The Indian Chemical Council (ICC) is dedicated to the growth and development of the chemical industry in India. Founded in 1938 as the Indian Chemical Manufacturers Association (ICMA), by Acharya P.C Ray. it was rebranded as ICC to reflect its broader representation of the entire chemical value chain, including basic chemicals, specialty chemicals, agrochemicals, petrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
With a legacy of over eight decades, ICC plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of India's chemical industry by working closely with industry stakeholders, policymakers, regulatory authorities, academia, and international organizations. The Council is committed to promoting safe, sustainable, and globally competitive practices across the sector.
ICC is the full member of International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) and is the Nodal Agency for "Responsible Care" and "National Authority Chemical Weapons Convention" in India.
Indian Chemical Council (ICC) has been honoured with the prestigious 2024 OPCW - The Hague Award for the organization's commitment and exceptional contributions to Chemical Safety and Security towards achieving a world free of chemical weapons.
