28 INDIAN GAMMA IRRADIATION INDUSTRY

29 BACKGROUND Technology first introduced in India in the late 1960 s. Cobalt-60 source is produced and supplied indigenously by the Board of Radiation and Isotope technology, Govt of India. Currently about 19 gamma irradiation plants have been built and commissioned in the country. 5 more facilities are under construction. 3-4 low energy E-beam facilities exist in the country, primarily dedicated to cable cross linking. Majority of the Gamma Irradiation plants are involved in High/Medium dose irradiation of medical disposables, spices, herbal products and pet food. Currently 3 plants exist that are focused on low dose agro Irradiation.

31 AGRO IRRADIATION SCENARIO India is among the largest producers of fresh fruits, vegetables, meat and seafood and food grains in the world. However, only a fraction of this quantity is exported. Post harvest losses are high due to the temperate climate and lack of infrastructure. Food Irradiation has vast potential, but is still in its infancy in India due to key obstacles that are preventing the widespread use of this technology. Currently dominated by export / quarantine related applications.

32 UNIQUE FEATURES OF THE INDUSTRY Most plants are metro-centric and located in Tier 1 cities such as Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi and consequently, have higher real estate costs. High incidence of merchant plants involved in contract irradiation rather than in-house irradiation. Lower production volumes and dispersed production centers. Mature market for High/ Medium dose irradiation. Agro product irradiation currently in its infancy, despite significant potential. Highly cost sensitive market with a lack of financing options for irradiation projects.

33 AGRO IRRADIATION India is among the largest producers of fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, seafood and food grains in the world. Post harvest losses are high due to the temperate climate, improper storage, treatment and packing infrastructure, poor transportation networks etc. Significant percentage of these losses can be reduced if the food products are irradiated and stored properly. However, only a very small fraction of food products are currently irradiated, and are primarily for export/ quarantine related applications. Very few food/agro irradiation facilities in the country, with most of them being located at or near major cities.

34 NEW DEVELOPMENTS Significant improvement in Infrastructure in the past few years. Make in India initiative to promote manufacturing in the country. Special incentives and subsidies by the government to setup Irradiation facilities for food processing applications. Simplification of norms for export of medical devices Medical Device Rule notified in 2017 to simplify regulation and promote manufacturing. Establishment of Medical device manufacturing parks in India, with common facilities for testing, sterilization and training. Increasing awareness of irradiation technology and its benefits.

35 ELECTRON BEAM IN INDIA CHALLENGES Larger package sizes Relatively smaller volumes of products. Low cost of gamma Irradiation Price sensitive market High import tariffs OPPURTUNITIES Increasing focus on security of facilities. Increasing availability of medical devices and other products Pro-Industry government policies KEY FOCUS AREAS Reducing the plant cost by local sourcing of noncore components. Tie up with local partners for regulatory liaison, maintenance and logistical support. Flexible pricing and payment options.
