Although the global market has been greatly affected by the risk of supply chain constraints and COVID-19, there has been a significant recovery. Especially, the future for the chemical industry and other related ones is bright. In this situation, companies have started to look for new market opportunities in the global market, in which India’s economy is performing brightly.

According to India’s Chemicals (Management and Safety) Rules (ICMSR), also known as India REACH, a new, comprehensive chemicals management system will be established in India. Currently, a 5th Draft is in circulation, which expands compliance obligations relative to the current legal framework. ICMSR is expected to come into force this year. All substances will require advance notice (with additional data requirements). Full registration of 750 priority substances is required within 18 months after the rules come into force.
