EDIBLE OIL REFINERY UNIT

Indian edible oil industry is composed of some 15,000 oil mills, 600solvent extraction units, 250 vanaspati units and over 600 refiningunits. These employ over a million people.With around 8% of worldoilseeds production, over 7% of global protein meal production,around 4% of world oil meal export, total oilseeds production of 23mn tonne and 5.6 mn tonne of edible oil production, India is thefourth 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 oilproduction, nearly 11% of global vegetable oil imports and 9% ofglobal edible oil consumption. And yet over 40% of the edible oilavailability in the market is sourced from imports. The edible oilsegment is currently undergoing a metamorphosis as a result ofspiralling prices of soft oils - sunflower and soyabean. Premiumbranded vegetable oil makers are expanding their product portfolioto include less-upmarket oils from cottonseed, groundnut or evenpalmolein in consumer packs. India has a potential to produce about1.50 mn tonne of rice bran oil. Of this potential, only half or750,000 tonne, is produced. Some 200,000 tonne of oil is beingused as refined rice bran oil for cooking. The rest is used invanaspati. 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 ofrural area. Animal industrial enterprises in all area and so, the market forcattle feed is very scattered. The consumers are living by and large inpoverty 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 increasetheir own earning they try to spend upon cattles as much as possible.Unawareness about the product and its importance should also be lookedafter. The benefits of this scientifically prepared cattle feed overtraditional feed has become as popular as they should be. The problem ismuch of replacing unscientific feeding system with scientific feed. Indiahas the largest cattle, buffalo and goat population according to latestcensus. There are about 200 million cattle, 50 million buffaloes and 90million goats in the country. About one sixth of the cattle, about half ofbuffalo and one fifth of goat population in world are in India. Animalhusbandry plays an important role in the national life and accounts forabout 10% of the national income. In particular the contributor of thecattle and buffalo to the economy is considerable. They are the mainsource of drought power in agricultural operations and ruraltransportation 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 areabout 200 million cattle, 50 million buffaloes and 90 million goats in the country. About onesixth 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% ofthe national income. In particular the contributor of the cattle and buffalo to the economy isconsiderable. They are the main source of drought power in agricultural operations and ruraltransportation they provide essential, foods like milk and meal.The feed for the poultry ismade up of two portions the concentrate and the balance, consisting of various grains andrice (and wheat) bran upto 20 per cent of other local by-products.The packaging ofcompound feeds by most units in India is in brand new funny bags, but some are usingpolythene-lined bags, which are very handy for export purpose.With animal feed plantcoming up in high cities especially in Chennai, Kolkata and Mumbai and producing top qualitypoultry cattle feeds and with the resource available to these manufacturing units it is certainthat animal feeds produced in India will find and instant market in the neighbouringcountries. It is expected that in the next few years the animal feed industry in India wouldrank among the major industries of India and will be able to help the animal productionprogramme 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 rapiddeterioration in mans environment. A fantastic world effort over the next decade at changingthe altitude of people towards family size night conceivably arrest population at 2 or 3 timesits present level. Some biologists feel the compulsory family regulation will be necessary tolimit production. World population is exploding. More children are being born, many diseaseshave been cured, and the life span is increasing. Industries playing increasing roles in thestruggle against world hunger include the poultry industry, which require less capital to enterthan other animal industries, and the feed industry, which provides economical, feeds uponwhich the poultry industry depends.

SILICA FROM RICE HUSK ASH

Precipitated Silica is used as filler for paper & rubber as a carrier & diluents for agriculturalchemicals, 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 thedemand of the following industries.Silicon is a unique material. Its abundance is one of thereasons it is used for a wide range of purposes. One of the most important uses of silicon isas a core element of microchips. To manufacture microchips, the microelectronics industryrequires silicon with an impurity level of 10–11. Since silicon forms a stable compound withoxygen (silicon oxide, SiO2), the deoxidization of silicon oxide needed to reach this high levelof purity consumes a substantial amount of energy, which, in turn, affects the environmentthrough emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2).Bulk silicon wafers used at the beginning of theintegrated circuit making process must first be refined to "nine nines" purity(99.9999999%), a process which requires repeated applications of refining technology. Thesilicon demand by the PV cell industry can be estimated using the available amount of siliconin combination with the amount of silicon needed to produce 1 MWp of solar cells. Globalproduction of rice, the majority of which is grown in Asia is approximately 550 milliontonnes/year. This is generated at a rate of about 20% of the weight of the product rice, orsome 110 million tonnes per year globally. The husk in turn contains between 15 and 20% ofmineral matter the majority of which is amorphous silica. There is a growing demand forfinely 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 currentlyfilled by silica fume. Limited supply and high demand has pushed the price of silica fume toas much as US$ 1,000/tonne in some market. Rice husk has the potential to generate 16.5to 22 million tonnes of ash containing over 90% amorphous silica that could be used as asubstitute for silica fume. The husk has energy content of about 14 GJ/tonne so that theenergy potential worldwide would be some 1.5 billion GJ/year, which at US$ 5/GJ would havean annual value of US$ 7.5 billion. This amount of energy is equivalent to over 1 billionbarrels of oil per year.

DEHYDRATED ONIONS

Onion is an important vegetable crop grown in India and forms a part of dailydiet in almost all households throughout the year. India is the second largestproducer of onion in the world 7 onion is one of the most important butperishable groups known. It is also used for medical purpose. But due to non-availability of appropriate post-harvest storage facilities, 20-25% of the totalproduced onions are wasted, which in terms of value amounts to crores ofrupees. Unprocessed foods are susceptible to spoilage by biochemicalprocesses, microbial attack and infestation. The right post harvest practicessuch as good processing techniques, and proper packaging, transportation andstorage (of even processed foods) can play a significant role in reducingspoilage and extending shelf life. The industry consists of segments likeprocessed fruits and vegetables, cereal based products, dairy products, meat,poultry and fishery products, beverages and confectionary. The globalprocessed food market is estimated at $3.2 trillion. The Indian food market isestimated 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 tenyears and there is an opportunity for large investments in food and foodprocessing technologies.The Indian government has formulated Vision 2015,to triple the size of the food processing industry, from the current $ 70 b toaround $ 210 b, enhancing her global share to 3%, increasing value additionto 35%, from the current 20% and raising the level of processing ofperishables to 20%.

SANITARY PADS/NAPKINS

The Industry in India is of recent origin. The first unit is to manufacture viscous napkinfilament yarn. Sanitary napkins have an important place in women's history and in thehistory of technology. 19th Century research into disposable sanitary napkins marked thehumble beginnings of a new era of gynecological sanitary. Disposable Sanitary Napkinsappeared in Germany as early as the 1880s but were unavailable to American womenbecause of the Comstock Laws. Women protection during their “critical” days is not aproblem in a modern world. Great variety of different types of sanitary facilities is providedon the market. Sanitary facilities obviously don’t cause any significant environmental impactduring use, but they do during production as well as final waste utilization stages. Ifsomebody would like to make choice among them relying not only on prices and personalpreferences but also on environmental friendliness of the product, life cycle assessmentshould be the main instrument designed to assess product’s environmental impact andcompare different types of sanitary facilities referring to this assessment. Hindustan Lever(now Hindustan Unilever), Johnson & Johnson and Procter & Gamble have been the leadplayers in sanitary napkins market. The Unilever-Kimberly Clark joint venture had earlierentered 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 withits beltless brand, Stayfree, its share could be estimated at around 75%. Beltless napkinsnow have catapulted to a share of over 70% of the market. Johnson's overall market shareis down to 46% and P&G has gained a penetration of 43%. Kimberly Clark had launchedupgraded 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 inwith Stayfree Spirit.

IGCSE School(Nursery to Senior Secondary)

The International General Certificate of Secondary Education is an international qualificationfor school students. IGCSE is developed by university of Cambridge InternationalExaminations (CIE) in 1988 and is currently offered as a qualification by CIE and LondonExamination (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 inIndia shows that schools are aware of the value of this approach and the importance of aninternational education in today's global economy. University of Cambridge InternationalExaminations (CIE) is the world’s largest provider of international qualifications. CompulsoryState education begins at 5 years but permissive legislation allows local EducationAuthorities to build also for children of 3.5 years, either in separate building or in nurserygroups attached to primary schools. Schools worldwide have helped develop CambridgeIGCSE, which provides excellent preparation for the Cambridge Advanced stage includingCambridge International AS and A Levels and Cambridge Pre-U, as well as other progressionroutes. It incorporates the best in international education for learners at this level. Itdevelops in line with changing needs, and is regularly updated and extended. CambridgeIGCSE teachers can draw on excellent resources, training and advice from subject experts.The IGCSE is an international alternative to many popular national curricula.

The demand for Cambridge IGCSE in India is growing fast. Schools in India made over28,000 entries for Cambridge IGCSE this year, a rise of 24% since 2011. 47 schools inMumbai made entries in the 2011-2012 Cambridge IGCSE exam series (November 2011 andJune 2012) - a rise of 24% from last year. The classification of schools and those attendingthem 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 interm of both area, production and consumer preference.India is the second largest producer and consumer ofrice in the world. Rice production in India crossed themark of 100 million MTnes in 2011-12 accounting for22.81% of global production in that year. The productivityof rice has increased from 1984 kg per hectare in 2004-05to 2372 kg per hectare in 2011-12. Indian share in globalrice production has been hovering in the range of 19.50 to24.52 % .Indian share dipped below 20 percent only in2009-10. Production of rice in India is expected to drop thisyear from 104.3 million MT to 101.80 million MT (including11.11 million MT rabi production) due to lower kharifoutput 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 byJapan and the USA. Cement consumption is very closely linked to the performance of theconstruction industry; however, since cement is used in both residential and non-residentialconstruction, it doesn’t experience extreme cycles. The non-residential sector is classifiedinto 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. Constructionactivities are in turn closely related to a number of macroeconomic factors such as consumerspending, population growth, manufacturing sector growth, inflation rates, governmentspending etc. The construction industry is the second largest industry in India afteragriculture. It accounts for about 11% of India’s GDP. It makes significant contribution tothe national economy and provides employment to large number of people. Constructionconstitutes 40% to 50% of India's capital expenditure on projects in various sectors such ashighways, roads, railways, energy, airports, irrigation etc. The market size of cement andready-mix concrete is defined as the amount of cement and ready-mix concrete productssupplied to the total Indian marketplace, in a particular period. Therefore, market size isdetermined by supply rather than demand. The Ready-mix concrete business in India is in itsnascent stage. In a developed country 70% of cement produced is used by the Ready-mixconcrete industry. The usage of Ready-mix concrete could not be implemented as investorsfelt that the plants would starve due to non-availability of cement. The levy of additionaltaxes and duties on RMC, entry tax and excise duty also contributed to the slowdevelopment of the concept.

FRUCTOSE SYRUP ROM 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 capitaconsumption of sugar and other products like Gur and Khandsari is going up and is expectedto increase from 12.3 and 12.5 kg to 17.0 kg and 16.0 kg respectively by the end of thiscentury. Studies on the raw material situation for the last 13 years reveal, that caneproduction has stagnated at about 60 tons per hectare with less than 1% increase per yearfrom 1977-78 to 1989-90. Any scope of enhanced production of sugar-cane must comemainly from the development of high yielding varieties and improved farm practices. Thelimitation of traditional sources for meeting the ever increasing demand of sweeteners mustbe recognized. Therefore, manufacture of sweeteners based on starchy materials offers anattractive source to fill up the demand-supply gap of sugar as suggested by experts. TheIndian scene of HFCS industry is at a nascent stage. One or two units engaged in this fieldare either in the establishment stage or had stopped producing HFCS due its high cost ofproduction and poor demand in the consumer sector. The production and consumption ofthis 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 anintensive campaign, highlighting the important advantages of HFCS, especially its rapidmetabolism process in the human body and independence of insulin. The know-how for themanufacture of maize starch and its subsequent conversion to liquid glucose,meltodextrines, dextrose and sorbitol is indigenously available. HFCS is finding an increaseduse in soft drinks manufactured in the advanced countries. 50% to complete replacement ofsugar with HFCS has been permitted in the U.S.A. Soft drink manufacturers in the countrymay also be persuaded to opt initially for at least 15-20% replacement. Gradually, otherindustries like bakery, processed foods, ice-creams etc., should also consider sugarreplacement by HFCS.

PHARMACEUTICAL PELLETS AND GRANULES

The Indian pharmaceutical industry is the fourth largest in the world in terms of volume ofoutput and thirteenth in domestic demand. However, the Indian industry, valued at USD 17bn in represented just over 1% of the global pharmaceutical industry (USD 1700 bn) in valueterms. The domestic market is estimated at Rs 680 bn. According to the Federation of IndianChambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), another apex industry association, there aresome 6,000 firms engaged in the sector. In terms of revenue gene-ration, there are 100 bigcompanies (including subsidiaries of MNCs) each with sales of at least USD 650,000, 200medium size companies with sales ranging between USD 210,400 and USD 650,000; and5700 small companies with sales of less than USD 210,400. Because many of thesecompanies focus on producing similar generic or same drugs, the industry is characterized byfierce competition and high volumes, razor-thin profit margins, overcapacity, and decliningprices. The growth has been driven by many factors, such as legislative reforms, growth incontract manufacturing and outsourcing, value added foreign acquisitions and joint venturesand India's acumen and expertise in reverse engineering of patented drug molecules. Indiahas, in the meantime, been trying to comply with the World Trade Organization's TradeRelated Intellectual Property Agreement (TRIPs) obligations. India is now among the top fivepharmaceutical emerging markets. The Indian pharma industry has been growing at acompounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 15 per cent over the last five yearsand has significant growth opportunities. The Indian pharmaceutical sector is expected togrow 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 beenthe front runner in a wide range of specialties involving complex drugs' manufacture,development, and technology. With the advantage of being a highly organized sector, thenumber 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 thepast five years. The industry weathered through triple-digit revenue spikes and double-digitdeclines. 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 toIBIS World industry analyst Agiimaa Kruchkin, “In 2013, industry performance is expected torecover on the back of rebounding iron ore prices.” Consequently, industry revenue isexpected to grow 4.7% to total $264.3 billion over the year. Profit has been similarlyunstable, though it has increased overall at an annualized rate of 5.5% to about 43.2% ofrevenue in 2013. Despite a volatile performance, tremendous growth over the period hasultimately 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 primarilyoccurred on the back of higher iron ore output and prices. Strong growth in large emergingnations, such as China and India, has driven the demand for iron ore and underpinnedhigher prices during most of the five-year period; as a result, industry revenue and profithave expanded rapidly. “The industry’s major players, such as Vale and Rio Tinto, have allbenefited from these positive conditions, which have allow these companies to acquireseveral smaller companies over the period and increase market share,” says Kruchkin.Nonetheless, the industry retains its low-to-moderate market share concentration. Total ironore 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 tradedinternationally. Trade occurs primarily between regions rather than within regions, althoughthere is some intraregional trade in Europe and North America. The major importing regionsare North Asia and Europe, while the major exporting regions are South America andOceania. 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 monthlypricing.

TOUGHENED GLASS

The glass industry represents a number of definable product segments: (a) flat glassincluding Float Glass, (b) glass containers and hollowware, (c) vacuum glass, (d) domesticand industrial glassware, (e) crystal glass, (f) fibreglass, (g) glass wool, (h) TV picture tubeglass shells, and (i) laboratory glass. Most of the glass products have both industrial andconsumer usages. Laboratory glass is a minor constituent. So are fibreglass and glasswool -although fibreglass is gaining momen-tum increasingly. The industry is growing at around8% per annum. Consumption per capita of glass in India is only about 0.8 kg compared to3.5 kg in China, 5.2 kg in Thailand, 12 kg in Malaysia and 2.5 kg in Indonesia. The totalorganised 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 majormarket supplier of glass products has been increasing with economic liberalisation and risingforeign investment. China accounts for about one-third share in the worldwide demand offlat glass. India has one of the lowest per capita flat glass consumption but with rapid growthin domestic construction and automotive market, it presents a significant opportunity forglobal majors, which have entered the market in a big way. India exports about 13,000tonne 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 acutback in exports by as much as 60% in the last couple of years. The two main entrants inthe glass industry in the recent years have been Float Glass (a technological variant of flat orsheet glass) and crystalware. Fibreglass and glass wool are still a small turnover industry buthas been operating in India for quite sometime. Flat glass is segmented into conventionalsheet glass and Float Glass. Float Glass is stronger (by 25%) than normal sheet glass. It alsohas 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 valuewith an aggregate of US$ 249.01 million (20 deals), according to data released by VCCEdge. Thehospital and diagnostics centre in India received foreign direct investment (FDI) worth US$ 1,597.33million, while drugs & pharmaceutical and medical & surgical appliances industry registered FDI worthUS$ 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). Based on thehealth indicators for India released by the WHO, CRISIL Research estimates the Indian healthcaredelivery industry to reach Rs 2.3 trillion in 2010-11. As healthcare coverage across the countryincreases, 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, itsshare in the overall market is expected to increase from 64 per cent in 2010-11 to 66 per cent by2015-16. The growth in demand for healthcare delivery services will be mainly driven by acombination of various factors including changing demographics, increasing income levels, greaterhealth awareness and increasing health insurance coverage. Investments of over Rs 5.6 trillionrequired to attain healthcare delivery benchmarks India lags behind several global benchmarks forhealthcare delivery. In terms of both healthcare infrastructure and manpower, India ranks below evendeveloping countries like China, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Vietnam in terms of both beds to populationand physicians to population ratios. In order to meet the global median of 24 beds per 10,000population, as per WHO statistics, investments of Rs 5.6 trillion would be required over the next 5years. The growth in the healthcare services in the country is primarily driven by the 350 millionstrong middle class people aspiring for quality healthcare services, thus increasing internationalconfidence on India as a potential, high quality and low cost medical tourism destination. According tothe WHO report, India needs to add 80,000 hospital beds each year for the next five years to meetthe demandsof its growing population. High quality talent pool, proven track record, favourablegovernment policies, ability todeliver healthcare services at low cost and high quality infrastructurehas put India on the global map for outsourcing various healthcare related services. This has beenfurther intensified by Government of India’s recent budget declarations, where enough emphasis hasbeen 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 thesecontain refreshing essentials in them. Many companies offer these chutneys in abundantflavors, 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 andherbs. Although originally intended to be eaten soon after production, modern chutneys areoften made to be sold, so require preservatives – often sugar and vinegar or chemical foodpreservatives like sodium benzoate – to ensure they have a suitable shelf life. Mangochutney, for example, is mangoes reduced with sugar. But pan chutney prepared frompremium quality ingredients give complete and long lasting pleasure such as primed naturalperfumed compounds, fresh flowers extracts, dried fruits made for the taste of diverseregional tang. It is available at very reasonable price range all across the globe to theclients. Basically the companies manufactured the pan chutney compound of mouthrefreshing elements. One of the basic advantages of our Pan Chutney Compounds is thatthey can be retained for long time after breaking their seal. There are so many flavored panchutney which has smoothly accepted by Indian people due to their variable tastes. Manydried fruits are used to make this like mango, pineapple, strawberry, saffron, khus etc whichgives a unique taste to it and makes it attractive and addictive to the people fond ofpaan.The markets of pan chutney are growing more in India and it has ample scope to takethe attention of paan lovers for more sell. Some companies like Gopal, Minar, Meenakshi areleading with that item and they are expecting more growth in near future with lots ofprospects.

CALCIUM PROPIONATE

Calcium propionate is the calcium salt of propionic acid.Another commonly used name for calcium propionate iscalcium propanoate. Propionic acid is a natural acidpresent in small quantities in many foods. In fermentedfoods however, propionic acid can be present in highconcentrations because it is produced by fermentationbacteria. Also the bacteria in the large intestine producepropionic acid. The propionate (IUPAC name propanoate)ion is C2H5COO-(propionic acid minus one hydrogen ion).A propionate or propanoate compound is a salt or esterof propionic acid.

L-LYSINE FROM MICROBIAL FERMENTATION

It can be said that the use of L-Lysine in animal feed in India islargely in the introductory stage at present. The demand is bound togo up, in view of the compulsive need to optimise the quality of theanimal feed by the producers to stay ahead in the competitivemarket. The Indian demand for L-Lysine is estimated to be around1000 tonnes per annum. Estimated growth rate in demand: 9 to10% per annum. The global demand for L-Lysine Hydrochloride isaround 5,00,000 tonnes per annum with the projected growth ratein demand of around 8.0%. Considering the fact that around 25,000tonnes of additional capacity has to be created for L-Lysine Mono-hydrochloride to meet the global demand every year, it should bepossible for the Indian project to take substantial share in theexport market. This would be so, in view of the fact that theMolasses based L-Lysine project in India would be globallycompetitive from the point of view of the cost factors. The importantaspects of the L-Lysine is that the product is based on canemolasses, 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 varioussizes, shapes and colours. Dark amber or brown glass greatly reduces UV light from spoilingthe beer.[1] However, lighter colored bottles are often used for marketing reasons. The firstnationwide 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. Glassoccurs naturally in two ways. When lightning strikes sand, the immense heat developedcauses the silica grains constituting sand to fuse into long tubes of glassy material calledfulgurites. Glass is also naturally formed when hot, molten lava from an erupting volcano issubjected to sudden, rapid cooling resulting in the deposition of under developed crystals ofglass, more rightly referred to asobsidian. The technique of glass making too is based onsimilar lines. People learned to make the first glass containers about two thousand yearsago. Molten glass was collected on the ends of hollow iron pipes and then expanded byblowing through the pipes. Slowly, people learnt to blow molten glass into moulds. Glassbottle making machines were introduced in the thirties. In the early seventies,environmentalists began arguing on the grounds that glass bottles added to pollution. Thisled to the setting up of numerous recycling centers where people could return bottles forreuse in other bottles. The entire process of bottle making is almost fully automated. Anautomated feeder separates a stream of molten glass into individual gobs. These are thendropped through tubes in a moving track. The gob is shaped into what looks like a shortbottle with thick walls and is called a parison. The parison is transferred to a final mouldmade of iron, which moves up and clamps around the glass. Air is blown into the glass till itacquires 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 theumbrella of Ministry of Commerce and Industry, government of India, is the apex body for promotingexports of Indian Spices. Established in 1987, the Board plays an important role as a developmentagency for Indian spices. Its board-based activities include formulation and important role as adevelopment agency for Indian spices. Its broad-based activities include formulation andimplementation of quality improvement system, research and development programmes, impartingeducation 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. Assistingexporters in trade fair participation and sending business delegations to identified markets for exportdevelopment. India is known as ‘the home of spices’. No India meal is considered complete withoutthe tangy and delectable flavour of Indian spices, locally known as ‘masala’. Indian spices are famousthe world over for their high medicinal values. There is no other country in the world that produces asmany kinds of spices as India. India grows over 50 different varieties of spices. The total production isaround 2.7 million tonnes. Of this, about 0.25 million tonne (8-10 per cent) is exported to more than150 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 andvanilla. The climate of the country is suitable for growing almost all kinds of spices. India can nowclaim to be the monopoly supplier of spice oils and oleoresins the world over. The consistent effortduring the last one decade has improved the share of value-added products in the exports basket to60 per cent. Because of the varying climate-from tropical to sub-tropical temperate-almost all spicesare grown splendidly in India. In fact, almost all the states and union territories of India grow one orthe other spices.

PARTICLE BOARD FROM BAGASSE

Bagasse is the waste of sugar industry. It can be used for the production of bagassebase board or solid fuels or for the production of power or for the production ofAlcohol. Now we are intending to produce bagasse base board. For the manufacturingof bagasse base board, it-should be in the form of fine particle and other rawmaterial used phenol formaldehyde base adhesive and neem leaf dust. The requiredplant machineries are solid mixing machine, hydraulic press, hot air dust or drier andS.S made mould. There is gradually demand increase in wood base products. Thereare few manufacturers who makes board by partial use of fine particles of bagasse.In this product manufacturing there is very minimum amount of environmentalpollution. 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 entrepreneurmay enter into this field will be successful. It is solid, sort and net easily breakable. Itis not easily effected by weather and temperature up to 60 0C. It can be transportfrom one place to another place. It can be sized easily according to requirement.

Few organized and many private organizations are engaged in the manufacturing ofply board or wood board or bagasse base board. There is growth about 5-8% perannum. These is no import of ply board, these is scope of export of ply board as wellas wood board is there. In the near future projected demand of bagasse base boardwill 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 theextent 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 lakhstonnes. Production of rice bran oil is currently estimated atabout 2 lakhs tonnes and hardly 10-15 per cent of it is ofedible grade, although the potential availability is reckonedat about 8 lakhs tonnes. The wide gap between the actualproduction and the potential availability of rice bran oil isprimarily due to the fact that at present around 70 per centof the paddy produced in the country is processed throughhuller mills while only 30 percent is processed by modernSheller mills. It has been estimated that huller mills numberabout 80,000 while there are only 28,000 modern Shellermills.

PAPAD PLANT (AUTOMATIC)

The Word "PAPAD" is quite familiar with Indians. Papad is a common Indian food normallytaken with meals. Some people take it along with tea also. It is a food which is liked bypeople of all states, people doing all type of occupations. It is well within the reach ofcommon people. Papad can be exported to other countries and can earn valuable foreignexchange as people in other countries have also taken interest in this food item. Some timebefore papads were made at home by the ladies and most of them know the process ofmaking them. At present also some of the housewives are making these, but their numberhas 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 anumber of reasons as follows: They are not free as ladies have also started working in officeslike men, they don't have ample space in their houses for making them, fresh papads areavailable in the market (all types), they have become sophisticated and don't want to makethem in their homes. Papad's are of different types i.e. made from urad dal, potatoes, riceetc. However, process of making all of them is very simple and absolutely identifical exceptthe formulations which may change according to one's taste. Papad's may be made by usingred or black pappers and their quantities may also be altered to make the product strong orlight in chilly. Normally papads are made round in shape and are thin like paper. All sizesand types of papads are available in the market and can be manufactured also under oneshed with almost the same plant and machineries. Papads are largely consumed byMarwadi's. There are people who like them so much that they don't enjoy the meal unlessand until papad is also served along with it. However, mostly it is eaten by frying in ghee oroil. Raw papad is quit flexible and don't crack when twisted and turned many times. Afterroasting and drying raw papad, becomes crisp and produces sound when eaten, it is alsovery tasty.
