Steel industry: Project Opportunities in Karnataka

 

PROFILE:

Steel Industry is a booming industry in the whole world. The increasing demand for it was mainly generated by the development projects that have been going on along the world, especially the infrastructural works and real estate projects that has been on the boom around the developing countries. India’s economic growth is contingent upon the growth of the Indian steel industry. Consumption of steel is taken to be an indicator of economic development. While steel continues to have a stronghold in traditional sectors such as construction, housing and ground transportation, special steels are increasingly used in engineering industries such as power generation, petrochemicals and fertilisers. India occupies a central position on the global steel map, with the establishment of new state-of-the-art steel mills, acquisition of global scale capacities by players, continuous modernisation and up gradation of older plants, improving energy efficiency and backward integration into global raw material sources.

RESOURCES:

Karnataka is the 3rd largest producer of steel in India with a current production level of 10.70 Million Tons per annum. Both alloy and non-alloy steel are produced and the product range includes basic steels like pig iron and sponge iron, ingot, blooms, billets, slabs, finished products like long products CTD & TMT (bars & rods), wire rod, sections, bright bars, CR/HR coils. The export of steel from Karnataka is around 0.96 Million Tons.

It is one among 6 major steel producing states. Karnataka is the 2nd largest in the country in terms of iron ore reserves and largest exporter of iron ore in the country. Hence, it can share more than 40% of the steel demand in India which is estimated as 124 million tons by 2011-12 and 50% of the exports of finished steel products. Based on this estimate, Karnataka can host a manufacturing steel base for more than 100 million tons capacity per annum.

GOVERNMENT POLICIES:

Under the new industrial policy, iron and steel has been made one of the high priority industries. Price and distribution controls have been removed  as well as foreign direct investment up to 100% (under automatic route) has been permitted.  The Trade Policy has also been liberalized and import and export of iron and steel is freely allowed with no quantitative restrictions on import of iron and steel items. Tariffs on various items of iron and steel have drastically come down since 1991-92 levels and the government is committed to bring them down to the international levels.  With the abolishing of price regulation of iron and steel in 92, the steel prices are market determined. The policy devises a multi-pronged strategy to achieve these targets with following focus areas; removal of supply constraints especially availability  of critical inputs like iron ore; improve cost competitiveness by expanding and strengthening the infrastructure in roads, railways, ports and power; increase exports; meet the additional capital requirements by mobilizing financial resources; promote investments by removing  procedural delays. In addition the policy also addresses challenges arising out of environmental concerns, human resource requirements, R&D, volatile steel prices and the secondary sector.

The domestic waste generated by households comprises mainly of organic, plastic & paper waste & small quantities of the waste. Plastic & glass are segregated at the household level or by rag pickers and sold. The remaining waste is disposed in community bins, discarded ointments and medicine. In addition about 1 to 2% of biomedical waste also gets mixed with municipal solid waste in the community bins.

GOVERNMENT POLICIES:

National policy on waste management is set out in the October 1998 policy statement on waste management - Changing our Ways. It outlines the Government's policy objectives in relation to waste management, and suggests some key issues and considerations that must be addressed to achieve these objectives. The policy is firmly grounded in an internationally recognised hierarchy of options, namely prevention, minimisation, reuse/recycling, and the environmentally sustainable disposal of waste which cannot be prevented or recovered.

Dry Fruits Processing (Cashew, Almond, Walnut, Raisins (Kishmish/Munnakka) and Figs)

Cashew nuts are a popular snack and food source. Cashews, unlike other oily tree nuts, contain starch to about 10% of their weight. This makes them more effective than other nuts in thickening water-based dishes such as soups, meat stews, and some Indian milk-based desserts.The almond fruit measures 3.5–6 cm (1–2 in) long. In botanical terms, it is not a nut, but a drupe. The outer covering or exocarp, fleshy in other members of Prunus such as the plum and cherry, is instead a thick, leathery, grey-green coat (with a downy exterior), called the hull.A raisin is a dried grape. Raisins are produced in many regions of the world and may be eaten raw or used in cooking, baking, and brewing. In the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zeal and Australia, the word "raisin" is reserved for the dark-colored dried large grape, with "sultana" being a golden-colored dried grape, and "currant" being a dried small Black Corinth seedless grape.Figs are a delicious fruit like treat and popularly known as “Anjeer” in India. Fig fruit is one of the ancient fruits in the world. The fig fruit is unique, unlike most ‘fruits’ in which the structure is matured ovary tissue, and the fig’s edible structure is actually a stem tissue.Walnuts are rich source of a number of important nutrients that have a very positive effect on the human health. The nut length was found in the range of 35.17-41.37 mm, nut diameter (31.72 mm-34.32 mm), Nut thickness (32.21-35.10 mm), nut weight (10.30 g-19.22 g). Nuts and dried fruits in India offer a unique opportunity to meet the needs of a consumer who is looking to adopt a new wellness life style without having to forego traditional values -a consumer who is increasingly concerned with health but is not willing to compromise on taste. The nut and dried fruit industry in India is currently pegged at INR 15,000 crores (~ USD 2 billion) and is estimated to grow to INR 30,000 crores (~ USD 4 billion) by 2020, according to the Chairman of Royal Dried Fruits Range, a city-based dried fruits retailer.This facilitates the development of new technologies and ensures a high quality product.

Truck Body Building Industry. How to Start a Profitable Automobile Body Building Business Automobile body building is an important activity. The chassis are supplied by Automobile manufacturers, and body is built by automobile body builders. Bus/Truck is used as the most common public transport vehicle in our country. Different State Transport Undertakings are plying their buses for commuting public from one place to another and from one State to another. Apart from these Undertakings, Private Bus Operators, travel agencies etc. are also operating buses on permit basis. There are two basic types of products: on-road and off-road. On-road truck bodies are designed for vehicles that travel mainly on highways and paved roads. Off-road truck bodies are designed for trucks that travel on unimproved roads or cleared land. Some truck bodies are designed for vehicles used in mining, agriculture, construction, or farming activities. Others attach to tow trucks and wreckers, delivery vans and vehicles, water sprayers, cable and telephone trucks, and repair equipment Automobiles body building units generally specialize in a few types of vehicles. For example, a body building workshop of small capacity can undertake either trucks or buses of standard design or mini buses or delivery vans or similar other vehicles used for commercial transportation of goods & passengers. But, sufficiently big auto-body building factories can undertake a range of chassis’s for constructing and mounting body on them. Auto-body building involves a lot of structural designs, wood & metal working processes, fastening techniques surface protection measures, arranging various accessories and instruments electrical and safety devices at proper places. Such a factory requires to be fully equipped with full-range of wood/metal working machines and tools, treating and testing equipment’s, high level of productivity and quality oriented team and much more facilities indeed. Body building is a labour-oriented work where all calibers of personnel’s and hardworking labourers are treated as assets. Classification of Truck Bodies Trucks are categorized on the basis of truck body construction like the following: 1. Flat platform 2. Drop side 3. Fixed side 4. Tipper body 5. Tanker body (1) Flat Platform A flat structure consists of a floor blade with edge members and beams which are used to mount the engine and suspension elements. A flatbed truck is made up of a chassis fitted with a platform body on which goods are carried. Cargo is secured on the deck with ropes or sheeting. Flat beds are flexible and can accommodate many different types of loads. (2) Drop Side Type Body This type of body follows the main structure of the flat platform body with an addition of timber sides and a tailboard, capable of being drop to assist in loading and unloading. • A drop side body is a flat platform with hinged sides and tailboard, held in the upright position by fastening to short vertical pillars that are generally removable. • The sides are normally made up by interlocking hollow plank sections. (3) Fixed Side Deck or Half Body The fixed neck type provides the lightest weight however but a sacrifice on the ability to detach and loading capacity from the front. For the ease of detaching and being faster in achieving this task the low deck has the hydraulic detachable trailers, but they compromise on the weight and length of deck. They are among the most common and versatile used trucks. The hydraulics of this type can be run from the truck auxiliary or pony motor in the neck of the trailer. (4) Tipper Body The prime requirement of any tipping body is that it shall be a rigid unit capable of withstanding the rough usage to which the type of body is subjected. • A tipper body is attached to a rigid cab chassis and is used to carry a wide range of bulk products, such as gravel, sand and grain. • It is hinged at the rear which allows the front of the truck bed to be raised and the contents set down behind / side the truck. (5) Tanker Body A commodity carried by tanker includes fuel, oils, milk, water, varnish, and edible oils etc. In the case of fuel transport, to ensure safe handling, internal baffle plates are used to cut down the surge of liquid. A tracker truck is a truck with a trailer that carries liquids. It can be the subject of special regulations if the cargo is classified as hazardous materials such as flammable liquids such as gasoline or diesel or corrosive materials such as acids and liquid fertilizers. (6) High Side Deck Body The high deck trucks have their trailer bed situated high above the trailer wheels, which provides a raised uniform platform for the cargo to carry. On the other hand the low deck trucks are those that have two level drops in their deck heights. One drop is immediately after the gooseneck and the other immediately before the rear wheels. The low deck trucks are also better known as the flatbed trailers. As compared to the high deck trucks this drop allows the low deck trucks to be extremely low. The high deck trucks are more conventional and are basically used for all types of load carriers. When there is no specific unconventional requirement, the high deck trucks prove to be regularly used. The high deck trucks were the first made trucks in the industry and from the learning’s and changing requirements of times the low deck trucks were born. (7) Low Side Deck Body As soon as the legal machinery started objecting to the loading capacity and volumes of carried equipment the need to have a low deck truck emerged. This led the manufacturers to design the low deck trucks wherein they could actually provide a lower deck in between the gooseneck and rear wheels to cater to transit of high equipment’s. This led to the manufacture of the low type. As stated earlier the high deck types are often used to carry the cargo and vehicular loads, on the other hand the low deck comes in various types for a wider range of tasks. Among the low types there is a fixed gooseneck that provides the longer length of deck and is lighter in weight as compared to others. They have low height than normal with the use of low profile tires. Fixed gooseneck types have drop ramps to help facilitate loading and unloading of equipment. The other type is known as mechanical gooseneck that has second largest length and weight among trucks. The Low deck trucks have been known to provide the specialty equipment moving as compared to the conventional high deck trucks which are the general movers and have restricted height moving capacities with them. Also with the help of combinations of gooseneck detachment it is extremely easy to unload and load heavy equipment’s on the low deck trucks quite a reason as to why the low decks are preferred means these days. The continuous increase in consumption of these perishable commodities has necessitated the growing demand of trucks for internal distribution of these commodities to different points connected by the vast road network. Transportation of these can be undertaken with by trucks. The bus and truck segment in India is poised for substantial growth. The sector is yet to reach its full potential and the current scenario in India’s automobile market offers it the chance to do so. According to industry estimates, with 15 lakh buses in private sector and 1.5 lakh buses in public sector, India has about 16.5 lakh buses. India’s passenger vehicles of around 29 million during 2015 are expected to grow to more than 48 million vehicles by 2020. Also, domestic sales of commercial vehicles are expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.6% from 0.6 million in 2015 to more than 2 million by 2026. With the increasing automobile demand, the country is also proportionately expected to witness a surge in sheet metal products used to manufacture these vehicles. The Indian trucking industry is currently valued at $130 Bn and there are approximately 5.6 Mn on road vehicles transporting 80% of the country’s freight. But is still cudgeling brains over petty issues like lack of drivers, information about new areas, return loads and on-time deliveries & availability of transporters. This is the present state of Indian trucking industry – highly unorganized and highly fragmented. The Indian truck industry is growing with time and the reason behind its success is the added advantages of the road transport over the rail transport. Trucks may also accept small quantities and can cover the rural and hill areas and that too in comparatively less time than the railways. Moreover, the growth of e-commerce companies and the demand for the goods movement across the country helped in the growth of truck industry. Growth rates vary widely around the globe. Growth is slowing down in large truck markets such as China and most of the Triad countries. On the contrary, India, the ASEAN countries, and Eastern Europe will account for most of the future growth. Central America is showing dynamic growth as well. More than 70% of incremental sales in 2024 will be generated outside the Triad markets. But the solidity of the Triad markets will stabilize the total global truck market in the decade to come. The automotive sector has emerged as one of the major beneficiaries of technological advancement in sensors, and is increasingly adopting different sensor types to upgrade the existing models from the viewpoint of safety and enhanced functionality. The global automotive industry has been experiencing a period of rapid growth and profitability in the past years, opening a wide array of opportunities for modernized technological innovations. The automotive industry in India has been on a growth trajectory with impressive spikes in sales, production, and exports over the last two years. With an average production of around 24 million vehicles annually and employer of over 29 million people (direct and indirect employment), the automotive sector in India is one of the largest in the world. India is the largest tractor manufacturer, 2nd largest two wheeler manufacturer, 2nd largest bus manufacturer, 5th largest heavy truck manufacturer, 6th largest car manufacturer and 8th largest commercial vehicle manufacturer. For every vehicle produced, direct and indirect employment opportunities are created with employment of 13 persons for each truck, 6 persons for each car and 4 for each three wheeler and one person for two-wheelers. The USD 93 billion automotive industry contributes 7.1% to India’s GDP and almost 49% to the nation’s manufacturing GDP (FY 2015-16).

Palm Oil Production and Processing Industry

Palm Oil Production and Processing Industry. Profitable Edible Oil Manufacturing Business Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil high in saturated fats and free of Tran’s fats. Palm oil is made from the fruits of trees called African oil palms. It is a type of vegetable oil, like sunflower or rapeseed oil. Oil palm flourishes in the humid tropics and produces high yield when grown 10 degrees north and south of the equator. The trees originally came from west and South-West Africa. They grow naturally in tropical rainforest areas, but they also are being planted and farmed especially to produce more palm oil. Palm oil is the most widely-used vegetable oil in the world. Palm fruit oil, generally known as palm oil, is produced from the pulp of the fruit of the oil palm tree (Elaeis Guineensis). This tropical fruit is reddish in colour because of a high beta-carotene content. The fruit is about the size of a large olive. The fruit has a single seed or kernel, which is used to produce palm kernel oil. Each palm fruit contains about 30-35 per cent oil. Palm fruit oil and palm kernel oil differ significantly in their fatty acid composition, but have the same botanical origin. Palm oil is the second most widely produced edible oil. Each year, Australia imports approximately 130,000 tons of palm oil. Palm oil and its derivatives are found in around 50 percent of all packaged foods on Australian shelves. It has a longer shelf life than other vegetable oils making it more appealing for food production. Palm oil is found in many food products including biscuits, chips, crackers and batters. It is also found in toothpaste, soap, shampoo and cosmetics. Palm oil plantations are the main driver for deforestation in Indonesia and Malaysia. These two regions account for 85 percent of global production of palm oil. Uses of Palm Oil: • Palm Oil is used in around 50% of products consumers purchase and use on a daily basis. Palm Oil and derivatives otherwise known as fractions of the oil are used in the manufacture of prepackaged food, cosmetics, cleaning products, hair care, soaps and personal care items. Palm Wax is used in the manufacture of candles. • Palm Oil is also used to manufacture bio fuel. Palm is also used as feed for livestock named as palm kernel cake (PKC) which is a by-product of palm kernel oil. PKC is considered a medium grade protein feed used to fatten cattle and other livestock. • Palm oil is used for cooking and is also added to many ready-to-eat foods in your grocery store. • Its taste is considered savory and earthy. • Some people describe its flavor as being similar to carrot or pumpkin. • This oil is a staple in West African and tropical cuisines, and it's especially well-suited for curries and other spicy dishes. • It is often used for sautéing or frying because it has a high smoke point of 450°F (232°C) and remains stable under high heat (2). • Palm oil is sometimes added to peanut butter and other nut butters as a stabilizer to prevent the oil from separating and settling at the top of the jar. In addition to nut butters, palm oil can be found in several other foods, including: • Cereals • Baked goods like bread, cookies and muffins • Protein bars and diet bars • Chocolate • Coffee creamers • Margarine Palm oil is a very productive crop. It offers a far greater yield at a lower cost of production than other vegetable oils. Global production of and demand for palm oil is increasing rapidly. Plantations are spreading across Asia, Africa and Latin America. But such expansion comes at the expense of tropical forests—which form critical habitats for many endangered species and a lifeline for some human communities. In addition to use as a cooking medium in households, institutions and processed food industry, palm oil has non-food industrial applications too. The oil is used in soaps, detergents, surfactants, cosmetics and many others. Market Outlook Palm oil market size in India was valued at USD 5.16 billion in 2015. Increasing demand for edible oils owing to the burgeoning population and improving economic conditions is anticipated to remain the key growth driving factor over the forecast period. The industry in India presents massive potential for growth since the government has allowed 100% FDI in plantation and has also pledged huge financial aid to farmers in upcoming years. This development is likely to encourage domestic cultivation landscape and generate greater profit margins and opportunities for companies. Palm oil is the most consumed edible oil by volume in India, with a share of ~40%, followed distantly by soybean and mustard oils. However, domestic production of palm oil is limited, and over 95% of the requirement is imported, mostly from the world’s top two producers – Indonesia and Malaysia. Consequently, palm oil imports constitute over 60% of the edible oil imports basket today. In recent years palm oil based biodiesel has entered the European market. While biofuel has been promoted as an effective means of reducing emissions, establishing palm oil plantations increases greenhouse emissions. Demand for SPO for non-food industrial application will surely depend on many factors including whether the end product is sustainably produced. An extract of the Palm tree fruit, palm oil is one of the major edible oils consumed globally. Its low competitive price is one of the key factors influencing the consumption pattern. India, Indonesia and China are the major consumers of palm oil. Increasing demand from the emerging economies is going to be the major contributor to the palm oil industry in the future. In terms of application, although Food sector comprises of 80% of the market share, non-food areas are becoming increasingly important. The trend away from petroleum-based products has meant growing demands for palm oil in usage in Soaps, Detergents, Surfactants, Cosmetics, Pharmaceuticals, Nutraceuticals and other similar products. Biofuels are also driving the growing demand for palm oil. The global palm oil market size was estimated at USD 57.56 billion in 2014. Several government initiatives concerning blending of conventional fuel with that of bio-based, as well as rapidly growing usage of products as bio-based diesel have been gaining global acceptance over recent years. Consumers globally are aware of bio-based cosmetics, lubricants, and surfactants, which has also prompted the market. The global market for Palm Oil is projected to exceed 85 million metric tons by 2024, driven by ubiquitous applications in a broad range of everyday products and the resulting growing demand for certified sustainable palm oil. Palm oil is cost-effective and low in trans-fats, due to which its demand is high in the global market. However, the expansion of palm tree plantations is usually carried out at the expense of tropical forests, particularly in countries such as Malaysia. Rising environmental concerns thus pose a tough challenge in front of enterprises operating in the global palm oil market. The global palm oil market is expected to grow with rising global population, increasing biofuels production, increasing fresh fruits bunches yields, accelerating economic growth and growing application in various markets. Key trends of this market includes rising demand for red palm oil, increasing sustainable palm oil production and growing shift towards palm crop transplanting. However, there are some factors which can hinder growth of the market including consumption of soybean oil in developing countries, stringent regulations, weather uncertainties and retail consolidations. Palm oil is applicable as a cooking oil, bio-diesel, lubricants, cosmetics, and others, which is driving the growth of the market. Increasing demand for vegetable oil is a major factor driving the growth of the market. Moreover, in the biofuels market, it is used as the feedstock for the production of biodiesel and as an alternative to mineral oils for use in power stations which is boosting the growth of the palm oil market. The global palm oil market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and rest of the world (RoW). Asia Pacific is dominating the market and is witnessed to have a substantial growth over the forecast period with increasing consumption of palm oil in different industries. Indonesia and Malaysia are the major producers and exporters of palm fruit which are majorly contributing to the growth of palm oil market in Asia Pacific.
