INTRODUCTION TO CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

 India is the sixth largest producer of chemicals in the world and contributes 3.4% to the
global chemical industry. The chemicals industry is a knowledge intensive as well as capital
intensive industry. It includes basic chemicals and its products, petrochemicals, fertilizers,
paints, varnishes, gases, soaps, perfumes, toiletry and pharmaceuticals. The diversification
within the chemical industry is large and covers more than 80,000 commercial products. The
industry is the main stay of industrial and agricultural development and provides building
blocks for several downstream industries, such as textiles, papers, paints, varnishes, soaps,
detergents, pharmaceuticals, etc.

The production of Total Major Chemicals and Petrochemicals in 2019-20 (up to September
2019) was 13,871 thousand MT. Total Chemicals and Petrochemicals registered a CAGR of
4.78% in production during the period 2014-15 to 2018-19. The current per capita
consumption of chemical products in India is one-tenths of the global average indicating that
demand has potential to grow due to rising population, and increasing disposable income.

The demand for credit in India’s Chemicals sector is largely dependent on bank credit due to
its capital-intensive nature of operations. As of FY20, the metals sector contributes 6.4% or
USD 27 billion (INR 2,056.6 billion) of the total credit outstanding under Industrial category
in India. Furthermore, Chemical sector has a Gross NPA of 6.9% of total advances during
FY-20, which is the lowest among the total industrial credit in India during the same period.
Good repayment track and the healthy overall total shareholder returns, along with large
capacity addition plans on account of lower tax and the Government policy support bode well
for the bank credit growth towards Indian chemicals industry.

Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda,[1][2] is an inorganic compound with
the formula NaOH. It is a white solid ionic compound consisting of sodium cations Na+ and
hydroxide anions OH.
As one of the simplest hydroxides, sodium hydroxide is frequently utilized alongside neutral
water and acidic hydrochloric acid to demonstrate the pH scale to chemistry students.

POSITION OF CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

 At World Level:

Chemicals made on the largest of scales are made in a few manufacturing locations
around the world, for example in Texas and Louisiana along the Gulf Coast of the
United States, on Teesside (United Kingdom), and in Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
The large-scale manufacturing locations often have clusters of manufacturing units
that share utilities and large-scale infrastructure such as power stations, port facilities,
road and rail terminals. To demonstrate the clustering and integration mentioned
above, some 50% of the United Kingdom's petrochemical and commodity chemicals
are produced by the Northeast of England Process Industry Cluster on Teesside.

Specialty chemical and fine chemical manufacturing are mostly made in discrete
batch processes. These manufacturers are often found in similar locations but in many
cases, they are to be found in multi sector business parks.

In the U.S. there are 170 major chemical companies. They operate internationally
with more than 2,800 facilities outside the U.S. and 1,700 foreign subsidiaries or
affiliates operating. The U.S. chemical output is $750 billion a year. The U.S. industry
records large trade surpluses and employs more than a million people in the United
States alone. The chemical industry is also the second largest consumer of energy in
manufacturing and spends over $5 billion annually on pollution abatement.

In Europe, the chemical, plastics, and rubber sectors are among the largest industrial
sectors. [citation needed] Together they generate about 3.2 million jobs in more than
60,000 companies. Since 2000 the chemical sector alone has represented 2/3 of the
entire manufacturing trade surplus of the EU.

In 2012, the chemical sector accounted for 12% of the EU manufacturing industry's
added value. Europe remains world's biggest chemical trading region with 43% of the
world's exports and 37% of the world's imports, although the latest data shows that
Asia is catching up with 34% of the exports and 37% of imports. Even so, Europe still
has a trading surplus with all regions of the world except Japan and China where in
2011 there was a chemical trade balance. Europe's trade surplus with the rest of the
world today amounts to 41.7 billion Euros.

PAGE NO:6

Over the 20 years between 1991 and 2011, the European Chemical industry saw its
sales increase 295 billion Euros to 539 billion Euros, a picture of constant growth.
Despite this, the European industry's share of the world chemical market has fallen
 from 36% to 20%. This has resulted from the huge increase production and sales in
the emerging markets like India and China
The data suggest that 95% of this impact is from China alone. In 2012 the data from
the European Chemical Industry Council shows that five European countries account
for 71% of the EU's chemicals sales. These are Germany, France, United Kingdom,
Italy and the Netherlands.

The chemical industry has seen growth in China, India, Korea, the Middle East, South
East Asia, Nigeria and Brazil. The growth is driven by changes in feedstock
availability and price, labor and energy costs, differential rates of economic growth
and environmental pressures.

 At India Level:

The chemical industry of India is a major contributor to the Indian economy,

contributing 7% of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). India's chemical
industry ranks as sixth largest in world, and third in Asia. The value of the chemical
industry in India was estimated at 100 billion dollars in 2019. The chemical industry
of India generates employment for five million people.

The Indian chemical industry produces 80,000 different chemical products. India was
also the third largest producer of plastic in 2019. As of September 2019, the alkali
chemical industry produced 71% of all chemicals produced in India.

India's chemical industry accounts about 14% of production in Indian industries.

The India chemical industry is divided into six sub-segments. These sub-segments are
Basic Organic Chemicals, Specialty Chemicals, Chlor-alkali, Pesticides, Dyestuff,
and alcohol-based chemicals. India is a major producer of basic organic chemicals.
The Indian chemical industry mainly produces basic types of chemicals as well as
knowledge type chemicals and specialty type chemicals as of 2018.In India, Gujarat
was the largest state contributor to the chemical industry of India in 2018.India also
produces products related to petrochemicals, fertilizers, paints, varnishes, glass,
perfumes, toiletries, pharmaceuticals, etc.

 At Gujarat Level:
Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited (GSFC) is an Indian manufacturer of
fertilizers and Industrial Chemicals. GSFC was founded in 1962. Oil and gas
discovered in Bombay High and South Basin triggered the birth of 8 new generation
fertilizer plants to fulfill the growing food needs of India.

The company is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange with the Security Code
500690, and as at 7 August 2021, it had a market capitalization of Rs 4840 crore.
GSFC maintains its headquarters in Vadodara in the state of Gujarat, on the
Ahmedabad Vadodara Expressway. Its manufacturers plastics, nylons, fibers,
industrial gases and varied chemicals including urea, ammonia, ammonium sulfate,
sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid & diammonium phosphate, Caprolactam, Melamine,
Methanol.

In 1976, GSFC entered into a joint venture with the State Government of Gujarat by
setting up a plant in Bharuch which trades as Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers &
Chemicals Limited.

IMPORTANCE OF CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

Chemical Industries are the prime factors to convert the raw materials into desired
products that we use in our day-to-day life. ... Food Industry thrives for the reason,
that the preservatives not only help them to maintain the quality of the food, but also
helps them to import food to different parts of the world.

Chemical Industries are the prime factors to convert the raw materials into desired
products that we use in our day-to-day life. This has brought a tremendous change in
the way the things operate. It is very important for us to understand the importance of
the chemical industry which has touched all our facets of life like Agriculture,
Environment, Food, Hygiene, Décor, and Transportation …etc. It has also
significantly used in re-cycling industries to curb the usage of virgin products. Re-
cycling helps a lot in utilizing the waste materials, and gives one more life-cycle for
the products.

Chemicals play a major role in our food. The preservatives, taste enhancers and flavors help
the food to be palatable and increase the shelf life. Food Industry thrives for the reason, that
the preservatives not only help them to maintain the quality of the food, but also helps them to
import food to different parts of the world.

the management of digital documents such systems are based on computer programs.
 2.Manual Recording: - A manual system is a bookkeeping system where records are
maintained by hand, without using a computer system. Instead, transactions are written in
journals, from which the information is manually rolled up into a set of financial statements.

Grasim Industries uses certain strategies to reduce the cost of the company

1. Cost Focused Approach: - One of the lowest cost producer of chemicals globally,
they have achieved it through backward integration of key input materials. They
continue to target fixed costs through multiple cost optimization measures. Their
plants are deployed with state-of-the-art technology, which provides operational
efficiencies leading to lower costs and benchmark quality.

2. Return-Based Approach: - Competitive cost of production and value-added product

mix in the portfolio led to better margin profile and higher ROCE. They focus on
providing resources to their growing business in such a way that they can generate
adequate return and therefore reduces their costs.

3. Waste water management: - Grasim Industries (chemical division) water

management technique is that waste water which is generated while producing their
chlorine is than processed and then that processed water is send to their (Fiber plant)
in that their processed water is used in making fiber products which saves lots of cost
of using water and also not use too much of water which saves environment.

4. Low Advertisement cost: - Grasim Industries are very popular and in demand
company so they do not need to advertise too much of their products. They use Media
to advertise their products which saves lot of marketing cost and is very effective too.

and meetings.

did not have the permission to give information.
