NEW POWER FOR NEW YEAR ’11
s the country soaks in the warmth of the first rays of the first sunrise of the New Year 2011, it will not just be thawing out the winter chill, but will also seek to bring out the various sectors that have been in hibernation during the Old Year 2010. While the debate over which sectors really merit a mention on this account continues, we at PV have sought to make the job easier by taking a cursive look at Irrigation, a sector that is core yet not high on most people's agenda. Actually it is quite a surprise that Irrigation is dealt with in this manner though it is related to sectors as important as food, agriculture, water and farm equipment. Especially the latter has exciting prospects ahead as today it is being regarded as a Rs 800 crore industry and attracting some of the biggest players from around the world. Get introduced to this industry and also scan through a perspective in the Lead Story and Special Story respectively, in this issue. With the introduction of the Special Story that is connected to the Lead Story, this first issue of the fresh year - January 2011- envisages bringing in some changes in the coming months. Adding to the power that this change signifies, the issue includes a powerhouse - the Interface section. Just have a look at positions taken by Harjeet Singh Wahan, MD, ATS Elgi; Prafulla Gattani, MD, Shell & Pearl Ceramics; Rajendra Joshi, VP, Marketing, Mahindra Lifespace; Rhishikesh Chopade, CEO, Rhishikesh Engineers; Sanjoy Chakrabarty, MD, Soilmec Foundation Equipments; and Vijay Sharma, Executive Director, Terex Equipment Pvt Ltd. If the Interface is a powerhouse, the Expertspeak section is not far behind. We have lined up two professionals: one speaks about a Facility Improvement Solution for the Automotive Industry and the other talks about what paint companies are doing to promote the green cause. These are penned by Farook Merchant, CMD, Messung; and Percy Jijina, GM, Decorative, Jotun India; respectively. And it is not just the key sections that seek attention because of their strength, other sections such as Case Study, Crisp Quote, Updates as well as regulars such as Event Watch, Sector Watch, News Watch, Product Watch, and Orders & Contracts also offer a rare powerful peep. Here are the details: The Case Study section brings to you the details of how Essae Digitronics, a manufacturer of electronic truck scales, went in for a cloud computing solution from KVP Business Solutions to get rid of its sales-related issues. Dilip N. Kawathkar Jt. Project Director (P.R), MMRDA, throws light on "the main challenges faced while developing urban infrastructure in Mumbai" and last but not the least the Updates section includes German pumps & valves firm Klaus Union, and roofing companies Gayathri Structural and Shelter Incorporation.

In Project Vendor December 2010 issue, the introduction to interview with Sushil Gupta, CMD, Richa Industries, which appeared on Page No. 164, inadvertently mentioned that his company entered the PEB sector in the year 1993. While the company was incorporated in the year 1993, it entered the PEB sector only in 2009. The error is regretted. — Editor Cover ( Courtesy ): Prince Pipes and Greaves Cotton

trong economy growth has ensured healthy increase in tax receipt of the Central Government in the current fiscal, though rollbacks of duties as part of return to fiscal consolidation from a straying during 2008-09 due to downturn has also played its role in the marked upturn in fiscal receipt. Thus, total tax collection during April-November was up 29 per cent to `4.24 trillion, meeting 57 per cent of the budgeted receipt for the year. The feat is in sharp contrast to that a year ago when tax receipt ran 7.5 per cent lower cumulatively in the first eight months. In fact, during 2009-10, gross tax collection was running lower, though on a sliding scale, till February and following a frenzied drive in March, the cumulative collection turned positive by the end of the fiscal. As against, tax collection has maintained 25-29 per cent pace, at least till November. Revenue collections from indirect taxes i.e., Customs, Central Excise and Service Tax Revenue (Provisional) for the first eight months i.e., April-November increased to `2,07,756 crore, which is 42.3 per cent higher than the collections made during the same period in the previous financial year. Cumulative indirect tax collections constituted 66.3 per cent of the

he Government of India and the World Bank have signed a $45 million technical assistance loan aimed at strengthening the institutional capacity of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to efficiently manage and operate its road development programme. The technical assistance loan from the World Bank will help NHAI adopt global practices, as also restructuring of NHAI. The loan, from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), has a 5-year grace period, and a maturity of 18.5 years. "As more roads are completed at a rapid rate, we envision the changing role of the NHAI from merely building infrastructure to better managing these vital assets," says Rajesh Rohatgi, Project Team Leader. Forty percent of the total road traffic in India plies on the National Highway (NH) network, and this share is likely to increase with vehicle growth touching 10 per cent per annum in recent years. However, about 30 per cent of the total NH network is still single-laned, 53 per cent double-laned, and only 17 per cent is four,- six-, or eight-laned.

he country's 13 major ports handled approximately 46 million tonnes of sea freight during November, showing around 5.5 per cent lower volume than in October, the month that had seen workload go up by a sharp 9.7 per cent over September. Cumulatively, the growth rate in freight dropped to 0.83 per cent during April-November, reversing the improvement to 1.7 per cent during April-October; from 1.23 per cent in H1. The deterioration in April-November, (relative to April-October) was due to lower pace at eight ports. Thus, among the larger ports, Kandla saw the pace go down from 3.05 per cent during April-October to 1.66 per cent during April-November, Mumbai Port Trust from 2.87 per cent to 1.04 per cent and Mormugao from 10.8 per cent to 5.5 per cent between these periods. Cumulative growth, however, turned to a positive 0.35 per cent at Haldia, from 1.52 per cent annual decline till October. The growth rate at JNPT also improved from 6.61 per cent to 7.75 per cent during April-November. Among the types of traffic, the growth rates dropped in most of the cargoes; barring container freight that improved to 13.18 per cent, from 12.95 per cent till October and 11.42 per cent during H1.

The show will be organised at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Goregaon (E), Mumbai, from February 11-13, 2011. Part of the credit for the show’s popularity should go to the immense opportunities and the networking platform that it had been able to provide to the industry over the years. The unique format of the show coupled with the high level of technical speakers who come down every year to share their knowledge, adds one more reason to its wide acceptance. Apart from the show, a plumbing symposium will also be organised on the first two days.

This code will be the first-ever plumbing code meant for swimming pool plumbing installations. Some of the major companies who have joined PlumbexIndia are KiTec, which has joined as the Principal Industry Partner; Grundfos as the Co-Industry Partner; Pentair & Schell as Symposium Co-Partners; and Lubrizol as the Awards Partner.

sales pipeline and overall visibility into the relationships involved with every project. A centralised information system was required to record all the field sales activity to reduce business risks during employee turnover. The system needed to assist the field sales executives to ensure they were proactive and were focussing on the right customer and hence, improving their productivity. Hence, Essae required a solution that would work within its existing infrastructure, ensure high user adoption and would be scalable and grow with its business. "This initiative of improving field efficiency was not only about implementing technology; it was about defining the business processes that provide good market visibility and foundation for Essae's future in its pursuit of customer service excellence year after year," explained Prakash Venkatesan, CEO, Essae Digitronics.

The sales team is able to record its daily activities, enter new leads and opportunities and access the accounts / contacts database from the handheld device. KVP also took the responsibility of training of the 100 users in multiple batches providing hands-on training on the system and provided three months of support post the training to ensure that the users were comfortable on the system. Different reports and dashboards were also setup at the individual, region and management levels. "Essae Digitronics is a very enterprising organisation.

raditional manufacturing practices of the automotive sector are manually operated and hence influenced by the expertise of the personnel involved. The major drawbacks of it are poor quality, improper selection of components for variants on single line, batch process and hence large delivery time, and most important is manual report generation which results in unreliable traceability. As Messung Systems Private Limited has always

The FIS is implemented at the Plant Floor Automation (PFA) level in hierarchical system architecture. As shown in the Fig 1, there must be close integration between APMS (Automatic Production Management System) / MES layers and machine layer through the PFA layer by implementing seamless data flow. FIS comes with five different divisions as required in the automotive manufacturing process:

The Facility Improvement Solution (FIS) offers a system-based manufacturing process rather than that which involves manual operations. It gives benefits like closed loop manufacturing, mixed production on single line, quality improvement by specification control, information flow and flexibility, interfacing of line side equipment, elimination of human errors creeping at the time of data entry, and materialhandling, which result in inventory control.

Long-lasting coats and energy efficiency need to be ensured
Percy Jijina writes on what paint companies are doing and what more they need to do in their pursuit for going eco-friendly

A

s per government requirements and regulations most paint companies these days essentially have a green product in their product portfolio. Paint companies, at present, are adhering to the norms that are set by the International Environment Council. Environmental organisations such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and Green Seal have established a number of well intentioned standards. Performance is an important aspect of an environmental coating. It has been proven that a longlasting coat means less paint cycles, which in turn means less emission of environmental intoxicants. Energy efficiency should be considered a criterion for green coatings. Energy-efficient coatings utilise sophisticated heatblocking pigments that refract the sun's visible, infrared and UV radiation ray from the substrate, thereby reducing radiant heat transfer within a property. Recycled paint has been a green practice for a period of time in the United States. However, why are not the paint containers also recycled in a similar fashion as they are in other countries such as New Fenomastic Gold Zealand or Canada? It

is estimated that 95 per cent of all paint cans in the US end up clogging landfills. Similarly even in countries like India, paint and paint containers are seldom recycled. Many paint cans are manufactured from polyethylene, which can be recycled into garbage bags, soda bottles or shopping bags. A majority of our solvent-based and water-based paints are as per the Red & Yellow European VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) norms. The effects of VOC on the environment include acid rain, ozone depletion and global warming. The group has ensured that all its products adhere to global environmental standards. In addition, we are also in the process of getting a product approval stamp from Green Seal, which is a non-profit organisation devoted to environmental standard setting, product certification and public education. The strong paint smell is almost nullified in most of our products because of the solvent-based paint formulation. The use of highly reflective Mixed Metal Oxides (MMOs) by us significantly reduces the surface temperature, which extends the life of the coating. Our Global Research Development facility strongly focusses on developing high quality and long-lasting

environment-friendly products. In our production plants, the paints produced have zero lead content. Our company aims to reduce emissions of solvent VOCs into the air through the range of low VOC products. These limits are well defined based on an assessment of the continuous research and development. We offer environment-friendly paint systems that possess energy- efficient characteristics. This eventually contributes to the good health and well being of people within the environment. We are the first company in India to use eco-friendly paints, derived from natural raw materials like citrus peel extract, beeswax, seed oils and tree resins. These products have been proven and tested by our Research and Development team. Our products are environmentally friendly and will certainly help protect the fragile ecosystems.

ne of the top bearing companies from China, ZWZ is all set to start its operations in India by early 2011. The Indian arm of the ZWZ Group will be named as ZWZ Bearings India Private Limited. Nishant Vora, Director & General Manager, ZWZ India said, "We are looking forward to opening offices in five cities (Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore and Ahmedabad), a step which will help us establish long-term channel network across the country and create presence. The offices will be operational by early 2011. The company will launch high quality, precision industrial bearing products in India and supply its products to Indian steel, power, mining, oil and gas, and cement industries as also precision bearings to niche industrial markets. Vora explained, "Initially all the bearings will be imported from China, the place to set up manufacturing plant has not been identified yet, but the search is on, you see there are 15,000 types of bearing produced, and for a plant which manufactures even 500 types of bearings thorough research of the place has to be done. Our current focus is mainly on sales and

marketing of industrial bearings under the ZWZ brand in India." Zhao Yang, Global Sales Director, ZWZ Group said, "The $1 billion ZWZ Group is aiming to expand into $2 billion bearing market, which has registered the CAGR of 20 per cent." He added, "The Indian economy is making great strides, and we find it the best time to mark our presence." As an early market initiative, the company will launch about 5,000 types of industrial bearings in India and gradually take the portfolio to 15,000. In India, the company will supply middle, large and extra large diameter bearings. "Globally, there are few countries that specialise in the manufacture of large range bearings. In India, bearings are manufactured from small- to medium-sized. There is a vacuum in the middle- to largesized bearings and extra large-sized bearings, which are normally imported. The Indian market is in a growth phase when many other global markets are experiencing sluggish or no growth; particularly in the West. The market here is fragmented and spread out geographically in a wide area that makes it different from rest of the world. With ZWZ, we want to capitalise on these key differentiators," said Vora.

A key sub-segment of the Irrigation Sector, the Farm Equipment market in India is estimated to be worth Rs 800 crore with leading players such as John Deere, Jain Irrigation, Greaves Cotton, Southern Agro, VST Tillers, Ganga Motors, Bengal Tools, Kerala Agro Machinery and Texmaco dominating the scene. While international giants such as Deere have chalked out a strong strategy for India with two allied entities John Deere Water and John Deere Equipment fulfilling the country’s Irrigation-related needs, other big and small manufacturers from China, Japan and other countries Sifang, Dong Feng, Mitsubishi, Kubota, Manam and so on are making inroads into the country through joint ventures and tie-ups. Interestingly, apart from the Indian players’ efforts to bring

the best and latest to the country, Government subsidy on equipment such as power tillers is also giving a push to the growth of this sector and its sub-segments in India.
JOHN DEERE WATER & JOHN DEERE EQUIPMENT

John Deere India Private Limited is a subsidiary of Deere & Company, USA. The company has two entities John Deere Water and John Deere Equipment, which are offering products related to the Irrigation Sector.

India’s population now stands at 1,100 million, and is likely to touch the 1,500 million mark by 2050. In order to ensure food security for the ever-increasing population of the country, additional land needs to be brought under cultivation, the productivity of existing agricultural land enhanced, and suitable measures taken up to prevent the fertile cultivated land from degradation.

contribute significantly to food security of India. Water, as an input to agriculture, is critical for sustaining the food security. India faces the daunting task of increasing its food grain production by over 50 per cent in the next two decades. Increasing competition for water in agriculture, industry, domestic and environment uses is already manifested in inter- and intra-sector, basin, state, district and village level conflicts. In India, of the total net cultivated area of around 140.30 million hectares only 60.86 million is irrigated and remaining 79.44 million hectares is rain-fed. Rain-fed crops

account for 48 per cent area under food crops and 68 per cent of the area under non-food crops. Irrigated land accounts for nearly 55 per cent of food production while rain-fed contributes just about 45 per cent. In this vast country, Irrigation in various forms has been practiced for ages and a large number of various types of old Irrigation systems are still in operation with their own wellestablished Irrigation practices evolved out of experience. Furthermore, during the Five-Year Plans, from the First to now the 11th, a large programme of construction of diverse types of Irrigation systems has been undertaken and phenomenal progress has been achieved. In each State, and even in parts of each State, there is tremendous variation in the basic environmental factors such as rainfall pattern and intensity, ground profiles, soil types and depths, spread of rural population, and agricultural practices, and Irrigation policies and practices have to be developed keeping in mind these basic factors. The salient features of the Irrigation schemes taken up for execution in the past were primarily and obviously based on the experience of existing similar schemes in each State. India's Irrigation sector is caught in a vicious cycle. Inadequate funding for O&M over years has resulted in the neglect of maintenance and upkeep of the Irrigation system leading to deterioration in the quality of Irrigation service. Physically, the Irrigation and drainage system is not able to receive and deliver the planned quantity of water matching with the demand pattern. Poor Irrigation service (often not matching the crop water requirements with regard to space and time) results in low productivity of crops and income to the irrigators. Resultant dissatisfaction coupled with weak institutional linkage leads to under assessment of demand for water rates as well as low recovery of whatever is assessed. Progressive fall in the cost recovery increases revenue deficit causing adverse impact on O&M funding for maintenance works. More importantly, existing and expanding Irrigation infrastructure has to be physically and financially sustained for improving their efficiency. Demand-supply management in the water sector and efficiency in its every use is critical for providing sustainable water-food security to the country.
SURFACE IRRIGATION

uring the first three years of the 11th Plan, irrigation potential of 5.51 million hectares has been created; comprising 2.98 mha of major & medium irrigation and 2.53 mha of minor irrigation. The initial target of creation of irrigation potential of 16 million hectare during 11th Plan has been revised to 9.5 mha under the Mid-Term Appraisal of the Plan. As per information furnished by the Minister of State for Water Resources in the Lok Sabha recently, the revised target for 9.5 mha of irrigation potential includes 5 mha through major and medium irrigation and 4.5 mha through minor irrigation. The total irrigation potential created up to the end of the 7th Plan was 76.44 mha, which has been raised by 34 mha by the end of the third year of the ongoing 11th Plan, taking the total potential to over 110 mha. Schemes for creation of irrigation potential are conceived, planned and implemented by the respective State Governments. A large number of river valley projects, both multi-purpose and irrigation, spilled over from plan to plan period, mainly because of financial constraints being faced by the State Governments. The Accelerated Irrigation Benefits Programme (AIBP) provides financial assistance to States to complete various ongoing last mile irrigation projects in the country. The Government of India also provides assistance to the State Governments under the schemes Repair Renovation and Restoration of Water Bodies and Command Area Development and Water Management with objective of stabilisation and full utilisation of created facilities.

GROUND WATER

Ground water, supported by 12 million energised wells, contributing more than 50 per cent of total irrigated area in the country has become a critical source for agriculture growth. Rapid depletion, salinisation and pollution-related problems threaten regions with sustainable ground water balance, whose area is continuously shrinking.
TANK IRRIGATION SYSTEM

The popular method of community-based maintenance system of tanks, existed historically, is disintegrated. Paucity of funds and meagre budgetary allocations in the past resulted in continued neglect of Tank Irrigation infrastructure especially in south India. Neglected management of tank systems leads to declining storage and recharging of ground water. There is an urgent need for rehabilitating Tank Irrigation system infrastructure. Physical strengthening and improvements in the inflow, storage and distribution system are needed. India Water Vision, 2025 estimated the gross water demand for multiple uses to double in 25 years from now with corresponding investment needs of `20,000 crore per year3.

input use but if managed properly, rain-fed areas have the potential to contribute a larger share to agricultural production. Providing water supplies at subsidised rates for Irrigation remained the state's policy to enable secure food supplies. In many states, O&M expenditure is not sufficient to meet the required expenditure. In India, most of the States economies are based on agriculture, for instance, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal and Uttar Pradesh. The Irrigation and Command Area Development Department is the apex agency in the state for harnessing all the available water resources in an optimal manner and in accordance with the National and State Water Policies. The department follows a three- pronged approach covering both demand and supply side management of water resources. The first is creation of new Irrigation infrastructure in major, medium and minor sectors by planning conjunctive use of surface and ground water. Second, modernisation of existing infrastructure and by following improved operation and maintenance practices. The last but not the least important component of this strategy is to strive for improved water use efficiency in agriculture, industrial and drinking water (both urban and rural) applications.

ndira Gandhi Nahar Project (IGNP), formerly known as Rajasthan Canal Project, is one of the biggest canal projects of India. The canal starts from the Harike Barrage at Sultanpur, a few kilometres below the confluence of the Sutlej and Beas rivers in Punjab. The canal runs south-southwest in Punjab and Haryana and runs 650 km in Rajasthan. It ends near Jaisalmer in the middle of the Thar Desert of Rajasthan. The construction work on the project started in March 1958. IGNP was designed to utilise 9,367 Mm3/yr of the total 10,608 Mm3/yr allocated to Rajasthan from the surplus waters of the Ravi and Beas rivers. The entire project comprises the main Indira Gandhi Canal, nine branches, three lifts, and 21 district distributaries with a length of 7,150 km. The project has been divided into two stages: Stage I: This consists of a 204 km-long feeder canal, having a headworks discharge capacity of 460 m3/sec, which starts from Harike Barrage; 170 km of the feeder canal lie in Punjab and Haryana and 34 km in Rajasthan. The entire system of Stage-I consists of the 204 km-long feeder canal, 189 km long main canal and 3454 km-long distribution system. Stage II: IGNP Stage II comprises construction of a 256 kmlong main canal and 5,606 km of a lined distribution system, and will serve 1,410 kha of CCA (873577 ha area in flow and 5,37,018 ha under lift), utilising 4,930 Mm3/yr of water. The main canal in the entire length was completed in the year 1986. The IGNP is a gigantic canal project to carry 524 cumec water from the Harike Barrage in a 204 km-long feeder canal in Punjab, to the vast Great Indian Desert (Thar Desert) in Western Rajasthan. The canal network is spread in an area of about 60 km wide and 1,000 km-long belt. It consists of 204 km of feeder, 450 km of main canal, 8,000 km of distribution networks and several thousand km of lined water courses, to spread over a gross command area of 2.5 Mha and provide irrigation to a culturable command of around 1.55 Mha. The salient features of the IGNP are providing additional irrigation in 964,000 hectares; providing drinking water for 14 million humans, besides a large cattle population; helping afforestation in an area of 362,000 hectares; providing fodder for 5.2 million units of cows or equivalent animals; and offering direct employment to 500,000 persons that resulted in exploitation of mineral resources and industrialisation. The IGNP has eliminated drought conditions, provided power benefits and transformed desert waste land into an agriculturally productive area by bringing irrigation and vegetation to around 2 Mha area. Contribution in agricultural production due to implementation of the project is worth Rs 1,750 crore annually. Canal water is also being used to meet domestic needs. The project has dramatically changed the living standard and socio-economic conditions of the people in the region. The Indira Gandhi Canal is also a major step in checking desertification of fertile areas.

Current efforts in the country as a whole are primarily aimed at creating additional Irrigation potential through the launching of new projects and maintenance of existing Irrigation schemes. The modernisation of Irrigation systems does not mean merely an improvement of the engineering parameters such as lining of canals or improvement and modification of structures, but also the application of a complex combination of field disciplines to irrigated agriculture. As such, modernisation has to cover not only the engineering but also the agronomic and management aspects. The modernisation of existing projects has hence to be taken along with their restoration and rehabilitation. Detailed diagnostic analysis or performance evaluation needs to be carried out to identify, quantify and execute the required measures. Several individual efforts have also been made to modernise existing Irrigation systems so as to achieve better water use, after studying and thoroughly analysing the Irrigation systems concerned. The Central Water Commission of the Government of India has formulated guidelines for the modernisation of existing Irrigation projects.

(environment, forest, wildlife and Central Water Commission) for projects is tedious and time-consuming and leads to enormous increase in the project costs. Unresolved inter-state water issues coupled with legal hurdles are among other barriers in the way of speedier completion of the projects. The entire process needs to be further streamlined," says a spokesperson from the Irrigation and Command Area Development Department of Andhra Pradesh Government.
UNDER-DEVELOPMENT

Maharashtra is the leading industrialised State in India, but its current development of only 13 per cent of its Irrigation potential is far below the national average of about 33 per cent. The land developed so far in the State by the largeand medium-sized Irrigation projects is only about 56 per cent of the currently identified ultimate potential of 4.1 million hectares. The State has a rugged terrain, and a large number of rivers originate here, resulting in many comparatively small Irrigation projects. However, the total number of dams of more than 15 metres in height built in Maharashtra is about 900, compared to 2,900 countrywide, so the State can claim to be the leading dam builder in the country. Irrigation is a State subject and the State spends Rs 10 to 12 billion every year to manage some three million hectares of surface Irrigation. Rajasthan's economy is based on agriculture and animal husbandry. Agriculture accounted for 50 per cent of net State Domestic Product in 1988 / 89. Nearly 69 per cent of

What are the key challenges that are faced while developing urban infrastructure in Mumbai?

he main problem we (Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority or MMRDA) in Mumbai face is the scarcity of land. So it becomes very difficult for us to develop any infrastructure project in the city. Clear cut lands, and clear cut RoW (Right of Way), and most importantly shifting of the utility services, e.g. if we need to widen the roads, the underground electricity and telephone wires, which need to be shifted with the big water pipelines that have to be shifted and reinstalled, happen to be some of the

key issues that we face. Again the traffic is a big problem. If we need to commence a project, even a small one, we need the permission of the Traffic Police, in order to avoid traffic congestion and traffic jams. The Traffic Police department is quite reluctant in issuing permissions to the various infrastructure bodies. At the end, even if the traffic issues are sorted out, shifting utilities still remains a huge problem for us. (As told to Jibran Buchh)

Rhishikesh Chopade, CEO, Rhishikesh Engineers Pvt. Ltd, Nasik, speaks to Manjushree Naik about his two decades old company, the markets that it caters to, sales performance, and more

You are known as a Nasik-based manufacturer of construction equipment. Give us details. We are into manufacturing of construction equipment since 20 years. As we are based in Nasik with two complete manufacturing facilities, we could supply best quality product at efficient cost along with the ease of service. About 70 per cent of construction in the Nasik city is done by our machines. Our 1/2 bag concrete mixer and material-handling winch are creating way for small civil contractors to build Nasik in a fast way. Now we have a range of 50 different products for small and medium construction works, that gives our customers a one-stop destination for their requirements. Which are the key segments that you are catering for? Small and medium building construction would be the primary sector that we have been targetting. Concrete mixing products and materialhandling products are getting good response due to unavailabilty of labour. Products such as vibrators and compactors, bending and cutting machines are making work simpler and faster. We have launched new machines for building materials / cement products. Manufacturing of precast concrete products like cement frames, compound wall precast structures, interlocking compound wall bricks, hollow solid blocks and so on. Eco-friendly fly-ash brick manufacturing plants are pioneered in Nasik by us. Complete range from manual to high capacity automatic projects are successfully installed by us. Mini road equipment such as mini walk behind road rollers, tower lights, and mini dumpers upto two tons also rank among our key products. We are steadily increasing the production capacities of the entire range. Give us details on your products such as concrete mixers, batching plants, needle vibrators, sand screeners, earth compactors and so on. What are their
PROJECT VENDOR January 2011 I 56

advantages compared to competition? Our focus is to give our consumers maximum output at minimum power cost. We optimise to exact power requirement for the product. We focus on cutting cost without compromising on quality and integrate mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems, which reduce power consumption. You are also having strong presence in the hand tools and hydraulic equipment sectors. Give us details. Our hydraulic equipment are concrete block machines which are presently high in demand due to requirement of fly-ash bricks.The fly-ash brick machines are very useful for waste management.The waste of thermal power plants is used for production of bricks, this gives you a replacement for red bricks which is causing imbalance due to red soil depletion. Give us details on your order book. We are having a packed schedule since three years now with export orders from African nations and as the Indian market is growing at a fast pace. How is the current fiscal? What kind of figures are you envisaging by the end of the year? Its a good time now to expand as we are looking at rural development schemes all over the place, the road network is also being built to international standards and industrial parks and SEZs are all lined up for minimum of five to eight years. We are expecting a minimum 45 per cent YoY rise in sales figures. After striding the construction equipment, hand tools and hydraulic equipment sectors, which are the allied sectors that you are aiming at in the near future?

We are also in the process of expanding our distribution network aggressively in order to cater to the needs of our everincreasing customer base. Are you planning expansion of facilities, going in for tie-ups and so on? At present, we do not have any plans to further expand our Noida facility. However, we cannot rule out its possibility, which depends on the prevailing market conditions. Financing of our machinery is a crucial part of our future plans. In this direction, we are approaching various banks and NBFCs for exclusive finance tie-ups. Recently, we have entered into an agreement with HDFC Bank for financing our machines at competitive interest rates.

How different is your India strategy than the rest of the world? India is one of the top priority markets for us. According to various sources, India will need an infusion of $ 1 trillion investment during the 12th Five Year Plan (2012 – 2017) to build more airports, sea ports, highways, power plants, railways, and dedicated freight corridors. Hence, there is lot of opportunity for capital equipment manufacturers like us to exploit.

“By 2015, we are looking at crossing `1,000 crore”
Prafulla Gattani, MD, Shell & Pearl Ceramics India Ltd, talks to Pradip Bhattacharya, about his company’s growth, the emerging trends in the Indian ceramics industry and more

Brief us about your company. The inception of the company was mainly in the field of consultancy and trading of imported ceramics and raw materials and tiles. However over a period of time and thanks to our experience, we got into the supply of major machineries and also plants for ceramic tiles manufacturing. Later, 2006 onwards, we became the largest turnkey solution provider for ceramic manufacturing units. While passing through this phase we transferred many, state-of-the-art technologies from Italy, Spain and China to India. This gave us an impetus to create an ultramodern plant for making ceramic tiles at par with the best in the world. That is how the Jhagadia project has been evolved with a capacity of two lakh sq ft per day, with the most modern tech so far in the country and at par with the world's best technology.

An example of the Jove series

Tell us about the number of turnkey projects that you have undertaken so far. So far we have done more than 20 turnkey projects. To name a few: Max Granito, City Tiles, Advatech Ceramics, Somany Ceramics, and Comet Granito are among our clients, who are doing extremely well these days. What was the key objective of your JV with a Chinese ceramic company? The basic idea of joining hands with a Chinese company is to understand their way to operate a unit and create a mass output, which is not seen very often in India. Most of the Chinese entrepreneurs are having giant units in China and have been flooding out huge quantity with great success, some of them are also able to produce products of world standard which are being sourced by the best companies of Europe and America. The two major reasons are operational and production of big quantity to have the best of the technology like them from all over the world. What is the present capacity of the ceramic plant at Bharuch? Will the capacity be raised? The first phase will have 2 lakh sq ft per day, and we plan to come up with two more similar lines, in the very near future along with a sanitaryware plant.

Tell us about the YoY growth of your company. How much market share do you command now and your expectations by 2015? As a brand, I see Jove as a super brand of the country and among the best three brands in India, and coming to the quantity part, by 2015, we are looking at crossing a total capacity of 10 lakh sq ft per day. Has the plant in Ankleshwar been unveiled? You term it as the most advanced ceramic plant in India. Give us details. The adaptation of technology from the UK, Italy and China has made us the most advanced plant as of now in India, the combination of machines and process flow will make us equipped to produce the best tiles in the country. Brief us on your financials - the current turnover and your target by 2015. By 2015, we are looking at crossing 1,000 crore with regard to the ceramics division. Tell us about the emerging trends in the ceramics industry. From 2008-end, this industry has been very upbeat and positive, although there were heavy dents and marks were noticed on the whole construction industry till the mid of 2009,but after this phase things revived, and this industry never looked back. A recent survey shows that the construction industry is growing at the rate of 14 per cent and is one among the five fastest growing industries in the country, hence the future looks quiet promising and bright. Tell us about how you consider Gujarat to grow as a ceramics hub for the world. Gujarat has always been the hub for the ceramics industry, you need to be here to be a part of it. Why is the India ceramic industry still witnessing domination by regional players? Most of the players who are 10 years plus in this industry have grown big, and have become national players, besides Kajaria, Johnson, Somany and Nitco, new players at the national level have also made their presence felt, like Asian, City, Oracale and Umaiya.

To what extent has the slowdown impacted your business? It was mainly during 2007 - 2008, till the beginning of 2009, but things seem to have fallen in place now, and look in a good shape for the future. Brief us about your business model. We have been banking upon, innovation, and constant technology upgradation, which would for sure lead us to the top.
