The government has officially notified a Rs 3,030-crore scheme to build three mega chemical parks — a move aimed at fixing one of the weakest links in India's chemicals story: infrastructure.

This scheme is the government's attempt to change that equation from the ground up.
What the Rs 3,030-crore chemical parks scheme promises
Under the notified scheme, the government will allocate Rs 3,030 crore for developing three mega chemical parks. By design, these are large integrated clusters where companies share common facilities — land development, utilities, effluent treatment, storage and logistics.
