7th Annual OPEX in Chemicals Summit 2025
India's chemical industry stands at a critical inflection point-rapidly evolving into a global manufacturing powerhouse. With a projected value of USD 300 billion by 2025 and ambitions to reach USD 1 trillion by 2040, the sector is one of the country's most dynamic and strategic growth engines. Contributing over 7% to the national GDP, it encompasses 80,000+ commercial products across segments such as bulk chemicals, specialty chemicals, agrochemicals, petrochemicals, polymers, dyes, and fertilizers. As the 6th largest chemical producer globally and 3rd in Asia, India is well-positioned to lead the next wave of chemical manufacturing innovation, especially in the face of global realignments in sourcing and sustainability expectations.
Amid this growth, operational excellence (OpEx) is no longer optional-it is a critical lever for ensuring competitiveness, agility, and long-term value creation. The 7th edition of the OPEX in Chemicals Summit will convene 150+ industry leaders, plant heads, CI/TPM champions, safety experts, and digital transformation officers for two days of high-impact discussions, knowledge exchange, and strategic networking.
Participants will also gain insights into how organizations are navigating talent challenges, embracing Industry 5.0, and building resilient supply chains amid volatile global markets. Whether you're focused on productivity, safety, sustainability, or digital transformation, this summit provides a powerful platform to benchmark, network, and accelerate your OpEx journey.
