Chapter 1

INTRODUCTION

Palakkad District was formed on 01-01-1957; and it is situated in almost the central part of the

State. There has been rapid growth of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in the District, since

formation. The Industrial Estates functioning at Kanjikode, Pupdusery etc. are the prominent areas

where major Industries are functioning. The proximity of the District to the major Industrial areas

of Coimbatore and Pollachi, in Tamil Nadu is a supporting factor behind the growth of MSMEs in

the District. Besides, the District is well connected by Road, Rail and proximity to Airport at

Coimbatore, Kozhikkode, Kochi and Kannur and also having a wide network of Road. To

reinforce' the endeavors of developing the district, NABARD has selected Palakkad as one district

for the implementation of District Rural Industries Project (DRIP). Palakkad is the only district in

the state selected for implementation of Backward Region Grant Fund (BRGF). Both the projects

are expected to usher in significant and 'sustainable development' in the industrial area.

up the park forwarded by Kerala Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (Kinfra), was

approved by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) of Union Government. The

proposed Rs 231 crore defence components park is to be established in the Ottappalam town of the

Palakkad district of Kerala, as part of the Union Government's flagship Make in India programme

and the state government's Make in Kerala project. The park could start operation in one year and

reach maximum production in two years. Also, as per the reports, KINFRA has acquired 60 acres

of land in Palakkad and will ensure dedicated power and water supply, and communication

facilities for the easy start up of industrial units. The Union government will be investing Rs 50

crore in setting up the park, and the rest of the amount would be met by the Kerala state

government. The establishment of the park is likely to bridge the gap in the manufacturing of

defense components in the country. As estimated, the sector has demands of manufacturing and

selling such products for up to 700 million dollars a year in the country itself. The same is also

likely to provide a platform for the export of products related to defence from various small and

medium sized enterprises.

4.2 Distribution of Registered MSME units

Before the enactment of MSMED Act 2006, mandatory SSI registration was there, and as

per the 4th census of MSME held in 2008-09, the total number of working enterprises (small scale

industries) in the district was 10266. After 2006, filing of Entrepreneur Memorandum came into

effect under MSMED Act and is not mandatory for micro and small enterprises. Thus the total

number of units identified and total number of registered units will not be tallied each other.

The following table shows the year wise distribution of MSMEs according to the issuance

of Part II acknowledgement under IEM Filing (working units) under MSMED Act 2006 in the

district up to the month of August 2014, and then under UAM filing up to 31-03-2017. This data

does not cover the SSI registration issued up to October 2006, but gives a picture on the distribution

of MSMEs in various Years.

f) Cluster activities

The growth thrust in the MSME sector today hinges on the theory of horizontal integration

and collective efficiency. As enterprises get horizontally integrated, the opportunities of tapping

external economies grow up. Clustering is the horizontal integration of homogeneous industries by

policy. Even though, MSME sector is highly heterogeneous, a more regional, sub-sectoral and

cluster level integration of enterprises by way of policy or voluntary initiatives will help for

enhanced production and marketing of products.

There were 6 coir clusters in Chittur and Palakkad Taluks. But now they are not

functioning.

g) Scope of new clusters in the District.

There is a scope of Garment Cluster in the District. Effort is taken to achieve it. Also

Clusters of Cement products, General Engineering and Food processing units have much chances in

the District.

h) Traditional sectors in the District

72

Handlooms, Coir, Pottery, Wood crafts and Tribals handicrafts are major

traditional sectors in this District.

i) Major exports / Export Potentials in the District.

Rice, Readymade Garments, Rubber, Mango, Coconut Oil, Value added products from

jackfruits, Handicrafts from forest resources, clay based pottery, Foods products like spices powder,

curry powder, Refracting snacks, are major exporting products or have potential to be exported.

Chapter 5

SWOT ANALYSIS

Considering the resources available in the Blocks and Municipalities, the supportive

industrial policies of central and state governments, the present status of industries and also the

interaction with the cross section of entrepreneurs and other development agencies, an analysis of the

inherent Strengths and Weaknesses of the industrial sector along with the Opportunities and Threat

(SWOT) present in the system has been attempted and summarized

Strengths

• Abundant agriculture based raw materials and availability of Paddy, Coconut, Mango, and other

agricultural products offers good scope for setting agro based

industries within the District.

• Availability of cheap labour compared to other Districts.

• Proximity to Kanjikode, the major industrial area of the district.

• Good communication and power net work

• A good network of rivers, canals, ponds and dams are available in the

district ensure water everywhere for all purposes.

• The Proximity to Coimbatore and Pollachi offers good interstate

market to entrepreneurs.

• District is having a good network of road and Power system.

• Cost of land is cheap compared to other parts of the state.

• Good transportation facility of Road and Railway as a Gateway to all other States. Coimbatore

international air port is near to this District.

• Availability of NRI Contribution.

• Professional and young entrepreneurs

• A good infrastructure facilities available such as communication,

educational institutions, banks, insurance companies and health facilities.

• Technical institutions such as engineering colleges, polytechnic, ITIs

etc., offer facilities for research and development activities in the

district.

73

• Central institute of Technological & Research Organisation at

Coimbatore is near to this District.

• Purchasing power is very high

• Availability of raw materials

• Education level is good

• Climate condition is ideal

Weaknesses

• Availability of industrial land is very low.

• The agrarian culture of the people in the district causes a major hurdle

for rapid industrialization.

• Dependency on the sources of Coimbatore lessens the market

opportunities of the local units.

• Lack of sufficient ancillary units

• The proximity to established industrial units at Coimbatore District of Tamil Nadu causes

hindrance to the industrial growth for the enterprises within the district, such as mass production

that leads to low cost, and low cost of production.

• Lack of entrepreneurial characteristics like, hard work, risk taking

capacity etc.

• Non availability of skilled workers.

• High level of overdue of loans in industrial sector inhibits the credit flow from financial

institutions.

• Higher wage levels and fewer turnovers in local units make the products less price competitive.

• Enable the local enterprises more competitive to expand the local market

• Slow absorption of Innovation & change

• Well-developed industrial estates with high tech facilities are yet to be developed.

• The low voltage problem and power fluctuations in certain areas are acute in peak

• hours which retards the industrial activities.

Opportunities

• There are good industrial infrastructure in the district especially Kanjikode

• The climatic condition of the district is suitable for setting up of a range of units.

• In Palakkad Indian Institute of Technology is started functioning.

• The garment units can get all their textile requirements from Coimbatore and Thiruppur that are

well connected.

74

• Government of Kerala has acquired land in this district for setting up of integrated railway coach

factory

• Industries department has proposed for setting up of multi storied building for development

industrial ancillary units

• Both skilled and unskilled labour is available in this district.

• The traditional industries such as food processing, handloom, agriculture implements and cutlery

are having good brand equity.

• Government of Kerala has set up a new Medical College at Yakkara area

• Scope for cluster approach in the sectors like, Bamboo, Coir, Readymade garments, Handloom

etc.

Threats

• Legislations regarding agricultural land conversion and environmental issues.

• Some parts of the district is classified as ecologically sensitive area,

• (Muthalamada Village I & II), which in turn block the further investment flow in that area.

• Ecological problems will adversely affect the industrial growth in

the district like changing the topography of land, utilization of large

quantity of groundwater, air pollution and water pollution.

• Migration of skilled people to various other states of India as well as abroad.

• Lack of entrepreneurship ends in the early closing of industries.

• Diminishing forest resources prevent the development of timber and related industries

• The ongoing development of Cochin and Mangalore ports will attract export oriented units to

those areas.

• The tendency of the people to invest in neighboring areas of the district especially in Tamil Nadu

affects the growth negatively.

• In rural areas it is not possible to operate more than one shift, as the culture and facilities do not

support working outside 9.00AM-5.00PM in a day, whereas in neighbouring Coimbatore district,

the turnover is high.

• Harassment of Trade union.

Based on the SWOT analysis done it can be seen that the district hasgot certain unique

advantages. The opportunities in the District are quite good. The effect of weaknesses of the district can

be minimized by careful identification of suitable projects and through strategic development

Chapter 8

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATION TO IMPROVE INDUSTRIAL SCENARIO

In order to address the various problems faced by MSMEs spread over various sectors and ensure

their sustainable development, the sector wise remedial measures are suggested as explained below.

FOOD PRODUCTS

• Policy: Entry of unauthorised (without BIS certification) products should be seized by the FSSAI

authorities. Facilities must be provided for emergence of a strong agro based industrial sector.

Govt level quality certification may be strengthened by directly visiting and inspecting food

manufacturing and service MSMEs

• Training: training programmes for food processing and Awareness programmes for food

security act and food adulteration will be of great use and to get familiarise with making of

quality products and use of innovative technologies

• Tax: The existing high rate of tax should be reduced considerably

READY MADE GARMENTS

Policy: Policy formation such as procurement of uniforms for the students of Colleges as well as

schools may also be from handloom cooperative societies and MSMEs will boost the growth of this

sector and its survival.

PAPER AND PAPER PRODUCTS

• Training: Management awareness programme is required for effective running of these sector

units. Training is also required for adoption of new and improved technologies.

• Financing: Since plastic waste and its management and recycling is an emerging environmental

issue, thrust should be given to equivalent paper based products. Hence to promote paper based

manufacturing units such as paper plate, paper carry bag, paper cup etc more financial support

from Govt. side is required.

• Licensing: All clearances should be obtained through a single window system

• Marketing: For getting better price for paper plates and other paper based products,

Consumption and sale of Plastic based similar products may be regulated as far as possible. This

may reduce the environmental issues also.

89

GENERAL ENGINEERING SECTOR

• Training: Small and medium scale enterprises should be trained and encouraged financially by

State Govt for adoption of new technologies and move into new line of operation of the capacity

of the existing ones.

• Policy: Existing Govt. sector companies should show some preferences in procuring from the

small and medium scale enterprises rather than sourcing it from outside, which will result in the

development of the small and medium scale enterprises and also will provide job opportunities in

MSME sector. Micro level small invested units may be avoided from pollution norms and getting

certificates

OTHER MISCELLANEOUS SECTOR

• Policy: After starting the industry in remote areas, erection of residential building will affect the

existence of the industrial units due to unnecessary pollution problems raised by the occupants.

Regulation may be framed to avoid closing the units such as those engaged in manufacturing of

cement based construction materials due to emergence of residential buildings.

• Raw material: Availability of paraffin wax at subsidised rates to candle manufacturing units

may be considered for the existence of this industry.

• Power: Restoration of concessions by KSEB in respect of connection and labour charges to

cement based manufacturing MSMEs

Chapter 9

CONCLUSION

So far we have passed through the different topics such as the availability of various

resources, Infrastructure facilities, Industrial scenario, Industrial resource analysis through category,

sector and year, supporting agencies and institutions, SWOT analysis, consolidated and sorted

potentials, its possibilities and improving recommendations in this District. Now we conclude that

Palakkad District is a fast developing district with very high industrial potential. For its smooth and

convenient growth, care has been taken and support should be given by the authorities to the

enterprenuers for life. Rules and regulations should also be simplified. We hope the coming Ease of

Doing Business Act may hold a great role in this regard. Also local self Government can undertake

a major role while framing the policy of industrial development.

2.COCONUT OIL MILL

II. INTRODUCTION

Coconut palms are grown widely in the coastal tracts of the country. Copra, the dried kernel is the chief commercial product from coconut, which is mainly used for oil extraction. Copra normally has an oil content varying from 65 to 72 percent. For the extraction of oil from copra the common method still prevailing in our country is by using rotary chucks. But the efficient system of extraction of oil is by the use of expellers. II. FIXED ASSETS

V. MANUFACTURING PROCESS Well dried copra with a moisture content not exceeding 6 per cent is cleaned well from any foreign matter. It is then cut into small chips in a copra cutter. The chips are fed into steam jacketed kettles and cooked mildly at a temperature of 70oC for 30 minutes. After proper cooking, the cooked material is fed into the expeller continuously and pressed twice. The combined oil from the first and the second pressing is collected in a tank provided separately. This oil is filtered by means of a filter press and stored in MS tanks. Bulk packaging is done in tin containers. HDPE containers and polymeric nylon barrier pouches are used for small consumer packings. The quality of copra is related to the quality of coconut oil. The oil cake obtained as a by-product will find a ready market as a cattle feed and in the manufacture of mixed cattle feeds or as a raw material for the extraction of remaining oil by solvent extraction method.


Plant & machinery and raw materils are available with certain domestic suppliers . The machineries are working on electricity and comparatively less pollution is caused.

3. PACKAGED FOOD PRODUCTS

I.INTRODUCTION It is needless to mention that the need for the food materials like rice

flour, atta, maida, chilly powder, coriander powder, spices powder etc in the present style of life. Most of the peoples prefer such packaged food materials for their daily uses because it saves much time as well as effort. Hence the demand for such materials increases day by day.

Coconut oil is an important cooking medium in Southern parts of the country especially in Kerala State. Besides, the oil has varied industrial applications. It is used in the manufacture of toilet soaps, laundry soaps, surface active agents and detergents, hair tonics, cosmetics, etc. It is used throughout the country as hair oil as it helps growth of the hair. As massage oil it has a cooling effect on the body.

X. MARKETING

Owing to the above qualities coconut oil has a potential market in the country. Since the price of coconut oil in the international market is very much lower than the domestic price, the quality and attractiveness of consumer packs are important factors to compete in the world market. While the demand for coconut oil for cooking purpose is elastic, its demand as hair oil is inelastic.

7. MANUFACTURING OF PAPPADAM

INTRODUCTION

Pappad is a inevitable part of the food chain of all Indians especially south Indians. Pappadam is a thin

wafer-like very tasty and popular food product. Any individual can initiate pappadam making business

as small-scale, home-based basis or in a large scale. Papad making is considered as a very lucrative

and profitable food manufacturing opportunity, considering the low-cost capital investment. Papad

making business is often associated with the empowerment of women in India but in view of increasing

demand and availability of machinery, it has now been developed in small-scale industry. An

entrepreneur having knowledge about FMCG marketing can start this business with moderate capital

investment. It can be initiated in small scale from home location also. Pappadam can be manufactured

with or without the help of machineries.In this project we are discussing the manufacturing of

Pappadam by means of Machineries

MARKET POTENTIAL

Demand for different varieties of papad is increasing steadily. The demand is steady throughout the

year and it generally hikes 10-155% during the festive season. In the Indian context, there is some

national brand, but the market is predominantly controlled by local manufacturers. In initiating papad

making business, it is advisable to make a prior market research about the preferred tastes of local

consumers.

Manufacturing Process

Generally weighed quantity of floor is taken in a mixer. A solution of common salt and carbonates is

added in requisite quantity of water and the contents are kneaded at maximum speed to get a

homogenous lump of the dough. After resting the dough for 30 minutes, it is divided into balls. These

are pressed into circular discs using Press Machines. Corn starch can be used as dusting material to

prevent stickiness. The papads are then sun dried.

8. TYRE

INTRODUCTION

Tyre Retreading is a new technology, where the old ty res are made serviceable by

removing worn out and damaged treads and replacing it with new treads. New treads

are available in the market in form of rolls and in brief, in can be put on old tyre and

cured with the help of steam. Similar to the new tyres, the treated tyres can be very

well used on all vehicles, irrespective of light or heavy vehicles. With a safe and new

technology, which is being adopted now-a-days, it will be more easy and economical

to produce tyres. As day by day, more and more vehicles are running on roads, hence

more tyrs are required for replacement. With further growth of economy, there will be

an increase in transport as well as passenger vehicles and hence more tyres will be

required. Hence, there is a very wide scope for retread tyres as an original

replacement.

13. READY MADE GARMENTS INTRODUCTION Knitting has been practiced as a craft in many parts of the world from ancient times.

In India, the first cotton hosiery unit was established in 1893. With the growth of population and the

improvement in the standard of living the demand for knitted fabrics has been increasing the knitting

industry monopolized in the field of underwear, socks, stockings, jackets and sportswear. Recently,

there has been a spurt in the demand for knitted garments which are used as outer garments also. The

technology used for knitting in India is being improved with the introduction of modern machines. The

Bureau of Indian Standards has not prescribed any standards for knitted garments. However, the buyers

prescribe the standards for the final products according to their requirements like count of yarn to be

used, specification of knitted fabric, colours, size, design and attachments etc.

MARKET POTENTIAL Since 1972 the market for readymade garments has been expanding, mainly due to

increase in demand for casual wear, T-shirts and garments made from wash and wear fabrics. The

Share of Knitted Garment export is about Rs. 10000 Crores. The garment exports have continued to

maintain their upward trend during the current year also. Garments made according to individual

specifications are exported to over 60 countries, worldwide. The signing of the GATT accord has thrown

tremendous challenges to the apparel industry. A ten year time frame from 1995 has been given by

which time India will be a world leader in garment trade. It has been agreed that the quota system

followed by countries like the USA for textile imports shall be gradually removed over a period of next

five years. PRODUCTION CAPACITY The installed capacity of the unit proposed is 3,60,000 pieces of Knitted garments per

annum at 100% capacity utilization, which is based on 1200 garments per day, the unit works for 300

days per year on single shift basis.

1. Introduction

India is the third largest coconut producing country in the world. Copra and

coconut oil are the two major products of the coconut processing industry. Nearly

60% of the total production of nuts is utilized for food uses and the rest goes in

for oil extraction. In spite of the fact that our country has the necessary raw

material to launch new product lines, minimal progress has taken place in the

application of modern technology for full utilization of various coconut products

such as desiccated coconut, coconut cream, partially defatted coconut gratings,

bottled coconut water, etc., At present about 4000 tones of desiccated coconut is

produced annually. The main concentrations of units producing desiccated

coconut are in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Orissa and Maharashtra.

Desiccated coconut is not only a value added product but it being a labour

intensive industry will also generate a large number of employment

opportunities.

The present production is absorbed by the food processing industries for various

end uses. Market surveys have shown that desiccated coconut powder in consumer

packs is widely accepted by the middle class segments in preference to raw nuts.

5 .Manufacturing Process

Cake

To make cakes what flour and baking powder along with cream, sugar along ghee is

mixed thoroughly till it becomes fluffy. Then mixture of beaten eggs is added to it

along with caramel color & chopped fruits before the mixture is poured into cake pans

& baked for around 30-40 minutes. Pastries are made in different shapes like square,

rectangular etc from thick cake sheets. Butter cream, jam etc placed between layers of

cake. The layered cake is then chilled and cut with sharp knife in the required shape

and size.

Bun

Dissolve yeast and water with complete addition of sugar. Stir with mixture till a

homogenous solution is formed. The temperature of the mixture is kept 30-35 degree.

Now salt is added in the mixture & it is stirred to obtain homogenous solution. Now

flour & shortening is added to make soft dough. The mixture is allowed to ferment for

the least one hour. The dough is now put in the moulds & passed through the baking

oven in which the temperature is controlled to 250 degree celcious. The baking time is

kept for 20 minutes. The hot bun is now cooled to 30 degree by passing it through

cooling unit & then it packed.

Biscuits

Mixing of ingredients except flour in required proportion in paste form. Preparation of

dough by mixing with flour. Placing dough in biscuits moulding, cooling & baking.

9. Scope of the Project :

10. Marketing

The major market outlets are the “A” and “B” class stores. The product also

finds

placement in self service counters and departmental stores. Bakeries buy desiccated

coconut in bulk quantities for use in different products. Desiccated coconut is mainly

used in the manufacture of sweets, caked ressings, pastries, chocolates and biscuits. It

is also used in curries and puddings in place of raw coconut. It is estimated that 30%

of production goes to biscuit manufacturers, 10% to confectionery and 60% to

bakeries, sweets and other products..A study conducted by the Coconut Development

Board has revealed that a growing consumer demand for desiccated coconut powder

could be developed in the country by resorting to organized market promotion

activities for the popularization of the product in consumer packs for household uses.

The survey has also shown that desiccated coconut powder in consumer packs is

acceptable not only in non-coconut producing states but also in Kerala. From the

survey it was revealed that a sizeable section of the middle class and upper class

families residing in cities and towns in Kerala would prefer desiccated coconut

powder, if readily available, to raw nuts.
