The paper examines 5407 Indian publications in catalysis research, as covered in Scopus database during 2006–15, using a series of bibliometric indicators. Catalysis research in the world is dominated mainly by 10 main countries including China, USA, Japan, India, Germany, France, South Korea, Iran, Spain and U.K. which together accounted for as much as 82.45% of the global publication share in catalysis research output during 2006–15. China is the world leader in catalysis research (28.12% global share) followed far behind by USA (14.93% global share). India is ranked 4th top country in the world in catalysis research for its global share of 5.94% in 10 years during 2006–15. India's collaboration on catalysis research was the largest with the USA accounting for 22.54% ICP share, followed by Japan (17.01%), South Korea (13.22%), and 12 other countries during 2006–15. India registered faster annual growth in catalysis research (10.8%) compared to 5.78% by the total world countries. India's citation impact in catalysis research in 10 years averaged to 24.30 citations per paper. India contributed only 50 cited papers which registered 100 or more citations per paper, averaging citation impact to 141.56 citations per paper. The leading Indian organizations in highly cited papers are: IICT-Hyderabad (11 papers), NCL-Pune and University of Delhi (4 papers each), NSC-Bangalore, NT-New Delhi and NIPER-Mohali (3 papers each), etc. Catalysis research in India mainly chemistry oriented which contributed the largest share (68.24%) during 2006–15.
