EDIBLE OIL REFINERY UNIT

 

Indian edible oil industry is composed of some 15,000 oil mills, 600 solvent extraction units, 250 vanaspati units and over 600 refining units. These employ over a million people.With around 8% of world oilseeds production, over 7% of global protein meal production, around 4% of world oil meal export, total oilseeds production of 23 mn tonne and 5.6 mn tonne of edible oil production, India is the fourth largest edible oil economy in the world valued at USD 16.5 bn (Rs 660 bn). India has a share of nearly 6% of global vegetable oil production, nearly 11% of global vegetable oil imports and 9% of global edible oil consumption. And yet over 40% of the edible oil availability in the market is sourced from imports. The edible oil segment is currently undergoing a metamorphosis as a result of spiralling prices of soft oils - sunflower and soyabean. Premium branded vegetable oil makers are expanding their product portfolio to include less-upmarket oils from cottonseed, groundnut or even palmolein in consumer packs. India has a potential to produce about 1.50 mn tonne of rice bran oil. Of this potential, only half or 750,000 tonne, is produced. Some 200,000 tonne of oil is being used as refined rice bran oil for cooking. The rest is used in vanaspati. There are some 30 plants refining crude rice bran oil.

 

ANIMAL FEED FROM BAGASSE

 

Cattle feed is a peculiar product consumed mainly by cattle owners of rural area. Animal industrial enterprises in all area and so, the market for cattle feed is very scattered. The consumers are living by and large in poverty and so they have hardly enough finances to spare for cattle feed. Yet cattles are the only source of earring in many cases and to increase their own earning they try to spend upon cattles as much as possible. Unawareness about the product and its importance should also be looked after. The benefits of this scientifically prepared cattle feed over traditional feed has become as popular as they should be. The problem is much of replacing unscientific feeding system with scientific feed. India has the largest cattle, buffalo and goat population according to latest census. There are about 200 million cattle, 50 million buffaloes and 90 million goats in the country. About one sixth of the cattle, about half of buffalo and one fifth of goat population in world are in India. Animal husbandry plays an important role in the national life and accounts for about 10% of the national income. In particular the contributor of the cattle and buffalo to the economy is considerable. They are the main source of drought power in agricultural operations and rural transportation they provide essential, foods like milk and meal.

 

CATTLE & POULTRY FEED

 

India has the largest cattle, buffalo and goat population according to latest census. There are about 200 million cattle, 50 million buffaloes and 90 million goats in the country. About one sixth of the cattle, about half of buffalo and one fifth of goat population in world are in India. Animal husbandry plays an important role in the national life and accounts for about 10% of the national income. In particular the contributor of the cattle and buffalo to the economy is considerable. They are the main source of drought power in agricultural operations and rural transportation they provide essential, foods like milk and meal.The feed for the poultry is made up of two portions the concentrate and the balance, consisting of various grains and rice (and wheat) bran upto 20 per cent of other local by-products.The packaging of compound feeds by most units in India is in brand new funny bags, but some are using polythene-lined bags, which are very handy for export purpose.With animal feed plant coming up in high cities especially in Chennai, Kolkata and Mumbai and producing top quality poultry cattle feeds and with the resource available to these manufacturing units it is certain that animal feeds produced in India will find and instant market in the neighbouring countries. It is expected that in the next few years the animal feed industry in India would rank among the major industries of India and will be able to help the animal production programme in various countries around the world.Poultry feed is needed to produce poultry, a substantial part of the food industry. The size of the food industry depends on population, which is not constant. If today's trends continue, there is likely to be further rapid deterioration in mans environment. A fantastic world effort over the next decade at changing the altitude of people towards family size night conceivably arrest population at 2 or 3 times its present level. Some biologists feel the compulsory family regulation will be necessary to limit production. World population is exploding. More children are being born, many diseases have been cured, and the life span is increasing. Industries playing increasing roles in the struggle against world hunger include the poultry industry, which require less capital to enter than other animal industries, and the feed industry, which provides economical, feeds upon which the poultry industry depends.

 

SILICA FROM RICE HUSK ASH

 

Precipitated Silica is used as filler for paper & rubber as a carrier & diluents for agricultural chemicals, as an anti caking agent, to control viscosity & thickness and as molecular sieves. So, we can better understand the growing demand of precipitated silica by seeing the demand of the following industries.Silicon is a unique material. Its abundance is one of the reasons it is used for a wide range of purposes.  One of the most important uses of silicon is as a core element of microchips.  To manufacture microchips, the microelectronics industry requires silicon with an impurity level of 10^–11. Since silicon forms a stable compound with oxygen (silicon oxide, SiO₂), the deoxidization of silicon oxide needed to reach this high level of purity consumes a substantial amount of energy, which, in turn, affects the environment through emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂).Bulk silicon wafers used at the beginning of the integrated circuit making process must first be refined to "nine nines" purity (99.9999999%), a process which requires repeated applications of refining technology. The silicon demand by the PV cell industry can be estimated using the available amount of silicon in combination with the amount of silicon needed to produce 1 MWp of solar cells. Global production of rice, the majority of which is grown in Asia is approximately 550 million tonnes/year. This is generated at a rate of about 20% of the weight of the product rice, or some 110 million tonnes per year globally. The husk in turn contains between 15 and 20% of mineral matter the majority of which is amorphous silica. There is a growing demand for finely divided amorphous silica in the production of high strength, low permeability concrete, for use in bridges, marine environments, and nuclear power plants. This market is currently filled by silica fume. Limited supply and high demand has pushed the price of silica fume to as much as US$ 1,000/tonne in some market. Rice husk has the potential to generate 16.5 to 22 million tonnes of ash containing over 90% amorphous silica that could be used as a substitute for silica fume. The husk has energy content of about 14 GJ/tonne so that the energy potential worldwide would be some 1.5 billion GJ/year, which at US$ 5/GJ would have an annual value of US$ 7.5 billion. This amount of energy is equivalent to over 1 billion barrels of oil per year.

 

DEHYDRATED ONIONS

 

Onion is an important vegetable crop grown in India and forms a part of daily diet in almost all households throughout the year. India is the second largest producer of onion in the world 7 onion is one of the most important but perishable groups known. It is also used for medical purpose. But due to non-availability of appropriate post-harvest storage facilities, 20-25% of the total produced onions are wasted, which in terms of value amounts to crores of rupees. Unprocessed foods are susceptible to spoilage by biochemical processes, microbial attack and infestation. The right post harvest practices such as good processing techniques, and proper packaging, transportation and storage (of even processed foods) can play a significant role in reducing spoilage and extending shelf life. The industry consists of segments like processed fruits and vegetables, cereal based products, dairy products, meat, poultry and fishery products, beverages and confectionary. The global processed food market is estimated at $3.2 trillion. The Indian food market is estimated at $182 billion. Food processing industry in India is growing at 14% annum. The total food production in India is likely to double in the next ten years and there is an opportunity for large investments in food and food processing technologies.The Indian government has formulated Vision 2015, to triple the size of the food processing industry, from the current $ 70 b to around $ 210 b, enhancing her global share to 3%, increasing value addition to 35%, from the current 20% and raising the level of processing of perishables to 20%.

 

 

SANITARY PADS/NAPKINS

 

The Industry in India is of recent origin. The first unit is to manufacture viscous napkin filament yarn. Sanitary napkins have an important place in women's history and in the history of technology. 19th Century research into disposable sanitary napkins marked the humble beginnings of a new era of gynecological sanitary. Disposable Sanitary Napkins appeared in Germany as early as the 1880s but were unavailable to American women because of the Comstock Laws. Women protection during their “critical” days is not a problem in a modern world. Great variety of different types of sanitary facilities is provided on the market. Sanitary facilities obviously don’t cause any significant environmental impact during use, but they do during production as well as final waste utilization stages. If somebody would like to make choice among them relying not only on prices and personal preferences but also on environmental friendliness of the product, life cycle assessment should be the main instrument designed to assess product’s environmental impact and compare different types of sanitary facilities referring to this assessment. Hindustan Lever (now Hindustan Unilever), Johnson & Johnson and Procter & Gamble have been the lead players in sanitary napkins market. The Unilever-Kimberly Clark joint venture had earlier entered the Indian market with its brand, Kotex, in competition with the market leader, Whisper of Proctor & Gamble.Until 1993, belted sanitary napkins were the largest segment. In that segment, Johnson & Johnson's Carefree con-trolled about half the market. Along with its beltless brand, Stayfree, its share could be estimated at around 75%. Beltless napkins now have catapulted to a share of over 70% of the market. Johnson's overall market share is down to 46% and P&G has gained a penetration of 43%. Kimberly Clark had launched upgraded Whisper with Wings brand, priced only 5% higher than the regular Whisper brand. After the launch of Whisper Extra Dry from Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson came in with Stayfree Spirit.

 

IGCSE School (Nursery to Senior Secondary)

 

 

The International General Certificate of Secondary Education is an international qualification for school students. IGCSE is developed by university of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) in 1988 and is currently offered as a qualification by CIE and London Examination (Edexcel International).A Cambridge education is beyond purely learning facts.  Instead, we support schools to develop students who are confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged.  The increasing number of students taking our qualifications in India shows that schools are aware of the value of this approach and the importance of an international education in today's global economy. University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) is the world’s largest provider of international qualifications. Around 1.5 million students from 150 countries enter Cambridge examinations every year. Cambridge IGCSE is the world’s most popular international curriculum for 14-16 year olds, leading to globally recognised and valued Cambridge IGCSE qualifications. Compulsory State education begins at 5 years but permissive legislation allows local Education Authorities to build also for children of 3.5 years, either in separate building or in nursery groups attached to primary schools. Schools worldwide have helped develop Cambridge IGCSE, which provides excellent preparation for the Cambridge Advanced stage including Cambridge International AS and A Levels and Cambridge Pre-U, as well as other progression routes. It incorporates the best in international education for learners at this level. It develops in line with changing needs, and is regularly updated and extended. Cambridge IGCSE teachers can draw on excellent resources, training and advice from subject experts. The IGCSE is an international alternative to many popular national curricula. However, unlike many school-leaving qualifications, the IGCSE is not a group award or "certificate of education" as in many countries. It is a qualification based on individual subjects of study, meaning one receives an "IGCSE" qualification for each subject one takes. For this reason, schools worldwide have different expectations for their students as to how many IGCSEs should be taken. The Typical "core" curricula for the IGCSE candidates include a First Language, Second Language, Mathematics and the Sciences. IGCSE candidates then choose a number of additional courses ranging from Social Sciences to Creative Arts. The IGCSE is graded on an 8-point scale from A* to G with a 9th grade "U" signifying "Ungraded". This measure of grading is also found in the UK GCSE. Previously, the "A*" grade in the IGCSE did not exist, but was later added in 1994 to recognise the very top end of achievement. International schools around the world normally allow students to study anywhere from 5 to 14 IGCSE subjects. 5 core subject passes at C or above, like in the case of the English Baccalaureate, is the minimum required. The Act and the Regulations made under it provide for the requirements of all schools, weather administered by local education authorities or aided is some manner by local authorities. The terms used in the Act to differentiate between the two types of control are 'Country Schools' for all those administered by the local authorities, and 'voluntary schools' for those administered by bodies other than local education authorities. The accommodation and numbers in special schools vary according to the type and extent of the disabilities of the children for which each school is provided. The demand for Cambridge IGCSE in India is growing fast. Schools in India made over 28,000 entries for Cambridge IGCSE this year, a rise of 24% since 2011. 47 schools in Mumbai made entries in the 2011-2012 Cambridge IGCSE exam series (November 2011 and June 2012) - a rise of 24% from last year. The classification of schools and those attending them has undergone several changes, schools, with a few exceptions, are no longer 'all- age - schools'

 

RICE MILLING UNIT

 

Rice is one of the most important food crops of India in term of both area, production and consumer preference.  India  is  the  second  largest  producer  and  consumer  of  rice  in  the  world. Rice production in India crossed the mark of 100 million MTnes in 2011-12 accounting for 22.81% of global production in that year. The productivity of rice has increased from 1984 kg per hectare in 2004-05 to 2372 kg per hectare in 2011-12. Indian share in global rice production has been hovering in the range of 19.50 to 24.52 % .Indian share dipped below 20 percent only in 2009-10. Production of rice in India is expected to drop this year from 104.3 million MT to 101.80 million MT (including 11.11 million  MT  rabi production) due to lower kharif output pegged at almost 90.69 million MT.

 

READY MIX CONCRETE

 

India is the second largest producer of cement in the world after China.  It is followed by Japan and the USA. Cement consumption is very closely linked to the performance of the construction industry; however, since cement is used in both residential and non-residential construction, it doesn’t experience extreme cycles. The non-residential sector is classified into commercial and industrial, and institutional segments. The residential and non-residential sectors are also classified as private and public construction. Cement and ready-mix concrete demand is dependent on the level of construction activities. Construction activities are in turn closely related to a number of macroeconomic factors such as consumer spending, population growth, manufacturing sector growth, inflation rates, government spending etc. The construction industry is the second largest industry in India after agriculture. It accounts for about 11% of India’s GDP. It makes significant contribution to the national economy and provides employment to large number of people. Construction constitutes 40% to 50% of India's capital expenditure on projects in various sectors such as highways, roads, railways, energy, airports, irrigation etc. There are mainly three segments in the construction industry like real estate construction which includes residential and commercial construction; infrastructure building which includes roads, railways, power etc; and industrial construction that consists of oil and gas refineries, pipelines, textiles etc. Building material is any material which is used for a construction purpose. Many naturally occurring substances, such as clay, sand, wood and rocks, even twigs and leaves have been used to construct buildings. Apart from naturally occurring materials, many man-made products are in use. The biggest increase in private participation is expected in roads (from 5 per cent to 36), ports (47 per cent to 74 per cent) and railways (less than 1 per cent to 20 per cent). The Planning Commission estimates that the remaining infrastructure investments will be funded by the central and state government. According to a study by ASSOCHAM, the burgeoning Indian construction industry, currently worth $70 billion, will rise to US $120 billion by 2010. The Indian construction industry, an integral part of the economy and a conduit for a substantial part of its development investment, is poised for growth on account of industrialization, urbanization, economic development and people's rising expectations for improved quality of living in the coming years. The market size of cement and ready-mix concrete is defined as the amount of cement and ready-mix concrete products supplied to the total Indian marketplace, in a particular period. Therefore, market size is determined by supply rather than demand. The Ready-mix concrete business in India is in its nascent stage. In a developed country 70% of cement produced is used by the Ready-mix concrete industry. The usage of Ready-mix concrete could not be implemented as investors felt that the plants would starve due to non-availability of cement. The levy of additional taxes and duties on RMC, entry tax and excise duty also contributed to the slow development of the concept.

 

FRUCTOSE SYRUP FROM BROKEN RICE (HFS 90%)

 

Indian tops the list sugar producing countries. The status of sugar industries in India, indicates that the existing sugar mills are a typical mix of old and new plants. Per capita consumption of sugar and other products like Gur and Khandsari is going up and is expected to increase from 12.3 and 12.5 kg to 17.0 kg and 16.0 kg respectively by the end of this century. Studies on the raw material situation for the last 13 years reveal, that cane production has stagnated at about 60 tons per hectare with less than 1% increase per year from 1977-78 to 1989-90. Any scope of enhanced production of sugar-cane must come mainly from the development of high yielding varieties and improved farm practices. The limitation of traditional sources for meeting the ever increasing demand of sweeteners must be recognized. Therefore, manufacture of sweeteners based on starchy materials offers an attractive source to fill up the demand-supply gap of sugar as suggested by experts. The Indian scene of HFCS industry is at a nascent stage. One or two units engaged in this field are either in the establishment stage or had stopped producing HFCS due its high cost of production and poor demand in the consumer sector. The production and consumption of this particular product is not only limited due to its high cost, but also due to a general non-awareness about HFCS in the society. So, promotion of HFCS industry also demands an intensive campaign, highlighting the important advantages of HFCS, especially its rapid metabolism process in the human body and independence of insulin. The know-how for the manufacture of maize starch and its subsequent conversion to liquid glucose, meltodextrines, dextrose and sorbitol is indigenously available. HFCS is finding an increased use in soft drinks manufactured in the advanced countries. 50% to complete replacement of sugar with HFCS has been permitted in the U.S.A. Soft drink manufacturers in the country may also be persuaded to opt initially for at least 15-20% replacement. Gradually, other industries like bakery, processed foods, ice-creams etc., should also consider sugar replacement by HFCS.

 

PHARMACEUTICAL PELLETS AND GRANULES

 

The Indian pharmaceutical industry is the fourth largest in the world in terms of volume of output and thirteenth in domestic demand. However, the Indian industry, valued at USD 17 bn in represented just over 1% of the global pharmaceutical industry (USD 1700 bn) in value terms. The domestic market is estimated at Rs 680 bn.According to the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), another apex industry association, there are some 6,000 firms engaged in the sector. In terms of revenue gene-ration, there are 100 big companies (including subsidiaries of MNCs) each with sales of at least USD 650,000, 200 medium size companies with sales ranging between USD 210,400 and USD 650,000; and 5700 small companies with sales of less than USD 210,400. Because many of these companies focus on producing similar generic or same drugs, the industry is characterized by fierce competition and high volumes, razor-thin profit margins, overcapacity, and declining prices. The growth has been driven by many factors, such as legislative reforms, growth in contract manufacturing and outsourcing, value added foreign acquisitions and joint ventures and India's acumen and expertise in reverse engineering of patented drug molecules. India has, in the meantime, been trying to comply with the World Trade Organization's Trade Related Intellectual Property Agreement (TRIPs) obligations.India is now among the top five pharmaceutical emerging markets. The Indian pharma industry has been growing at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 15 per cent over the last five years and has significant growth opportunities.The Indian pharmaceutical sector is expected to grow five-fold to reach Rs 5 lakh crore (US$ 91.45 billion) by 2020, as per Dr A J V Prasad, Joint Secretary, Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP). The industry, particularly, has been the front runner in a wide range of specialties involving complex drugs' manufacture, development, and technology. With the advantage of being a highly organized sector, the number of pharmaceutical companies are increasing their operations in India.

 

IRON ORE MINING

 

The Global Iron Ore Mining industry's financial performance has been highly volatile over the past five years. The industry weathered through triple-digit revenue spikes and double-digit declines. After two years of extraordinary growth in 2010 and, to a lesser extent, 2011, revenue contracted in 2012 due to plummeting prices of iron ore. However, according to IBIS World industry analyst Agiimaa Kruchkin, “In 2013, industry performance is expected to recover on the back of rebounding iron ore prices.” Consequently, industry revenue is expected to grow 4.7% to total $264.3 billion over the year. Profit has been similarly unstable, though it has increased overall at an annualized rate of 5.5% to about 43.2% of revenue in 2013. Despite a volatile performance, tremendous growth over the period has ultimately offset any declines, leading to estimated average annual revenue growth of 14.6% in the five years to 2013. Growth for the Global Iron Ore Mining industry has primarily occurred on the back of higher iron ore output and prices. Strong growth in large emerging nations, such as China and India, has driven the demand for iron ore and underpinned higher prices during most of the five-year period; as a result, industry revenue and profit have expanded rapidly. “The industry’s major players, such as Vale and Rio Tinto, have all benefited from these positive conditions, which have allow these companies to acquire several smaller companies over the period and increase market share,” says Kruchkin. Nonetheless, the industry retains its low-to-moderate market share concentration. Total iron ore production worldwide is expected to reach about 2.87 billion metric tons in 2013 (compared with 2.10 billion metric tons in 2008). More than half of this total will be traded internationally. Trade occurs primarily between regions rather than within regions, although there is some intraregional trade in Europe and North America. The major importing regions are North Asia and Europe, while the major exporting regions are South America and Oceania. Following the recession, most iron ore supply contracts shifted from annual pricing (which has been the norm since the 1960s) to more flexible quarterly or even monthly pricing.

 

TOUGHENED GLASS

 

The glass industry represents a number of definable product segments: (a) flat glass including Float Glass, (b) glass containers and hollowware, (c) vacuum glass, (d) domestic and industrial glassware, (e) crystal glass, (f) fibreglass, (g) glass wool, (h) TV picture tube glass shells, and (i) laboratory glass. Most of the glass products have both industrial and consumer usages. Laboratory glass is a minor constituent. So are fibreglass and glasswool - although fibreglass is gaining momen-tum increasingly. The industry is growing at around 8% per annum. Consumption per capita of glass in India is only about 0.8 kg compared to 3.5 kg in China, 5.2 kg in Thailand, 12 kg in Malaysia and 2.5 kg in Indonesia. The total organised producers in the glass market have a turnover estimated at over Rs 40 bn, represented by a fairly large number of suppliers. The dominance of China as a major market supplier of glass products has been increasing with economic liberalisation and rising foreign investment. China accounts for about one-third share in the worldwide demand of flat glass. India has one of the lowest per capita flat glass consumption but with rapid growth in domestic construction and automotive market, it presents a significant opportunity for global majors, which have entered the market in a big way.India exports about 13,000 tonne of glass per month to the Middle East, African countries, Europe and South America. The rapid increase in the demand for flat glass in the domestic market has resulted in a cutback in exports by as much as 60% in the last couple of years. The two main entrants in the glass industry in the recent years have been Float Glass (a technological variant of flat or sheet glass) and crystalware. Fibreglass and glass wool are still a small turnover industry but has been operating in India for quite sometime. Flat glass is segmented into conventional sheet glass and Float Glass. Float Glass is stronger (by 25%) than normal sheet glass. It also has a much higher degree of optical clarity. Other varieties include figured and wired glass.

 

MULTISPECIALTY HOSPITAL

 

The healthcare equipment sector attracted 8.8 per cent of the total investments in terms of deal value with an aggregate of US$ 249.01 million (20 deals), according to data released by VCCEdge. The hospital and diagnostics centre in India received foreign direct investment (FDI) worth US$ 1,597.33 million, while drugs & pharmaceutical and medical & surgical appliances industry registered FDI worth US$ 10,318.17 million and US$ 622.99 million, respectively during April 2000 to March 2013, according to data provided by Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP).The diagnostics sector in India has been witnessing immense progress in innovative competencies and credibility. In addition, the emerging sectors, such as bio-generics and pharma packaging are also paving way for the pharmaceutical market to continue its upward trend during FY 2012- 2014 FY.To determine the feasibility of the project, the first consideration in the survey is to study the character, needs and possibilities of the community which the hospital is going to serve.Based on the health indicators for India released by the WHO, CRISIL Research estimates the Indian healthcare delivery industry to reach Rs 2.3 trillion in 2010-11. As healthcare coverage across the country increases, the industry is expected to register a CAGR of 12 per cent to reach Rs 4.2 trillion in 2015-16. As private investments have been skewed towards in-patient department (IPD) treatments, its share in the overall market is expected to increase from 64 per cent in 2010-11 to 66 per cent by 2015-16. The growth in demand for healthcare delivery services will be mainly driven by a combination of various factors including changing demographics, increasing income levels, greater health awareness and increasing health insurance coverage. Investments of over Rs 5.6 trillion required to attain healthcare delivery benchmarks India lags behind several global benchmarks for healthcare delivery. In terms of both healthcare infrastructure and manpower, India ranks below even developing countries like China, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Vietnam in terms of both beds to population and physicians to population ratios. In order to meet the global median of 24 beds per 10,000 population, as per WHO statistics, investments of Rs 5.6 trillion would be required over the next 5 years. The growth in the healthcare services in the country is primarily driven by the 350 million strong middle class people aspiring for quality healthcare services, thus increasing international confidence on India as a potential, high quality and low cost medical tourism destination. According to the WHO report, India needs to add 80,000 hospital beds each year for the next five years to meet the demandsof its growing population. High quality talent pool, proven track record, favourable government policies, ability todeliver healthcare services at low cost and high quality infrastructure has put India on the global map for outsourcing various healthcare related services. This has been further intensified by Government of India’s recent budget declarations, where enough emphasis has been given on setting up of healthcare delivery infrastructure mainly in Tier – I & Tier – II cities.

 

PAN CHUTNEY

 

 

The Pan chutneys are very popular amongst the Indian panwaris as these contain refreshing essentials in them. Many companies offer these chutneys in abundant flavors, packed in sealed containers that retains its quality aspects and extends its shelf life. As we know that a chutney is a pungent relish of Indian origin made of fruit, spices and herbs. Although originally intended to be eaten soon after production, modern chutneys are often made to be sold, so require preservatives – often sugar and vinegar or chemical food preservatives like sodium benzoate – to ensure they have a suitable shelf life. Mango chutney, for example, is mangoes reduced with sugar.But pan chutney prepared from premium quality ingredients give complete and long lasting pleasure such as primed natural perfumed compounds, fresh flowers extracts, dried fruits made for the taste of diverse regional tang. It is available at very reasonable price range all across the globe to the clients.Basically the companies manufactured the pan chutney compound of mouth refreshing elements. One of the basic advantages of our Pan Chutney Compounds is that they can be retained for long time after breaking their seal. There are so many flavored pan chutney which has smoothly accepted by Indian people due to their variable tastes. Many dried fruits are used to make this like mango, pineapple, strawberry, saffron, khus etc which gives a unique taste to it and makes it attractive and addictive to the people fond of paan.The markets of pan chutney are growing more in India and it has ample scope to take the attention of paan lovers for more sell. Some companies like Gopal, Minar, Meenakshi are leading with that item and they are expecting more growth in near future with lots of prospects.

 

CALCIUM PROPIONATE

 

Calcium propionate is the calcium salt of propionic acid.  Another commonly used name for calcium propionate is calcium propanoate. Propionic acid is a natural acid present in small quantities in many foods. In fermented foods however, propionic acid can be present in high concentrations because it is produced by fermentation bacteria. Also the bacteria in the large intestine produce propionic acid. The propionate (IUPAC name propanoate) ion is C₂H₅COO-(propionic acid minus one hydrogen ion). A propionate or propanoate compound is a salt or ester of propionic acid.

 

L-LYSINE FROM MICROBIAL FERMENTATION

 

It can be said that the use of L-Lysine in animal feed in India is largely in the introductory stage at present. The demand is bound to go up, in view of the compulsive need to optimise the quality of the animal feed by the producers to stay ahead in the competitive market. The Indian demand for L-Lysine is estimated to be around 1000 tonnes per annum. Estimated growth rate in demand: 9 to 10% per annum.The global demand for L-Lysine Hydrochloride is around 5,00,000 tonnes per annum with the projected growth rate in demand of around 8.0%. Considering the fact that around 25,000 tonnes of additional capacity has to be created for L-Lysine Mono-hydrochloride to meet the global demand every year, it should be possible for the Indian project to take substantial share in the export market. This would be so, in view of the fact that the Molasses based L-Lysine project in India would be globally competitive from the point of view of the cost factors. The important aspects of the L-Lysine is that the product is based on cane molasses, which is adequately available in the country.

 

GLASS BOTTLE FOR BEER

 

A beer bottle is a bottle made to contain beer, usually made of glass and come in various sizes, shapes and colours. Dark amber or brown glass greatly reduces UV light from spoiling the beer. However, lighter colored bottles are often used for marketing reasons. The first nationwide standardized beer bottles were introduced in Sweden in 1886. The medium size, 330ml (11.6 imp fl oz; 11.2U.S. fl oz), is still in use today, but is being phased out. Glass occurs naturally in two ways. When lightning strikes sand, the immense heat developed causes the silica grains constituting sand to fuse into long tubes of glassy material called fulgurites. Glass is also naturally formed when hot, molten lava from an erupting volcano is subjected to sudden, rapid cooling resulting in the deposition of under developed crystals of glass, more rightly referred to asobsidian. The technique of glass making too is based on similar lines. People learned to make the first glass containers about two thousand years ago. Molten glass was collected on the ends of hollow iron pipes and then expanded by blowing through the pipes. Slowly, people learnt to blow molten glass into moulds. Glass bottle making machines were introduced in the thirties.  In the early seventies, environmentalists began arguing on the grounds that glass bottles added to pollution. This led to the setting up of numerous recycling centers where people could return bottles for reuse in other bottles.  The entire process of bottle making is almost fully automated. An automated feeder separates a stream of molten glass into individual gobs. These are then dropped through tubes in a moving track. The gob is shaped into what looks like a short bottle with thick walls and is called a parison. The parison is transferred to a final mould made of iron, which moves up and clamps around the glass. Air is blown into the glass till it acquires the final shape of the mould. This procedure involving expansion is called blowing. The bottle is then released from the mould and annealed.

 

SPICES (100% EOU)

 

India is one of the leading producers, consumers and exporters of spices. The Spices Board, under the umbrella of Ministry of Commerce and Industry, government of India, is the apex body for promoting exports of Indian Spices. Established in 1987, the Board plays an important role as a development agency for Indian spices. Its board-based activities include formulation and important role as a development agency for Indian spices. Its broad-based activities include formulation and implementation of quality improvement system, research and development programmes, imparting education and training to farmers, processors, packers and exporters on post-harvest handling, etc. For promotion of spices, the Spice Board is regularly participating in international food fairs. Assisting exporters in trade fair participation and sending business delegations to identified markets for export development. India is known as ‘the home of spices’. No India meal is considered complete without the tangy and delectable flavour of Indian spices, locally known as ‘masala’. Indian spices are famous the world over for their high medicinal values. There is no other country in the world that produces as many kinds of spices as India. India grows over 50 different varieties of spices. The total production is around 2.7 million tonnes. Of this, about 0.25 million tonne (8-10 per cent) is exported to more than 150 countries.Some of the most widely consumed spices in India inter alia include chilli (lal mirach), cinnamon, cumin (jeera), curry leaf (curry patta), fennel (saunf), asafetida (hing/heeng), basil (pudina), bay leaves (tejpatta), small cardamom (chotti elaichi), large cardamom (badi elaichi), ginger (adrak), mustard, sishops weed (ajwain), cassia (dal chini), celery (kala jeera), clove, coriander (dhania), fenugreek (methi), garlic (lahson), kokam, mint, onion, parsley, pomegranate, turmeric (haldi), tamrind (imli), pepper (kali mirach), poppy (post dana/khaskhas), rosemary and vanilla. The climate of the country is suitable for growing almost all kinds of spices.India can now claim to be the monopoly supplier of spice oils and oleoresins the world over. The consistent effort during the last one decade has improved the share of value-added products in the exports basket to 60 per cent. Because of the varying climate-from tropical to sub-tropical temperate-almost all spices are grown splendidly in India. In fact, almost all the states and union territories of India grow one or the other spices.

 

PARTICLE BOARD FROM BAGASSE

 

Bagasse is the waste of sugar industry. It can be used for the production of bagasse base board or solid fuels or for the production of power or for the production of Alcohol. Now we are intending to produce bagasse base board. For the manufacturing of bagasse base board, it-should be in the form of fine particle and other raw material used phenol formaldehyde base adhesive and neem leaf dust. The required plant machineries are solid mixing machine, hydraulic press, hot air dust or drier and S.S made mould. There is gradually demand increase in wood base products. There are few manufacturers who makes board by partial use of fine particles of bagasse. In this product manufacturing there is very minimum amount of environmental pollution. The product board can compete with the ply board or wood base board. This can be very safely handled and transport from one place to another place. Quality of board depend on the fine technique of finishing. Any new entrepreneur may enter into this field will be successful.It is solid, sort and net easily breakable. It is not easily effected by weather and temperature up to 60 ⁰C. It can be transport from one place to another place. It can be sized easily according to requirement.

 

Few organized and many private organizations are engaged in the manufacturing of ply board or wood board or bagasse base board. There is growth about 5-8% per annum. These is no import of ply board, these is scope of export of ply board as well as wood board is there.In the near future projected demand of bagasse base board will be increased by 5% as this is the product of wood substitute.

 

RICE BRAN OIL (SOLVENT EXTRACTION)

 

India produces about 80 million tonnes of paddy annually. This can yield about 5 million tonnes of rice bran and to the extent of 8 lakhs tonnes of rice bran oil. During 1983 - 84, the country processed only 13 lakhs tonnes of rice bran, though the installed processing capacity is around 32 lakhs tonnes. Production of rice bran oil is currently estimated at about 2 lakhs tonnes and hardly 10-15 per cent of it is of edible grade, although the potential availability is reckoned at about 8 lakhs tonnes. The wide gap between the actual production and the potential availability of rice bran oil is primarily due to the fact that at present around 70 per cent of the paddy produced in the country is processed through huller mills while only 30 percent is processed by modern Sheller mills. It has been estimated that huller mills number about 80,000 while there are only 28,000 modern Sheller mills.

 

 

PAPAD PLANT (AUTOMATIC)

 

The Word "PAPAD" is quite familiar with Indians. Papad is a common Indian food normally taken with meals. Some people take it along with tea also. It is a food which is liked by people of all states, people doing all type of occupations. It is well within the reach of common people. Papad can be exported to other countries and can earn valuable foreign exchange as people in other countries have also taken interest in this food item. Some time before papads were made at home by the ladies and most of them know the process of making them. At present also some of the housewives are making these, but their number has decreased considerably. However, they used to make them for their captive uses only. Whereas modern ladies don't want to take trouble of making them at homes because of a number of reasons as follows: They are not free as ladies have also started working in offices like men, they don't have ample space in their houses for making them, fresh papads are available in the market (all types), they have become sophisticated and don't want to make them in their homes. Papad's are of different types i.e. made from urad dal, potatoes, rice etc. However, process of making all of them is very simple and absolutely identifical except the formulations which may change according to one's taste. Papad's may be made by using red or black pappers and their quantities may also be altered to make the product strong or light in chilly. Normally papads are made round in shape and are thin like paper. All sizes and types of papads are available in the market and can be manufactured also under one shed with almost the same plant and machineries. Papads are largely consumed by Marwadi's. There are people who like them so much that they don't enjoy the meal unless and until papad is also served along with it. However, mostly it is eaten by frying in ghee or oil. Raw papad is quit flexible and don't crack when twisted and turned many times. After roasting and drying raw papad, becomes crisp and produces sound when eaten, it is also very tasty.
