The Union Cabinet of India, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved the Bharat Audyogik Vikas Yojana Rasayan (BHAVYA Rasayan) scheme on July 24, 2026. The scheme has a total outlay of Rs 3,030 crore to establish three dedicated chemical parks over five years (FY2026-27 to FY2030-31). The central government will provide up to Rs 1,000 crore per park, with state governments contributing at least Rs 500 crore each. The parks will be selected via a challenge route and must be on a minimum contiguous area of 8 sq km. They will feature plug-and-play infrastructure including common effluent treatment plants, hazardous waste management, water supply, solvent recovery, steam generation, pipelines, and logistics facilities. The scheme aims to strengthen India's chemical manufacturing ecosystem, attract investment, boost exports, reduce import dependence, and generate employment. It is aligned with the Atmanirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat 2047 visions.
