HS chapter 29Chemicals & pharmaModerate
Organic chemicals
India depends heavily on China for organic chemicals and drug intermediates (KSMs and APIs). Bulk petrochemicals need refinery-scale plants, but specialty intermediates and fine chemicals can be started at mid scale by people with chemistry or process experience.
India imported ₹2.24 lakh cr of organic chemicals in FY26, growing about 9% a year over five years. This chapter has 42 products you could make locally.
