History of JMD Oils Pvt. Ltd
The foundation of JMD group was laid by Late Sh. J R Dhingra, a social
activist and a religious and pious person. With his dynamic approach, guidance and
vision, the group, which was started with a Grocery shop, has achieved astounding
heights. Sh. J R Dhingra passed away in the year 2001 but his teachings, inspirations
and values have been well carried by his four sons namely Gulshan Kumar, Krishan
Kumar, Naresh Kumar and Sanjay Kumar. They further fragmented the JMD tree,
planted by their father and expanded, diversified and consolidated their position by
working and living jointly as a close fist.
JMD Group started the business of edible oils in the year 1987 as a
distribution unit. The promoters put their best efforts, vision and acumen in carrying
out the business. Thereafter they kept on adding multinationals and reputed
companies/brands who have shown their eagerness to be associated with the group
and promote their brand/business e.g. “ Vital”- (SM Dyechem), “Dalda Refined Oil” -
(Hindustan Lever Limited), “Sundrop, Crystal” - (Agro Tech Limited), “Sohna”-
(Markfed), “Saffola”- (Marico Industries Limited).
Meanwhile the group diversified into the business of manufacturing and
marketing of Dairy products and took franchise of “INDANA” brand in the year
1997. They took on lease the dairy plant of Foremost Industries (I) Ltd (Owner of
Indana brand) situated at Saharanpur. However in view of a high operational cost,
being old plant, the promoters discontinued the operation of the said plant and
outsourced the manufacturing the dairy operations.
Over a period of time, the group established its own market and presence in
the business of edible oils and dairy products. It has been making supplies to more
than 7000 retail outlets, Canteen Stores Departments (CSD), multinationals, five stars
hotels, restaurants, fast food centers, confectioneries manufacturers etc.

TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES 9
It had been outsourcing the manufacturing/refining of edible oils and dairy
products from outside jobbers. However at times there been a pressure in regard to the
quality and regularity of operations which was dependent upon the whims of the
jobbers.
As a process of backward integration the group took over a dairy plant in Dist.
Ballabhgarh (Haryana) in the year 2003. The said plant had milk processing capacity
of lakh later per day. After takeover, the promoters took the first step to reduce
operational/running cost and incurred huge capital expenditure. Thereafter they
increased the milk processing capacity to 3 lakh liters per day. Meanwhile the
company has also leased out its packing facilities for packing of fresh milk under the
brand of “Amul” catering to Delhi. The promoters put their best to convert a loss
making venture to a profitable enterprise.
In the year 2004, the group diversified and set up a plant for packaged
drinking water and aerated drinks under the brand name of „H2GO‟.Over a short
period of two years the brand has been well appreciated and well seen in the market.
It has acquired a high position in the market.
After settling the market and the production of dairy and packaged water, the
group conceived an idea to go for backward integration in edible oils. It decided to go
for establishing an edible oil refinery. Since more than 50 % of edible oils
consumption is met out of imports, the group decided to establish a plant near Sea
Port. Hence the group decided to set up a plant in Kandla, Dist: Gandhidham, Gujarat.
Accordingly it set up a plant with capacity of 800 TPD. The plant has been put to
operation in the year 2005.
Over a period of time the group has been interacting with a numerous
parties/customers comprising of multinationals, five star hotels, restaurants, fast food
centers, retailers, wholesale markets and direct consumers etc. Its products being
consumer products have a name in the household. Whereas there has been a boom in
real estate business. The group decided to operate as per the time and market

environment. After making a thorough study and research the group diversified and
entered into the business of Real Estate, housing project under the brand name of
„JTPL‟. The integrity and reputation of the promoters have paid rich dividends and
housing projects have begun with flying colours.

1.2. INTRODUCTION
About the groundnut
India is the Second largest producer of groundnuts in the world. Indian
groundnuts are available in different varieties: Bolds or Runners, Java or Spanish and
have a rich nutty flavour, sweet taste, crunchy texture and a relatively longer shelf
life. Groundnuts in India are available throughout the year due to a two-crop cycle
harvested in March and October. On an average, India produces 7-8 million tonnes of
groundnuts every year. In fact, considering the current export figures, India has a
much larger potential to supply high quality groundnuts to the international buyer.
Groundnuts are a high value crop that can be marketed with little processing
and can be used in a wide range of products. They are the second largest source of
vegetable oil, the largest being Soya beans. The oil can be used for cooking, they can
be used as a base for confectioneries and they can be used to make groundnut butter.

1.4 LITERATURE REVIEW
History of groundnut
It has been reported that South America was the place, from where cultivation
of Groundnut originated and spread in Brazil, Southern Bolivia and North-western
Argentina. Groundnut was introduced by the Portuguese from Brazil to West Africa
and then to South-western India in the 16th century. Groundnut is famous by
Mongphali in India. The groundnut belongs to the pea and bean family and is a
leguma but is considered as nut because of its high nutrition value.
Types of Groundnut
HPS (hand pick seed) is the main type of groundnut and in that there are two types of
groundnut:
(1) JAVA
(2) BOLD
Amongst these types of peanut JAVA is very famous. In every Groundnut
there are three part of it (a) Husk (b) kernel (c) chilka. It is very beneficial that
every part of the groundnut is used and there is not a single part of groundnut
which is of no use for the owner.
FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS OF SETTING UP A GROUNDNUT PLANT
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES 17
JAVA TYPE
Groundnuts of Java type are of light red color. They are little bit shinning.
These types of groundnuts are cultivated twice in a year (September- December and
May- June). These types of groundnuts hold one condition that if we purchase 20 kg
of shell, then 15 kg of groundnut must be there in 20 kg. If this condition is not
satisfied then we have to cut the payment of that much amount from the balance
payment. Java is exported 90% of the total production and remaining 10% is
consumed in India. 10% java type groundnut is consumed in Seed. Java type
groundnut is famous due to its more calories, protein and having the big proportion of
oil.
JAVA TYPE GROUNDNUT
FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS OF SETTING UP A GROUNDNUT PLANT
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES 18
BOLD TYPE
The pods are larger than those of the Java types and constriction is more well-
defined. The shell is thicker than that of Java types. The kernels are oval, larger than
those of the Java types and covered with light red-coloured skins which speedily
darken. Bold type groundnut is cultivated twice in a year (September- December and
May- June). In Bold type groundnut there is one condition is that if we purchase 20 kg
of shell then in that 14.5 kg of groundnut must be there if this condition is not
satisfied then we have to cut the payment of that much amount from the balance
payment. Out of the total production 60% of bold type groundnut is exported while
remaining 40% is consumed in India which is mainly used as Roasted groundnut.
Bold type groundnut is directly consumed in eating as it is good in taste.
BOLD TYPE GROUNDNUT

Uses of Groundnut
1) Mainly groundnuts are consumed in three ways i.e. Roasted groundnut,
Groundnut oil and Groundnut butter.
2) Java is mainly exported because it contains maximum quantity of the oil.
3) Bold is mainly consumed in the local market of country in different things like in
chikki, bhujiya, chevda etc. it is seen that bold groundnuts are very tasty.
4) The groundnuts are consumed in many ways and various forms. They may be
eaten raw, boiled, steamed or roasted. They are sometimes eaten as a sweetmeat
by coating them with sugar. In Western countries, they form an important
constituent of confections. They are used in nut chocolates, candies and
sandwiches.
5) A large number of food products are prepared from the groundnuts. The
groundnut flour is becoming increasingly popular in the Western country. It is by
far superior to wheat flour in nutritive value. Groundnuts may be used for
preparing nutritive and tasty milk. About one pound of lightly roasted nuts may be
soaked in water for about two hours. The skin of the nuts should be removed by
rubbing in water. The soaked nuts are made into a fine paste in a stone grinder.
The paste is mixed with water to the quantity of three times the bulk of the paste.
It should be strained through a thin cloth before use. The milk may be boiled
without loss of its food value. Sugar may be added to taste. In food value and
composition. The groundnut milk is similar to dairy milk and may be used as its
substitute.
6) The groundnut milk may be converted into curd. A small quantity of the cow milk
curd may be added to the milk and allowed to remain overnight to set. It tastes
like milk curd and possesses much of its qualities.
7) Groundnuts are often used as vegetables when the seeds are still tender. They may
also be taken in their germinated form. Germination not only renders the more
digestible. But also enhances their food value, especially in their vitamin B and C
contents.

Benefits of Groundnut
Nutrition Benefits of Eating Groundnuts are:
1) Groundnuts and groundnut products are very beneficial in the treatment of
hemophilia and other such inherited blood disorders. People suffering from
nose bleeding also benefit from eating groundnuts and it is also helpful in
reducing excessive menstruation bleeding in women.
2) Five main nutrients required by the body to maintain and repair the tissues
namely food energy, protein, phosphorous, thiamin and niacin. These five
nutrients are found in good quantity in groundnuts.
3) Groundnuts are rich vitamins and contain at least 13 different types of
vitamins that include Vitamin A, B, C and E. along with this, groundnuts are
also rich in 26 essential minerals like calcium, iron, zinc, boron, etc. these
help in brain function and development and also help to maintain strong
bones.
4) It is recommended that growing children, expecting women and nursing
mothers consume roasted groundnuts with jaggery and goat‟s milk. It is said
to provide resistance and immunity against dangerous infections like
Hepatitis and also Tuberculosis.
5) Groundnuts are rich in anti-oxidants and a chemical called resveratrol. These
help in reducing the risk of contracting cardiovascular diseases, cancer risk
and also help in anti-ageing, thus keeping the body young and fit.

2. METHODOLOGY
As Company maintains good relations with the other producers of groundnut
processing Plants in Gujarat. So, company gave us chance to visit some plants. We
have visited the plant of Madhav Seed Industries (Jamnagar), Tanna Agro Impex Pvt
Ltd (Jamnagar) and Kanaiya Enterprise (Anjar).
Madhav Seed Industries:
Madhav Seed Industries has Groundnut processing plant in Jamnagar. There
we met the manager of Madhav Seed Industries, Mr. Rajubhai Sonaiya. They have the
plant of removing kernel from the shell and grading it according to the requirement.
They used to sell the kernel to the exporter who exports the kernel directly to the
foreign countries. Wastage such as unopened shell and husk is also been sold in local
market. The capacity of the plant was 10 tons per day working 12 hours in a day.
They have two machines.
Tanna Agro impex plant:
In Tanna Agro Impex plant, (situated in Jamnagar in Gujarat) is fully equipped
to rollout the quality Groundnuts. They remove the red cover of the kernel, that
groundnut is known as blenched groundnut. This blenched groundnut is totally
exported, especially to Europe. They had the quality certificate from APEDA. They
have to work according to norms and regulation of the European countries. Safety and
cleanliness is given the first Preference to the company. They are having capacity of
10 tons per day working 8 hours in a day.
Kanaiya Enterprises:
Kanaiya Enterprises has Groundnut processing plant in Anjar (Kachchh). They
have the same process as Madhav Seed Industries is having. The capacity of the plant
is 10 tons per day working 12 hours in a day.
FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS OF SETTING UP A GROUNDNUT PLANT
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES 23
As we had seen the process of both Plants, the process of the Madhav Seed
Industries and Kanaiya Enterprise is given in the project and this same process is been
suggested by us to company in this project.
Details of Proposed Project
This project is regarding the feasibility of groundnut. We have done the study
regarding groundnut which include below points:
1) Where to establish the plant.
2) From where to purchase the groundnut.
3) Process of removing the Kernel from that Shell.
4) Process of grading related to the order of the customer
5) Process of packaging the finished goods
6) Loading of the finished goods
7) Process of Blench groundnut (future perspective).

TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES 24
3. ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
Plant Location
The Groundnut market is spreading rapidly, so JMD Oils Pvt. Ltd. wants to
enter in the market. In India, Gujarat is among the largest producer of groundnut, it is
very beneficial to establish the plant in Gujarat. Now in Gujarat, the best quality of
groundnut is mostly cultivated in Kutch and Saurashtra. Groundnuts of Gujarat are
mostly exported to foreign countries. If the company is near to any port, it will be
very beneficial as the transportation cost will be less. In Kutch, there are two ports,
one is Kandla port and another is Mundra port. So, the plant should be established in
Kutch only rather than in Saurashtra. The availability of the raw material is high in
Kutch.
In Kutch, JMD Oils Pvt. Ltd. is already having its plant situated at Bhimasar
village. The benefit of this location is that it is near to port, the railway station is just
opposite to its gate. One more benefit is of easy availability of labour from Bhimasar
village.
Raw Material
1. It can be directly purchased from farmers.
2. It can be purchased from mediators (Agents).
3. It can be purchased through market yard.
If raw material is purchased from farmers, then it will cheaper than mediator
because he takes 1% commission from purchaser. Broker makes adulteration into the
material which causes loss for the company.
FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS OF SETTING UP A GROUNDNUT PLANT
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES 25
Rates of Groundnut
These rates are taken on the basis of current market price. Here are selling
price of the kernel:
JAVA
Rs.51.00/KG (40-50 condition)
Rs.54.00/KG (50-60 condition)
Rs.55.00/KG (60-70 condition)
BOLD
Rs.49/KG (40-50 condition)
Rs.48/KG (50-60 condition)
Rs.45/KG (60-70 condition)
Condition satisfaction procedure
We have to take the weight of 28.5 gm and count the number of kernels in it.
We can obtain the quality of the kernel through this way. At the time of purchase and
sales, also one condition of moisture in it, but we do not consider that thing because it
is totally based on nature.
FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS OF SETTING UP A GROUNDNUT PLANT
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES 26
We have done our whole study of the kernel 40-50. Because this type of
groundnut has high demand in market.
Process of remove the kernel through machine
After purchasing the raw material the kernel is removed from shell through the
huller machine:
HULLER MACHINE
FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS OF SETTING UP A GROUNDNUT PLANT
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES 27
First of all when raw material is introduced in the plant following process starts:
The shell comes into this machine
Husk (shell cover) are thrown out by the machine
Three things comes out from the machine
a. Kernel
b. Small Kernel
c. Dust particles and unopened kernel
Peanut is filled in bags for manual checking.
Bags are taken for manually checking.
Kernel are separated from any stone left, unopened shell in those
Bags. This work is mostly done by the labours.
Clean kernel are put into another machine which do grading
according to the requirement of the customer.

Possibility of Wastage
There is a possibility of 37 % wastage of input (shell) which include dust, stones and
unopened shell.
Process of Tanna Agro Impex Pvt.Ltd.
Tanna Agro Impex Pvt. Ltd. is doing the business of more than one commodity.
We had visited the plant of blench groundnut. Blench groundnut Plant process is
given below:
1) Purchase the kernel from local market (java type).
2) Kernel is roasted at 95 degree Celsius for 15-17 minutes.
3) After that Material is process into cooling machine for 10-15 minutes.
4) Then material process in the blencher which throws the red cover of the
groundnut.
5) Materials are packed into the bags of 7kg, 10kg and 50kg according to the
order of customer.
There are of 15-20% wastage due to split (two part) of blench groundnut since
it is not accepted by the purchaser.

TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES 31
Financial Analysis
Materials and Inputs
Raw and Auxiliary Materials:
The principal raw material required by the Groundnut plant is shell (pod), which is
produced locally in Kutch and Saurashtra in Gujarat. During the process of removal of
kernels from the shell there is the weight loss of 30% of the input. Therefore, taking
this weight loss into account, the annual requirement for groundnut shell at 100 per
cent capacity utilization rate is estimated to be (20 tonnes per day working 350 days
in a year) 7,000 tones +wastage(0.3694 x 11,100 tonnes) = 11,100 tonnes shell.
Annual cost of shell at the rate of Rs.32 per kg will amount to Rs. 3,552 lakhs.
After getting the Groundnut from the shell it is graded as per the order given by the
customer and after that it is packed into the bag of 50kg capacity. The requirement
and the cost of the bag is Rs. 42 lakhs the calculation for the same is given below.
