CHEMEXCIL Urges Timely Data Sharing on ChemIndia Portal

New Delhi, Jul 8 (PTI) Chemicals exporters body CHEMEXCIL on Tuesday said it has asked the industry players to share relevant data with ChemIndia web portal to comply with a government order.

Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers in February mandated that all registered chemical and petrochemical industries/units in India (with a few exemptions) submit data on the portal, the apex body for chemical exports said.

CHEMEXCIL (Basic Chemicals, Cosmetics and Dyes Export Promotion Council) added that non-compliance with the mandatory data submission requirements is a violation under the Collection of Statistics Act, 2008, as amended by the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2023.

To educate and ensure timely and accurate data submission from the chemical industry, the council organised a day-long workshop in Mumbai on July 7.

"The workshop aimed to create awareness and prepared industry for timely and accurate data submission on the portal," it added.

The workshop witnessed participation of 115 delegates from the industry, comprising exporters, manufacturers, and industry stakeholders who were keen to understand the operational aspects and compliance requirements of the portal.

Raghuveer Kini, Director General, CHEMEXCIL, said the move would help streamline regulatory data and enhance transparency across the chemical sector.
