IPCA, Indian Paint & Coating Association is one of the young and dynamic associations, which represents both the organized and unorganized sector in the paint and coating industry. In 2004, in an attempt to improve communication and to coordinate industry policy on matters of national and international concern, the Indian Paint & Coating was formed.
Over the last several years common issues facing the paint and coating industries have increased significantly. While it is always a constant challenge for each individual to manage the myriad of domestic regulations, it has also become increasingly difficult to interpret the potential impact of foreign issues on our businesses. IPCA is endeavoring to help out the people across the Paint and Coating fraternity in making businesses better and more profitable. It is also its bounden goal to encourage brotherhood and cooperation amongst its members & the coating fraternity.
IPCA has been in the fore-front of organizing path-breaking events benefitting the paint and coating industry. Along with Technical Seminars, Regional Residential Conferences and Mega Biennials (at Agra (2005), Kathmandu(2007), Jaipur(2009), Bangkok(2011), Amritsar(2013), Goa(2015), Jaipur(2017)). IPCA has also organized technical workshops with Certificate courses in Coating Technology cooperating with Colour Society – Mumbai, IIT – Delhi, MSME, Government of India and IICT – Hyderabad. IPCA often acts as a bridge between the academia, manufacturers and corporates to impart knowledge through Training Sessions and problem solving. This kind of core technical input from an industry body has catapulted IPCA into a different league altogether.
The experience and wisdom of the wise and experienced needs to be shared and not hoarded. IPCA’s goal of serving the members and facilitating disbursement of wisdom and knowledge in unison resulted in the creation of the series of seminars aptly named “Knowledge Sharing Seminars” (KSS). Our regional bodies regularly organize these KSS wherein topics are chosen on the basis of feedback we receive from the regional members or our perception of need of audience or for that matter, an important and relevant breakthrough in technology or new laws being enacted.
IPCA actively liaisons with the Government for favorable policies for its members and the Coating Industry. It is suitably represented on various committees like GST, MSME, BIS etc. It gives regular proposals during the Budget making exercises o the Central Govt. in New Delhi.
About IPCA TamilNadu
Tamilnadu is the southernmost state of India. The tenth largest Indian state by area and the sixth largest by population, Tamil Nadu is the home of the Tamil people, who speak the Tamil language—the state’s official language and one of the longest surviving classical languages of the world. The capital and largest city is Chennai.
Tamil Nadu is bound by the Indian states of Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, and encloses a part of the union territory of Puducherry. It shares an international maritime border with the Northern Province of Sri Lanka at Pamban Island.
The economy of the state consistently exceeded national average growth rates, due to reform-oriented economic policies in the 1970s. As of December 2023, Tamil Nadu’s GSDP was ₹27.22 trillion (US$320 billion), second highest amongst Indian states, which had grown significantly from ₹2.19 trillion (US$26 billion) in 2004. The per-capita NDSP is ₹315,220 (US$3,700). Tamil Nadu is the most urbanized state in India. Though the state had the lowest percentage of people under the poverty line, rural unemployment rate is considerably higher at 47 per thousand compared to the national average of 28. As of 2020, the state had the most number of factories at 38,837 units with an engaged work-force of 2.6 million.
The state has a diversified industrial base anchored by different sectors including automobiles, software services, hardware, textiles, healthcare and financial services. As of 2022, services contributed to 55% of the GSDP followed by manufacturing at 32% and agriculture at 13%.There are 42 Special Economic Zones (SEZ) in the state. As per a report by Government of India, Tamil Nadu is the most export competitive state of India in 2023.
Tamil Nadu has strong potential in the Paint sector, with its skilled workforce, advanced manufacturing facilities, and growing market demand.
We proud to launch the Tamil Nadu Region as the 12th chapter of the Indian Paint & Coatings Association (IPCA). This new chapter is a big step forward in supporting Tamil Nadu’s paint and coatings industry, which is home to a wide network of manufacturers, raw material suppliers, and allied businesses.
The IPCA Tamil Nadu Region will work closely with industry members to create opportunities for networking, knowledge sharing, and business growth.
By connecting local businesses to national and global platforms, we aim to strengthen the industry’s presence, promote innovation, and ensure long-term success for everyone in the Tamil Nadu paints and coatings ecosystem.
