He received a fair number of Awards in India including an early Bhatnagar (at 36 years of age), GD Birla, Goyal Prizes. He received International TWAS Prize in 1998. He is the recipient of the 2021 Joel Henry Hildebrand ACS National Award from the American Chemical Society in Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry of Liquids and also the prestigious Humboldt Science Research Award of Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (2019). J. Physical Chemistry brought out a Festschrift special issue J. Phys. Chem. B, 2015, Vol.: 119, in his honour. Bagchi has published more than 500 papers including 26 reviews, authored three books on different aspects of statistical mechanics and currently writing a 4th book on nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. He has also published two non-technical books (mostly for students) available on Amazon Kindle.
