GOVERNMENTINITIATIVES

2PCPIRs are specifically delineated investment regions with an area for theestablishment of manufacturing facilities for domestic and export-led productionin petroleum, chemicals & petrochemicals, along with the associated services and infrastructure. Government has approved 4 PCPIRs in the state of Andhra Pradesh (Vishakhapatnam), Gujarat (Dahej), Odisha (Paradeep) andTamil Nadu (Cuddalore and Naghapattinam). Once fully established the PCPIRsare expected to attract investments worth INR 7.63 lakh crore (USD 107 Bn) and employment generation (direct and indirect) is expected to be around33.96 lakh persons (3 Mn).

Petroleum, Chemical and PetrochemicalInvestment Regions (PCPIRs):

1100% FDI allowed under the automatic route in Chemicals sector except a fewhazardous chemicals.

100%FDI

Central Institute of Plastics Engineering and Technology (CIPET): 29 CIPET’s have been set up across India under the Department of Chemicals.The main objective of setting up of the institute is to develop manpower in different disciplines of Plastics Engineering & Technology as no similar institute was in existence in the country.

Chemicals Promotion and Development Scheme (CPDS):Under the CPDS, the Government provides Grant-in-aid for the creation of knowledge products through studies, survey, databank, promotion materials etc. to facilitate development of the sector.

CoE (Centres of Excellence) in the field of Petrochemicals:Provision of Grant-in-aid to educational/research institutes for setting up CoEs with a view to improve existing petrochemicals technology and promote development of new applications of polymers and plastics.
