The Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT) Mumbai was built up as the Department of Chemical Technology on first October, 1933 by the University of Mumbai, through dynamic backing of businesses and altruists. The Institute was most prominently known as UDCT, Mumbai. Research has been an essential piece of ICT since its origin and it has made more than 500 original business people. The UDCT became altogether in stature and was conceded self-sufficiency under UGC controls by the University of Mumbai and further changed over into an Institute on 26th January, 2002.

Under the World Bank TEQIP program, the Maharashtra government allowed it full independence in June 2004. Because of the proposals of the Government of Maharashtra and University of Mumbai, the ICT was allowed Deemed University Status by the MHRD on twelfth September, 2008, with all procurements of the UGC for financing and backing as the state claimed considered college.
