To 

All The Members of the Council

Dear Member,

The council has proposed to organize India–USA Chemical Supply Chain Summit 2026 scheduled to be held at Houston, USA,  14–16 Oct 2026.

The subject event is under consideration for approval under the Market Access Support (MAS) Scheme of the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India for the year 2026-27.

CHEMEXCIL invites you to participate in the India–USA Chemical Supply Chain Summit 2026 in Houston, a focused India-centric platform designed exclusively to connect Indian chemical exporters with qualified U.S. buyers, distributors, formulators, and supply chain leaders.

Unlike generic trade events where India is just one among many country pavilions, this summit puts India at the center of the agenda. It offers structured buyer–supplier meetings, targeted sector sessions, and direct access to decision-makers who are actively looking for resilient and reliable sourcing partnerships from India.

This focused format gives exporters a far better chance to have meaningful conversations, qualify prospects faster, and convert interest into RFQs, trials, and long-term business. It is a serious commercial forum built for companies that want real market access, not just visibility.

CHEMEXCIL also wishes to highlight that participation support/subsidy assistance may be available, subject to applicable scheme guidelines and approvals, through Government of India export promotion support mechanisms such as MDA/MAI-linked participation benefits wherever eligible. CHEMEXCIL already notes that member exporters may benefit from trade delegations and buyer-seller meets organized in India or abroad under these schemes, as applicable.

We therefore strongly encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity and present your capabilities in a high-impact, India-focused forum created to advance Indian chemical exports in the U.S. market. For exporters serious about business development, this is the right platform to be seen, heard, and commercially engaged.
