Government Launches Chemical Sector Statistical Data Portal to Promote Industry Efficiency

The Indian government has introduced a web portal aimed at providing valuable statistical information concerning the chemical sector to all interested parties. This portal, accessible at www.charak.chemicals.gov.in, serves as a platform for gathering data on various aspects of the chemical industry, including production, installed capacity, exports, imports, purchases, and sales. The Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers made this announcement.

The web portal, a collaborative effort between the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals and the National Informatics Centre, was unveiled at a workshop organized by the industry association FICCI in New Delhi. The Department plans to conduct similar workshops in several cities, such as Vadodara, Vapi, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Bhubaneswar, and Hyderabad, during October and November. The primary goal of this portal is to enhance the chemical and petrochemical industries by streamlining data collection, promoting efficiency, and granting access to the latest industry innovations and technological advancements.

Furthermore, the portal will empower users, researchers, educators, and policymakers to generate quick visual representations and comprehensive reports tailored to the specific requirements of the chemical sector. This initiative will establish a support system for promoting industry best practices, establish an accurate inventory of chemical data, and provide geographical data support to various stakeholders, including policymakers, affiliated industries, researchers, and educators, as stated in the release.
