In recent times, it is being increasingly realized by the Indian chemical industries that they have to focus on areas of strength, that would enable them to be globally competitive and forge ahead. Obviously, agro chemical based products, which are eco friendly and increasingly preferred by the cross section of health conscious and environmentally conscious consumers around the world, would be the areas of strength for the Indian chemical industry, if the project would be suitably identified and implemented at competitive standards.
