The Union Budget 2025, presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, did not introduce any specific measures for the chemical industry. Industry experts had anticipated supportive policies, including a production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme and tax incentives for chemical manufacturing hubs. However, these expectations were unmet, leading to a decline in chemical sector stocks post-budget.
The Union Budget 2025, presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, did not introduce any direct measures for the chemical sector. Industry expectations were high for government intervention, particularly through a production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme. However, no such scheme was announced in this year’s budget.
Experts had anticipated tax incentives for chemical manufacturing hubs, especially in Gujarat, which could have benefited several chemical producers. The absence of targeted measures has disappointed stakeholders in the sector.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman emphasized that the new income tax bill would simplify tax compliance and reduce litigation. The budget maintained a focus on economic growth, infrastructure, and investment while omitting specific support for the chemical industry.
The Finance Minister also reaffirmed the government's commitment to boosting manufacturing, innovation, and ease of doing business. However, the chemical industry was left out of these initiatives, with no direct announcements impacting chemical manufacturers.

Following the budget announcement, stocks of major chemical manufacturers fell, reflecting investor disappointment. Companies affected include:
Tata Chemicals
Epigral
Balaji Amines
Gujarat Fluorochemicals
Premier Explosives
PI Industries
Himadri Specialty Chemicals
These stocks declined by up to 4% post-budget. The industry had faced challenges in recent years due to sluggish global demand and increased competition from low-cost Chinese imports. Despite early signs of recovery, the lack of budgetary support has contributed to weak market sentiment for the sector.
The 2025 Union Budget did not introduce specific measures for the chemical industry. With no PLI scheme or tax incentives announced, chemical stocks reacted negatively. Industry players had anticipated relief measures amid ongoing challenges, but the budget largely overlooked their concerns. Moving forward, market performance in the chemical sector will depend on external demand recovery and possible government intervention in future policies.
