Additional B2B meetings and networking reception (14-15 April).

In 2018 India was a net importer of speciality chemicals.

Demand for higher value speciality intermediates and formulations to supply India’s growing need for consumer goods, combined with Prime Minister Modi’s “Make in India” initiative, has fuelled interest in the sector, and increasingly we are seeing requests from Indian manufacturers and distributors for UK sourced ingredients.

The Department for International Trade (DIT), in collaboration with Santander, Chemical Industries Association (CIA), and the British High Commission in Mumbai, is offering UK businesses the opportunity to visit Chemspec India, India’s leading international exhibition for the Fine and Speciality Chemicals industry.

With free access to DIT’s networking stand, and the opportunity to participate in a tailored programme of business meetings, and high-level networking events, this visit offers unrivalled access to India’s chemicals buyers.

Estimated costs:

• Flights approximately £900;
• Accommodation can be secured by HM High Commission in Mumbai for approximately £120 per night; and
• Eligible companies may be able to access matched funding via their regional international trade teams to support the visit.

Interested businesses should contact Alastair Gardner (Alastair.gardner@trade.gov.uk,
