POWDER –ACTUATED FASTENING

As a leading company, Hilti has influenced powder-actuated fastening more than

any other company. Powder-actuated tools drive nails or threaded studs primarily in to

steel, concrete or plastered masonry. Heat generated by the fastener during penetration

either sinters it with concrete, or fuses it with steel resulting in high holding power in

both cases. The holding power achieved with this Hilti technology make fastenings

suitable for sustained cyclic loading and long term static loading. High product quality

and protection against corrosion are prerequisites for reliable fastenings. For use in the

powder-actuated tools, Hilti has an extensive programme of threaded studs, nails and

combination fasteners. These fasteners are for a large variety of applications, primarily in

the fields of installing profiled metal sheeting , putting up concrete forms, interion

finishing and securing insulating material. The Hilti DX programme extends from a

simple, single-fastening toos to a fully automatic magazine tool. High fastening rates can

be achieved with these tools thanks to their cartridge and nail magazines, their ergonomic

design and the fact that an electrical supply is not required.

Application

• Fixing electrical cabels

• Installation of electrical trunking.

• Fixing electrical conduits.

• Fixing pipe rings to steel.

• Fixing of air conditioning ducts.

• Fixing flexible conduits. etc

9


SCREW FASTENING

Hilti has a wide range of cordless and electric screwdrivers. Components for screwdriver

systems such as inserts, attachments and bits complete the programme. Screws for the

various base materials and applications encountered during drywall installation, metal

construction and window or door frame installation are available for the screwdrivers.

Application

Battery tools for universal applications

Fastening drywall panels

Sheet metal to sheet metal/steel/ wood/liner structures

10


ANCHOR SYSTEMS

Hilti offers comprehensive anchor systems for a very wide variety of fastenings.

A key area of expertise is anchor fastening where approvals are required and safety is at

stake. A clear distinction is made between fastening with mechanical and chemicals

anchors. Safety, standard and light-duty versions of mechanical anchors are offered and

supported with extensive application.

Chemical anchors take the form of injection and adhesive systems. Injection

systems are outstanding above all for their ability to be used for universal fastening in

virtually any kind of base material. Special adhesive systems are available to customers

for medium and heavy-duty fastenings. Both the injection and adhesive systems can be

used for train or tram rail anchoring.

Application

• Crane rails

• Machine bases

• Seismic installations

• Flush fittings

• pipe suspension

• ducting suspension, general applications

• Applications close to an edge or with small anchor spacing

• Reinforcement starter bars

11


DIAMOND SYSTEMS

Diamond systems include coring and sawing with diamond tools and equipment.

Diamond core bits are used to wet or dry drill concrete, stone and masonry. The cutting

systems are design to work minerals and metal materials. The saws are for cutting

concrete and masonry. Primary, diamond core bits and saw blades are used for heavily

reinforced concrete, especially when making openings in heavy concrete, stone and

masonry, professional workmen can carry out even the toughest applications.

Application

Hand-held diamond drilling, wet or dry

Medium-sized breaches

Large breaches

Breaches up to53 cm

12


POSITIONING SYSTEMS

Positioning tasks, when employing conventional means, may occupy upto one third of the

total time required for construction and installation jobs.

Hilti positioning tools now make it possible to greatly reduce the time taken for these

tasks.

• Hilti positioning tools make measuring, leveling and vertical alignment easier,

much quicker and more accurate.

• Alignment work and transferring right angels is time consuming, inaccurate and

usually require two persons when conventional means are used – can now also be

carried out much more easily.

• Using Hilti positioning tools most of the jobs can be done by one person.

Application

• Measuring distances, calculating areas and volumes.

• Measuring to inaccessible points

• Setting out, e.g. gridlines, frames etc.

• Aligning electrical/ mechanical installations and components.

• Laying tiles, stone blocks and slabs.

• Horizontal alignments of suspended ceilings.

• Vertical alignments of pipes and ducts in plumbing, heating and air conditioning

installations.

13


FIRESTOP

Tried and tested Fire Stop systems are used for fire sales for cable and pipe

penetration as well as closing joints in fire compartment. Instumescent products foam

and close openings produced in a fire and thus inhibit flames and smoke spreading

from one area to another.

Application

• Temporary closing of penetrations cored during construction.

KUTCH

AT

A GLANCE

HISTORY

• Kutch is an erstwhile princely state of India.. The land is virtually 'an island'

resembling a tortoise "Katchua or Kachbo", surrounded by seawater. Kutch was

also known as the kutchdweep or Kutchbet

18


• Prior to the drawn of Christine era , the region lying between sindh and saurastra

has been described as Abhir by which the name it has also referred to in the

Mahabharat.

• The Greek traveler and military commander also named this region as abiria or

Abir corrupted from its original name of Abhir during the second century before

the Christ.

• Till the 3rd and 4th century A.D. and even thereafter it came to be referred to by

both the names Kachchh as well as Abhir.

• First known as abhir from its original inhabitants, the Ahirs, who resided in this

area, it later on came to be known as Kutch because of its unique geographical

location surrounded by water and waste land.

• Formerly a princely state, Kutch was established in the 14th century by Rajputs

and passed under British rule in 1815. Kutch was incorporated into Gujarat in

1960.

GEOGRAPHY

• The region of Kutch is located 22 degree north of the tropic of cancer i.e. at 44'-

11' or 24degree from the north pole, 41-25'north latitude and 68 degree, 09'-46'

and 71 degree, 54'-47' east degree of longitude.

• On its north and northwest lies Pakistan, on the east Banarskantha and Maherana,

while on its southeast is Surendranagar and its south has the Bay of Kutch and the

district of Rajkot.

• The Arabic Sea lies to its southwest and west. It is the largest district of the state

of Gujarat and the second largest district in India covering The total area of Kutch

is of 45692 square km, of which 23310 square km is desert.

• Kutch comprises Gujarat’s 23.27% area. It has a total 960 villages and 10 cities.

19


• Its most sparsely populated one is a sandy, barren area over half of which is desert

and marshland. The last of the Indian wild ass are found here. Some pulses and

cotton are grown and cattle thrive.

• Kachchh is a fascinating land and no visit to Gujarat is complete without a

sojourn to this peninsular district . Its remoteness has kept it a place apart for

centuries. The people are very sturdy, business minded and seafaring. Kandla a

major seaport of the country with its single point-mooring facilities, happens to be

the only free trade zone of India.

• Kachchh produces some of Gujarat's most exquisite crafts like embroidery, tie die

fabrics, enameled silverware and other handicrafts. Kachchh is also the largest

district in Gujarat.

20


• Much of the region was devastated by a strong earthquake in Jan., 2001.

• Kutch was one of the few states, who didn't derive their name from their capital (the

capital of Kutch is Bhuj), but from their region.

• The last of the Indian wild ass are found here. Some pulses and cotton are grown and

cattle thrive. Bhuj, the headquarters town is famous for its silver and textile

handicrafts. Kandla, however, is part of the New India; it is one of the eight major

ports of India and, as one of India's Free Trade Zones, has several export-oriented

industries. Gandhidham was formed as a planned town to re-locate Sindhi migrants

from Pakistan and has flourished as a smallscale industrial centre supplying Kandla's

21


industries with ancillaries. Narayan Sarovar & Koteshwar are the famous pilgrimage

places.

MAJOR INDUSTRIES

Salt Industry

In spite of several odds, the social economic factors have stimulated the

growth and development of various need based industries in India since independence,

the salt is one of them. Salt is one of the major food items for human being and important

raw material which has played a very significant role in the industrial development. It is

basic raw material for the production of heavy chemicals such as soda ash, caustics soda,

chlorine, sodium metal, and hydrochloric acid etc. which in turn are required by a large

number of industries.

Besides, salt is also used for fish curing and tanning of hides and skins, water

softening, salting out of soap, or dressing and food preservation. Having realized the

important of salt, appropriate and expeditious have been taken by the government of

India to boost salt production in the country. The edible salt requirements are normally

calculated @ 6 Kg. per capita, per annum.

37


Kutch district is the highest salt producing district in Gujarat and probably the

same is at the national level. Most of the factors relative to salt production are favorable

in the district. Salt is manufactured by solar evaporation of sea water and subsoil brines.

The rapid expansion of salt industry in Kutch is due to suitable climatic conditions, low

rainfalls, long period of dry weather, fairly high temperature, good wind velocity, suitable

soil conditions and abundance quality of raw materials.

It has the longest sea shore in the country and there is no river to dilute the sea

water. Therefore the good quality of sea water is available through out the district. In

certain areas high degree subsoil brine is available.

At present, Gujarat is on the top of salt producing state, contributing about 70 %

of the total salt production and out of which 40% is being produced in Kutch region.

There are potential for development of salt industry as well as salt based allied industries

in the district. The salt industry has received due weighted with the induction of goiter

control program. It was decided to complete iodization of entire edible salt in the country.

The salt industry of Kutch region has responded positively to this challenge.

Approximately there are 100 salt plants are available in district, among them 15 to

20 has invested more then Rs.50 corers, other plants are either small units or medium

units. Major salt industries are Ankur Chemfood Products(Guj) Ltd., Wellbrines

Chemicals Ltd., Indobrine Industries Ltd., Laxmi Salt and Chemical Works Ltd., Friends

and Friends Group, Avni Salt Suppliers, Stayam Rasayan Pvt. Ltd. etc.

Minerals

Kutch district has a very significant contribution in respect of sum of the very

important mineral production like lignite, silica sand, which clay, bauxite, china clay,

38


bentonite, etc. Kutch was brought under the world mineral map due to it’s number two

position in the availability of sodium based bentonite. The total mineral production in the

district was 1322 metric tone. In 1961 which has significantly increased about 31.60 lack

metric tone. There are possibilities to set up following industries based upon about

minerals.

1. Lignite:

The production of lignite is about 95% of total mineral production in

Kutch and there is an ample scope of using this as a raw material for setting up of power

plant in the region. These ample raw materials should be utilized as under:

• Pocketed deposits: Explore for fuel consumption

• Extensive deposits: For power production

Lignite deposits are found in the western part of Kutch and strategically, it would

be advantageous from the security point of view to locate power production units so as to

curb the anti national activities and increase the population by creating more employment

opportunities. The transportation of lignite should be made to stop from the extensive

deposits so as to economically produced cheap power which could be transmitted instead

of raw lignite. The Gujarat mineral corporation may plant out a strategy for an efficient

use of huge deposits by way of partial privatization.

2. Limestone

The limestone is the key raw material for production of cements. This raw

material production was about 3000mt in costal areas of Kutch. It has been also

named as costal wealth of Kutch. The entire cement requirement of Gulf countries

could be made by 7000million mt. of limestone deposits available in western Kutch.

3. Bauxite

It is a metallic mineral and it’s production is around 33000mt. during 95-

96 a large size alluminium plant could be established in the region for making use of

39


bauxite. This will create more employment and improve social economic status of the

people.

4. Bentonite

It has a very good export market. This is a mineral which has brought

kutch on the world mineral map. Sodium based bentonite is used in steel plant, oil

exploration, medicines etc. the royalty charged on bentonite by the government of

Gujarat is very high as compared to other states and this has affected the export of

bentonite.f trhe benotnite cn be given value addition by manufacturing following

products:

• Activation of bentonite

• Organoclays

5. Silica sand

It is a mineral of 21st century and ample scope exists for the development of Silica

based industries. There is a scope to established glass and ceramic industries in

Kutch.

Other minerals available in Kutch are China clay, White clay, Red/yellow oxide,

Gypsum, Siderites, Fire clay, Sand stone, Akik, Fullurs earth, etc.

Other industries in Kutch district which were already established before any

incentive scheme declared by government are , Wooden Industry , Handy Craft

Industry etc.

40


THERMAL POWER PLANT:

Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC):

The Akri-Mota thermal power plant in Kutch

With accelerating industrialization, the demand of power in Gujarat also has been

increasing. The State Government, therefore, concluded that having established nearly

1000 million tones of lignite deposits at different locations in the State, lignite based

power production should be pursued in the State. Three large pit head lignite based power

stations are under implementation, one of which is being implemented by GMDC. Based

on lignite available at Panandhro and Akrimota in Lakhpat Taluka of Kutch district, the

41


Corporation is setting up a 250 MW power station at Village Chher Nani in the district.

This project is already under implementation and the project will be further expanded to

500 MW thereafter.

Lignite has several uses -- it is used in power generation, as a solid fuel by

briquette and carbonization with chemical by-products. It is also used as a feedstock for

making urea and methanol. It finds application in chemical and metallurgical industries

as coke. Raw lignite is used in cement and other industries. It is estimated that demand

from the power, textiles, chemicals and cement sectors, which are the major users of

lignite, will be around 54 metric tones by the turn of the century.

Expansion plans:-

The power project: GMDC has drawn up a forward integration programme. It

plans to set up two 125 MW lignite based power project in Kutch near Panandhro (where

its lignite mine is). The proposed project will cost Rs. 11.74 billion (including an

estimated Rs 2.1 billion for interest during construction) and is proposed to be financed

up to 70 per cent by term loans. The remaining will be generated as internal accruals.

All clearances including from Ministry of Environment and Forest, all other

clearances have been received. A part of the land has been acquired and acquisition of the

balance land, which is waste land is under progress. Global tenders for the main plant and

equipment have been invited and received. The project will be completed 38 months from

the placement of orders of plant and machinery. Not only would this project reduce the

company's debtors, it would also provide a tax holiday for five years.

The alumina project: Nearly 90 mt. of bauxite reserves are available in Kutch,

Jamnagar and Junagadh districts. Most of this is low grade bauxite which has to be mined

out in order to produce the high grade bauxite. This low grade bauxite has no other

economic use and has to be accumulated as dead inventory.

The company has therefore planned to set up a 0.75 mt alumina project to convert

this low grade bauxite into alumina. GMDC is also a co-promoter in Gujarat Alumina

42


and Bauxite, a 0.75 million tones alumina project at a cost of Rs 19.8 billion. GMDC will

contribute six per cent of the Rs.720 crore equity while the rest will be funded by the

joint venture partners, Gujarat Alkalis and Raytheon, USA. The project will be sourcing

its lignite from the company.

The lignite project: The company plans to commence operations at Mata no

Madh deposits so that the lignite of Panandhro can be kept in reserve for the Gujarat

Electricity Board power project. The preliminary work of overburden removal has

already commenced. Another lignite deposit at Umarsar, north of Panandhro is also being

developed.

Another power plant will be start by Adani Group at Mundra. They are planning

for 500 MW power project. Currently their Project has approved now they will start their

work as soon as possible.

EDIBLE OIL REFINARIES:

The district of Kutch is witnessing a spurt of investment in edible oil refineries.

With as many as 10 edible oil refineries, some of them by global giants, Kutch is all set to

emerge as the edible oil refining capital of India.

India annually consumes about 115 lakh tones of edible oil. While it refines

around 60 to 65 lakh tones domestically, it imports the rest to meet its requirement. This

gap is now likely to come down dramatically by early next year. Spurred by the excise

waiver announced by the Centre after the quake in 2000, the district of Kutch is fast

emerging as the edible oil refining capital of the country. As many as 10 companies,

including Cargill, Adani-Wilmar, Gujarat Ambuja Limited, Ruchi Soya and Gokul are

investing over Rs 500 crore (Rs 5 billion) in this district to set up their refineries.

For whoever is coming up in Kutch in Gandhidham or near to that area, there is a

possibility of a waiver of the excise duty which comes to around Rs 1,000 per tonne.

43


Proximity to the port of Kandla accounts for about 60% of the total edible crude

oil import into the country and cheaper transport available to North India are acting as

catalysts to this boom. This spurt in the edible oil business has now brought smiles to

those in Kutch.

The transport business, which is the back bone business in Kutch, will improve.

With that, the small hotelwallah, dhabawallah, the petrol pumps, the garagewallah will all

benefit, so this will strengthen the whole economy of Kutch."

With the deadline for seeking excise waiver nearing an end, the people of Kutch

now want the Centre to extend this benefit further.

Riding high on tax benefits, a large number of edible oil refineries have set up

their base in this district. Now if the government does decide to extend the benefit by two

more years, it would surely bring in more investment.

Most of the large units are advisedly coming up near port cities and towns so as to

enjoy logistics and location advantage. Port-based units will be able to save on transport

cost. There is increasing realization that the country will continue to be dependent on

import of oils for a significant portion of the consumption requirement in the foreseeable

future. Interestingly, these investments postulate that the government will continue to

impose lower rate of customs duty on crude oils vis-à-vis refined oils. Also, with

economic growth and increasing incomes, the market for refined oils is bound to expand

as evidenced by developments of last few years.

The Kutch district of Gujarat is all set to emerge as the edible oil refining nerve

centre of India over the next few months.

As per the present schedule, the desert outpost will boast of an annual edible oil

refining capacity to the tune of 23.75 lakh during the next fiscal. This would mean that

almost 37 per cent of the entire country's consumption, at 65 lakh tones, would be

generated from Kutch.

44


At Rs 50,000 per tone, this would translate into an annual turnover of Rs 11,875

crore for this district that was ravaged by the killer quake less than three years ago.

Excise duty exemption granted to units set up in Kutch region of Gujarat is surely

contributing to distortion of the industry and trade in edible oils. Already, there is

tremendous over-capacity in the refining industry. Setting up massive refining units in

Kutch is a wasteful deployment of scarce capital resources particularly when the overall

capacity utilization of the industry is not very high.

No one ventured to set up an edible oil refining unit in Kutch for almost two years

despite fiscal concessions announced. It was only after imposition of excise duty on the

manufacture of refined oils on February 28, 2003 that some players hit upon the brilliant

idea and started to set up refining units to benefit from the 5-year tax-holiday.

Exemption from excise duty would have been perfectly justified had excise duty

been leviable on refined oils on the day the excise duty exemption was announced; but

that was not the case. Obviously, there is a case for reviewing the excise duty exemption

being enjoyed by newly built refineries in Kutch.

Competition within the State has intensified as units located even a couple of

hundred kilometers away have to pay excise duty of Rs 1,000 a tones, making their

products so much more expensive. The distortion generated by the grant of unwarranted

duty exemption forces other players in the marketplace to explore ways and means of

cutting corners.

With the new industrial policy of the Gujarat Government offering an excise duty

holiday for five days, the major players in the edible oil refining business have only till

June 30, 2004 to put up their refineries and climb on to the duty waiver bandwagon.

Come June 2004 as many as six new big refineries would be up and running in

and around Gandhidham in Kutch and this will see an additional refining capacity of

6,200 tones per day getting created in a single district in India. Some of the big players

that are creating new refining facilities include Cargill India with its Nature Fresh brand,

45


Parakh Foods (Gemini), Ruchi Industries (Ruchi) and Param Industries (Mahakosh), each

one coming up with 1,000 tpd refineries. The one other certainty is Gokul RefOil

(Gokul), whose refinery is the smallest of the lot at 800 tpd.

Over and above the six committed players there were a few more companies that

were mulling entry into the refinery business in Kutch, he said.

What is currently happening in Kutch is quite historic as an annual excise duty

waiver of some Rs 237.5 crore is creating a massive refining base in the country. While

the five-year duty sop will cost the Government Rs 1,187 crore in entirety, the net gain

would come by way of Rs 11,875 crore each year from refined oil business, per se.

Against this, the capital investment for each refinery may be anywhere between Rs 50

crore and Rs 90 crore. It was Adani Wilmar that set the trend of setting support-based

refineries in India with the 600 tpd refinery at Mundra, action soon shifted to other port

towns like Kakinada, Mangalore, Chennai and Haldia. It took only a couple of years for

Kakinada to emerge as the edible oil powerhouse of the country with refining capacity of

around 2,400 tpd.

Clearly, the process of a shift in balance in the edible oil refining business has

been set in motion and there is no denying Kutch the laurel of industry hub any more.

The new business should give that vital spark to the desert district's economy that was

hitherto missing. And there would be host of other businesses that would get going in a

big way in the next few months as is borne by the projected requirement for oil tankers

which is put at an additional 720 trucks per day.

Small and medium-sized edible oil refineries across western and northern States

are rather upset with the rapid setting up of massive refining capacities in the Kutch

region of Gujarat. They apprehend a significant loss of investment apart from loss of

business and employment.

The association has argued that the new refineries are all automated and would

not create employment in any significant numbers. Also, as these units are located near

46


the port of Kandla, they would naturally be dependent on imported vegetable oils for

their raw material needs, thereby denying an outlet for indigenous oils.

The rate of excise duty on manufacture of refined oils is Rs 1,000 per tone

equivalent to Re 1 per kg and on vanaspati Rs 1,250 a tonne or Rs 1.25/kg. This was

levied in the last Union Budget announced on February 28, 2003. The association has

charged that grant of excise duty exemption for such port-based units have gone against

the interest of farmers and domestic producers.

The major player in this sector are shown as follow, Adani Wilmer Ltd , Cargill

Ind. Ltd, Globle Oil & Fats Ltd. , Param Industries Ltd etc

4) ADANI WILMAR LTD.

"Globally competitive India focused MNC, with leadership in edible oil business,

providing branded products & services, to the delight of customers & stock holders."

Adani Wilmar Ltd. a joint venture between two global corporations......

The Rs. 3500/- crore, Adani group of India - the leaders in international trading &

private infrastructure, and The US$ 2.5 billion Wilmar Holdings Pte.Ltd. of Singapore -

one of the Asia's largest players in trading & procession of edible oils.

Together, they have built India's largest & most sophisticated oil refinery located

at Mundra in Dist. of Kutch, Gujarat-India, 10 kms. away from Mundra port. The refining

capacity is of 600 TDP of edible oil & 100 TDP of vanaspati. The plant receives

technical assistance from Archer Daniel Midlands Co. of US which is a share holder in

Wilmar.

• Various crude oils such as Soya bean, Sunflowers seed, Cotton seed, Palmonein

are sourced from countries like Malaysia, Brazil, Canada, Indonesia, Argentina,

USA, etc. & even locally from Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat & Rajasthan.

• Backed by the Mundra Port's huge storage facilities and the group's vast dealer

network & marketing channel, Adani Wilmar Ltd. is able to provide its premium

range of Fortune edible oils across the country as per the taste of customers &

has been striving hard continuously to maintain the company's vision.

• AWL’s flagship brand Fortune has set a scorching pace in the Indian edible oil

market. It is ranked 30th among the top 50 FMCG brands. A commendable

achievement for a brand which is just 3 years old.

51


Future Expansion Projects

• The Rs 1,250-crore Adani Wilmar Ltd (AWL), the 50:50 joint venture between

Adani Exports Ltd and the Singapore-based Wilmar Trading Pte Ltd, has

undertaken a massive capacity expansion project for its 950-tpd edible oils

refinery at Mundra. Originally set up as a 600-tpd refinery, this unit is set to touch

a refining capacity of 2,000 tpd over the next six months, by February 2004.

• The capital cost for the doubling of refinery capacity has been put at Rs 80 crore.

Currently, AWL imports crude edible oil to the tune of 25,000 tonnes per month

from Brazil and Argentina. Once the additional refining capacity is put in place,

the crude import is set to touch 55,000 tonnes per month.

• The 1,050-tpd-refinery expansion is coming by way of a stand-alone plant at a

location adjoining the existing refinery at Mundra.

• The setting up of the separate unit has been fashioned largely by the tax breaks —

both excise and sales tax — that are on offer from the Gujarat Government in

Kutch, as part of its earthquake rehabilitation programme.

• According to company sources, work on the capacity expansion drive is well

under way with the placement of orders for plant machinery such as boilers

having already been placed. While the decision to go in for the additional refining

capacity has been centred around the success of its Fortune brand edible oil,

Adani Wilmar is also toying with the idea of exporting the refined oil to nearby

countries come 2004.

• The Fortune branded edible oil from AWL is the market leader in the soya oil

segment with 48 per cent market share just as its overall market share among

branded edible oils have been hovering around 15 to 17 per cent.

52


• It is AWL's hope that the augmentation of refining capacity would help it reach

25 per cent of the all-India edible oil pie during the next fiscal.

• Earlier, in 2002, the company was planning to double the then existing capacity of

the refinery at 600 tpd to 1,200 tpd at a capital outlay of Rs 95 crore.

• At that time, it was also planning to put up a refinery at Kakinada to cater to the

southern and eastern domestic markets. However, the Adani group shelved its

Kakinada plans though its partner, Wilmar Trading decided to go ahead with the

project.

MUNDRA SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE:

The Adani Group, the promoter and developer of the Mundra SEZ, has varied

interest in the field of Global Trading, Infrastructure Development (Port and Gas), Edible

Oil Manufacturing and Trading, Retail Trading and Business Process Outsourcing (Call

Centers).

The Group has defined the vision for the development of Mundra SEZ as:

“To be a preferred destination offering world-class infrastructure, services and

multimodal connectivity for global business, living, learning and recreation”.

This will be achieved by the following mission:

“Attracting and retaining manufacturing, trading and service activities by

providing the most comprehensive competitive advantages through collaboration with the

best in class partners for enhanced returns to stakeholders and tangible contribution to the

economy”.

Project view

The business model envisages a mix of developments in terms of the developer

and through co-developers / units operating in the SEZ. The land acquisition is envisaged

to be completed in a period of three years. The schedule provides for acquisition of

10,000 hectares over the project period. The total land to be developed has been arrived

at, based on the estimated uptake of land by the industrial, residential, commercial and

95


support infrastructure, utilities, open spaces and social infrastructure for Diversified

Industrial Streams as well as Mega Projects.

Proposed Industrial Infrastructure

Mundra SEZ enjoys several unique advantages over the other existing and

planned SEZs in the state. Firstly, the presence of a functional deep-water, multipurpose,

all weather, private sector port under the management of the SEZ promoters. Secondly,

the location’s proximity to regions rich mineral resources (e.g. limestone and

bauxite) would help attract Mega Projects. Thirdly, Mundra port was planned and is fast

emerging as a gateway port for the productive, landlocked Northwestern Hinterland of

the country.

These advantages should help the SEZ preferentially to attract prospective SEZ

investors. This investment stream should act as a tremendous boost to the prospects of the

Mundra SEZ.

Mundra SEZ’s potential to attract Mega Projects:

Power plant, Cement, Alumina, Petroleum / petrochemicals , Edible oil , Industrial salts

and chemicals , Other mineral or coal-based industries.

A summary of planned projects:

• Power plant: GPCL and the Government of India planning to set up a 500 MW

imported coal based power plant.

• Cement: Sanghi Industries’ 2.6 million tpa project.

96


• Edible oil: Adani wilmar’s capacity expansion of its existing 800 TPD refinery,

to 2200 TPD.

• Industrial salt: Adani Group’s proposed one million tonnes industrial salt plant at

Mundra.

Proposed Commercial Infrastructure

The Commercial Infrastructure as envisaged for development comprises of two key areas

viz. Land Development and Civil Construction.

Land Development

• Total 3,450 hectares land for industrial stream Port land of 2000 hectares to be

developed, due to it being low lying area and occasional tidal levels reaching

up to 6.4 m. from chart datum.

• Land filling will be done by sand and soil brought from neighboring burrow areas

and dredged soil will also be available from regular dredging of sea bed at

Mundra Port.

• By bringing the earth from nearby areas, pond type structures are also created

which are used for rainwater storage.

Civil Construction

• Commercial and Support Infrastructure has been planned to house integration of

trading houses and various service sector units like offshore banking units,

insurance companies, commodity brokers and other support services like

restaurants, exhibition centers, etc.

Residential Buildings

97


The primary goals of the housing plan are to provide housing affordable to those

projected to live in the SEZ and to attract family oriented owned housing. It is

envisaged that three categories of accommodation would be provided to the workforce

for Diversified Industrial Streams as well as Mega Projects.

Type 1: For unskilled and semi-skilled work force

Type 2: For skilled workforce

Type 3: For managerial workforce

JAKHAU PORT

Introduction

Jakhau is also one of the oldest port of Kutch. Now a days this port is used for

only fisher men. Jakhau has its own important. This is very beautiful Port of Kutch. There

is center for cost guard and water wing of B.S.F. Water of Jakhau is full precious Fishes.

Future Exapansion

• Jakhau, a major fishing port on the Kutch coast, is poised to emerge as the largest

fishing port in Gujarat with the launch of port development programme today.

• Gujarat Minister of State for Fisheries Babubhai Bokhiria today laid the

foundation stone of the construction of the 1,260- metre long warf wall for

anchoring the fishing boats.

two years.

• The project includes reclamation of 175,000 square metres of land for fishing

activities and digging of a 1.5 km-long channel for the movement of boats.

98


• The fish procurement at the port was expected to increase up to 10,000 tonnes per

year and can earn foreign exchange to the tune of Rs 5 million. It would generate

employment facilities for nearly 10, 000 people.

• Some more development in infrastructure like water supply , roads , etc. are under

planning under cost of Rs 5 cr.

As per Hilti Guideline, world wide they have defined multiplication factor’s for find

out potential for company at any region. According to that guide line potential factors

are given below:

Type of project Multiplication factorIndustrial projects 0.01% of total project costPorts 0.05% of total project cost

115


According to above guide line,

• Potential from ports = total project cost X 0.05%

= 500 X 0.05%

= Rs.0.25 crores

• Potential from industries = total project cost X 0.01%

= 9442 X 0.01%

= Rs. 0.9442 crores

• Total Potential from Kutch district = Rs. 1.1942 crores

As per Hilti’s cost analysis sales turnover of Rs. 6 million per year from

Gandhidham make to territory sufficiently profitable and feasible to open an office.

As per the calculation potential from Kutch is sufficient for Hilti to open an office

in Kutch district.

SUGGESTIONS

117


• To create more awareness of technology by arranging seminars, take

participation in exhibitions.

• A very big exhibition is going to conduct in Kutch on December 2004 as

“ Buildex And Home Appliance “ in which major contractors , consultants

Engineers and Architect will be present

• So Hilti should take this opportunity by putting their stall in that Exhibition .

• Most of contractors and consultants in kutch district are emphasis more in cost

of Hilti’s product. Hilti should try to convert to cost base negative image to

quality base positive image.

• Hilti should provide Material as well as execution service.

• Should put fulltime effort in Kutch district.

118


CONCLUTION

119


From the project I conclude that after earthquake the Government policy like tax

holyday and infrastructural facility like ports and roads have bring good amount of

capital to the Kutch and it has given very good pace to the construction industry and

which has created very good potential for the construction related industry like Hilti.
