Guar Gum Powder Using Splits

          Guar is also called guaran, is a Galactomannan. It is primarily the ground endosperm of guar beans. The guar seeds are dehusked, milled and screened to obtain the guar gum. It is typically produced as a free flowing, pale, off-white colored, coarse to fine ground powder. Guar gum is water-soluble plant mucilage obtained from the grand endosperms of cyanopsis tetragonoloba, cultivated in Pakistan as livestock feed. The water-soluble portion of the flour (85%) is called `guaran' and consists of 35% galactose, 63% mannose, probably combined in a polysaccharide 5-7% protein.

     India accounts for 80% of the total guar produced in the world and 70% is cultivated in Rajasthan. Pakistan, Sudan and parts of USA are the other major Guar growing countries. 75% of the Guar Gums or their derivatives produced in India are exported mainly to USA and European countries. The consumption pattern of guar seeds is largely influenced by the demand from the petroleum industry of the U.S. and the oil fields in the Middle East as the derivative products of these seeds are quite useful in the petroleum drilling industries. The U.S. alone constitute to around 70 thousand tonnes of guar and its derivatives demand. Also, in rest of the world, the trend of consumption has increased with time that has lead to the introduction of this crop in many countries. Germany & China account for about 24 percent of global consumption together. The export demand from India is around 2 lakh tons of Guar gum and the domestic market is of around 30,000 tons. Thus, it is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest.

Surgical Cotton & Bandages

       Surgical Bandages are the products manufactured from White Bleached Cotton gauge Cloth of suitable quality. These are available in various widths of running from 2.5 cm to 15 cms and of length from 3 meters or 4 meters. These are mainly used in hospital/Dispensaries for tying the wounds after dressing. The Function of bandages is to hold dressings in place to provide pressure or support. They may be inelastic, elastic, or become rigid after shaping for immobilization.

The demand of Surgical Absorbent Cotton is directly related with the increase in population and expansion of public health services. The demand for Surgical Absorbent Cotton increases with the increase in population and number of hospitals, dispensaries, nursing homes, health care centers etc. Progressive increase in health amenities offered by Government and coming up of new hospitals and health care centres in private sector even at small towns are contributing to the growth of absorbent cotton industry. Government hospitals and large nursing homes are the largest consumer for cotton wool. Surgical cotton or absorbent cotton is in great demand all over the world, but with desi cotton — considered ideal raw material for it — being edged out, manufacturers have been banking heavily on regular American cotton. As a whole it is a good project for entrepreneurs for investment.

Hard Gelatin Capsules

Capsules are solid dosage forms in which one or more medicinal and inert ingredients are enclosed in a small shell or container usually made of gelatin. There are two types of capsules, “hard” and “soft”. The hard capsule is also called “two piece” as it consists of two pieces in the form of small cylinders closed at one end; the shorter piece is called the “cap” which fits over the open end of the longer piece, called the “body”. The soft gelatin capsule is also called as “one piece”. Capsules are available in many sizes to provide dosing flexibility. Unpleasant drug tastes and odors can be masked by the tasteless gelatin shell.

          Hard gelatin capsules are a modern dosage form for medicinal use, stemming from the increased emphasis on pharmacokinetics found in drug development today. This has considerably expanded the range of possible formulations utilizing hard gelatin capsules as a simple dosage form for oral drug delivery. 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. India has the world's third largest active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) for the industry valued at a little less than USD 2 bn. Top 5 API producers account for approximately 6.5 %. The leading APIs are anti-infectives, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and respiratory drugs. Any entrepreneurs venture into this field will be successful.

IV Fluids (FFS Technology)

Intravenous fluids are fluids which are intended to be administered to a patient intravenously, directly through the circulatory system. These fluids must be sterile to protect patients from injury, and there are a number of different types available for use. Many companies manufacture packaged intravenous fluids, as well as products which can be mixed with sterile water to prepare a solution for intravenous administration.

I.V. fluid demand is normally linked to the number of hospital beds. Observations show that 18 bottles of I.V. fluids are consumed per bed per month in the country. The demand is estimated to increase at a rate of 9 to 12% per annum.  The present demand level is estimated to be around 2200 Lakh bottles per annum. Areas with high population density and average temperatures are major consumption areas of I.V. fluids. Demand is high Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal. North India alone account for one third of the total demand in the country. So any new entrants can venture in to this industry.

Baby Diaper & Sanitary Napkins

A diaper or nappy is a kind of underwear that allows one to defecate or urinate in a discreet manner. When diapers become soiled, they require changing; this process is often performed by a second person such as a parent or caregiver. Diapers are primarily worn by children who are not yet potty trained or experience bed wetting. However, they can also be used by adults with incontinence or in certain circumstances where access to a toilet is unavailable. These can include the elderly, those with a physical or mental disability, and people working in extreme conditions such as astronauts. It is not uncommon for people to wear diapers under dry suits.

Some disposable diapers include fragrances, lotions or essential oils in order to help mask the scent of a soiled diaper or to protect the skin. Care of disposable diapers is minimal, and primarily consists of keeping them in a dry place before use, with proper disposal in a garbage receptacle upon soiling. Stool is supposed to be deposited in the toilet, but is generally put in the garbage with the rest of the diaper. As a whole establishing Baby Diaper & Sanitary Napkin is one of the project which has good prospect for the entrepreneurs to invest.

Starch & Starch Derivatives

(With 4 MW Co-Generation Plant)

Maize starch chemical formula (C6H10O5)n also know as Corn starch or flour is a fundamental ingredient in most of the packaged food and industrial products; it is extracted from the corn kernel and has a distinctive appreance and feed. Maize starch in natural, modified, pregeletanised and dextrinised forms provides viscosity, texture and other desired properties to all types of food & paper, products from canned chilled frozen to microwaveable goods, dry mixes and extruded snacks. Practically every industry in existence uses starch or its derivatives in one form or another.

Indian maize has white, red, purple, brown or multicolored kernels and is characteristically dent corn. The dent corn is useful for starch processing by wet milling method. The total area under maize cultivation in the world is 139 million hectares with a production of 598 million MT (mMT). USA is the world's largest producer and exporter of maize with an output of 240 mMT from an area of 29 million hectares. Other major producers are China (125 mMT), European Union (39 mMT), Brazil (37 mMT), Mexico (19 mMT), Argentina (14 mMT) and India (11 mMT). Due to demand growth, it is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest.

Crude Rubber Processing

Naturally, rubber is produced by the process of tapping of the plant called Hevea Brasiliensis. The rubber tree is a native of the Amazon River basin in South America. The ideal rubber growing regions should be 8 degree North of Equator, 10 degree South of Equator, and high temperature, altitude not beyond 400m and high humidity.

Malaysia and China have 1,237 and 932 thousand hectares under rubber respectively. India has around 687 thousand hectares under rubber plantations. As per the Rubber Board, India now occupies the first rank in terms of productivity at 1,819 kg/ha. China being the fastest growing economy of the world is also the world’s largest natural rubber consuming country. At 3,603 thousand tonnes it consumes 33% of the total rubber consumed over the world.As a whole it is a good project for entrepreneurs for investment.

Dextrose Powder

Dextrose in food is a simple sugar. It is actually a type of glucose, which is a monosaccharide that is widely found in nature and is used by nearly every living organism as a source of energy at the cellular level. The glucose molecule comes in two molecular forms that are mirror images of one another, and dextrose is one of those forms. Dextrose (or D-Glucose) is a simple hexose mono-saccharide sugar. It is so called because it turns the plane of polarization to the right. Entirely derived from corn it is free from all other sugars and starches, proteins, alcohols and heavy metals. It is the natural form of Glucose.

The demand for dextrin and dextrose is highly influenced by the growth of the manufacturing sectors mainly textiles, glass, printing ink, food, soft drink, tanning, tobacco and the like. The manufacturing sector has been growing by more than 6% in the past few years.

Mosquito Coils (Automatic Plant)

Mosquitoes need to be exterminated using with right tools and little bit of effort. Mosquito coil is mosquito-repelling incense, usually shaped into a spiral, and typically made from a dried paste of pyrethrum powder. The coil is usually held at the center of the spiral, suspending it in the air, or wedged by two pieces of fireproof nettings to allow continuous smoldering. Burning usually begins at the outer end of the spiral and progresses slowly toward the centre of the spiral, producing a mosquito-repellent smoke.

At present there is excellent scope for its manufacture. It is therefore advisable to carry out a little research work in formulating, before the marketing is done. The competition in this line is very less and its scope of consumption is large have in comparison. Today, Mortein's 11 per cent share makes it the second largest brand in the Rs. 350 crore pest control market. Godrej Hi-Care, with its Good Knight, Hit and Jet brands, is leading with a collective 45 per cent share. But according to RCI, the leader might see a battle among its own brands (say, Good Knight versus Jet in mats), from which it could benefit. On the other hand, Sara Lee's considerable stake in Godrej Hi-Care has put RCI on alreat. Meanwhile, Baygon continues to be strong in liquids, though low key on advertising. Due to demand growth, it is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest.

Among the leading providers of advanced products are Siemens, GE, Philips Medical Systems, Toshiba, Hitachi and Boston Scientific. So any new entrants can venture in to this industry.

Cattle Feed

The principal feed resources for animal consumption in the country are crop residues like straws of wheat, rice and other cereals and stovers, which are very poor in feed value. Even these are in short supply. These are supplemented to some extent by relatively better quality fodders like cultivated leguminous and non-leguminous fodder grasses and concentrates. Livestock in the country, therefore, suffer widely from insufficient supply of nutrients. The unconventional agro-industrial by products and forest wastes may find a greater use as livestock feeds in coming years.

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 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. Thus, it is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest due to growing demand.

Automatic Papad Plant

TMT Bars

Steel is a generic name for a group of ferrous metals which due to their abundance durability versatility and low cost are most useful metallic material known to mankind. Thermo Mechanical Treatment (TMT) process for reinforcement bars is opening up new vistas in composite RCC, the re-enforcing steel is the costliest constituent (30 To 40% Per Cu. M. of concrete). This cost can be substantially reduced by using higher grades of steel re-enforcing bars. The higher yield strength of re-bars lowers the steel requirement, which results in reduced cost of construction. In India, high strength re-bars of yield strength up to 500 N/sq. mm. are produced either by cold twisting or micro-alloying or a combination of both which adds considerably to the cost of the re-enforcement bars.

Global steel production has crossed the 1 billion ton mark due to an upturn in steel demand during the last few years on the back of recovery in the global economy. Global steel trade has now increased to around 350 MT. The industry though continues to be fragmented with top 5 players accounting for less than 20% of the total industry capacity. Global steel manufacturers are increasingly realizing the need to have alliances and consolidation activity has picked up all over the world during the last 2-3 years. Due to demand growth, it is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest & any entrepreneurs venture into this field will be successful.

Rubber Compound Toys (using Plaster of Paris)

Toys are used by everybody in his child hood. Every house has few toys. Rubber toys are one of the cheaper and best substitutes of electronic toys, plastic toy and other type of toys. Two types of hollow rubber toys of various sizes can be made by plaster casting process depending on the type of rubber used viz. Hard and soft. These are used for entertaining children.

The Indian toy industry is estimated at about 850 million US dollars and until now has generated only 0.5 per cent of the global market. The growth of around 15 per cent promises to rapidly raise this figure, especially in the context of the growing middle class and the increasing willingness to spend money on luxury goods. India itself has more than 800 toy manufacturers, exporters and suppliers, which means that 60 per cent of the market is handled by Indian manufacturers and foreign companies with subsidiaries in India. The Toy Association of India estimates that about 90 per cent of the Indian toy industry belongs to the non-organized sector.Any entrepreneurs venture into this field will be successful.
