Chaired the 'Manthan Shivir' organised by the Department of Chemicals & Petrochemicals in New Delhi today. This day-long event provided a valuable platform to deliberate on the long-term development of the Indian Chemical and Petrochemical sector.

Discussions were held around six critical themes: Infrastructure Development; Sustainability, Recycling & Circular Economy; Trade Remedial Measures; Boosting Manufacturing Towards Viksit Bharat; Skilled Workforce & Training; and the Road Map for a Future-Ready Plastic Industry.

I commend the Department for organising such a timely and thoughtful event. These collaborative discussions are crucial to transforming our sector and realizing Hon. PM Shri @narendramodi ji's vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047.
