AMPP India Chapter (previously NACE International India Section) was established in 1992. AMPP (NACE) India Chapter is one of the largest and most active sections of AMPP through its significant efforts for the promotion of corrosion awareness, protection and control of corrosion in India. With over 1000 members, AMPP India Chapter has organized over 210 certification courses of AMPP on CIP-1 & 2, Peer Review, CIP-2 Emphasis, Nuclear Power Plant, O-CAT, PCS-2, Basic Corrosion, Direct Assessment, Internal Corrosion for Pipeline, Refinery Corrosion Control and Cathodic Protection (CP) 1, 2, 3 & 4. It has also organized more than 225 educational corrosion awareness training programs and 30 annual corrosion conferences (CorCon) hosted by NACE International India Section.

To commemorate Corrosion Awareness Day, AMPP India Chapter awards individuals and institutions for their contributions to corrosion awareness and developments in the field of corrosion science and technology. The AMPP India Chapter sponsors student chapters, one each in Mumbai, Chennai and Vadodara, Mangalore, Bangalore. AMPP student chapters had organized “CORSYM” international corrosion conference for students. World Corrosion Awararness Day-24 April, remind the world that “Rust Never Sleeps” every year AMPP (NACE) India celebrates world corrosion day with University, Institute, Industry & NMRL DRDO, Govt. of India with technical activities / workshop.
