to several industries should also be made available to the Chemical Industry in this Budget. This should be applicable to existing as well as greenfield projects, Shah said.
To achieve economies of scale in chemical production to compete with the global manufacturers, the government should, in this budget, earmark grants for providing infrastructure such as land banks, common effluent treatment plants, etc. Only then can the industry focus on innovation and technology and not worry about cutting corners to meet global demand and global prices, he said.
