As Per Website Details

 

The chemical industry which had been on a path of high growth since liberalisation, slowed down in FY’97. Year-on-year growth rate in Index of Industrial Production (IIP) for chemical production in FY’96. This slowdown has been attributed to a number of reasons. The overall slowdown in economy, including that of the agriculture sector has bad on impact on the chemical industry. The impact of reforms on the industry has also been severe.

 

The caustic soda industry, with a size of around Rs.36 bn, comprises around 5% of the chemical process industry in India.

 

Caustic soda is manufactured/sold in liquid (lye) or solid (flakes) form. It finds usage in diverse applications such as in the manufacture of paper, alumina, man-made and cotton fibres, soaps/detergents and a host of chemicals. Chlorine is a co-product and for every tonne of caustic soda manufactured, 0.88 tonnes of chlorine is produced. Chlorine is used in a number of applications such as in the manufacture of PVC and several other organic/inorganic chemicals.

 

Soda ash, chemically known as Sodium Carbonate is a versatile inorganic chemical with a wide variety of applications. It is largely used in the manufacture of detergents, silicates and several downstream chemicals. The domestic soda ash industry has been facing the onslaught of imports for quite some time.

 

The industry is likely to continue to be a net importer although imports may be lower in the coming year due to larger capacities in the domestic market. The competitiveness of the industry will be severely tested as import duties on the furnished products come down further and foreign major seek to establish a toehold in the country.
