9 M/s Vishnu Chemicals Ltd. Pre-Feasibility Report quarter at Hyderabad, India, Vishnu Chemicals is in the business of manufacturing, marketing and the export of Chromium chemicals and other specialty chemicals. The proposed project is manufacturing of Inorganic Products & Fine Chemical. 2.2 Brief Description of Nature of the Project The project proponent proposed to expand existing Inorganic Chemical manufacturing unit. As per EIA Notification 2006, the project is 5 (f) Synthetic Organic Chemical Industry. Technology for manufacturing the products listed under proposed expansion is available from inhouse R&D & private consultants. 2.3 Need for the Project and its Importance to the Country and or Region Saccharin was discovered over a century ago and has been used as a non-caloric sweetener in foods and beverages for more than 100 years. Consumers and the doctors, dentists and dietitians who counsel them have overwhelmingly supported its benefits. Benefits Saccharin has been used to sweeten foods and beverages without calories or carbohydrates for over a century. Its use was considerable during the sugar shortages of the two world wars, particularly in Europe. For many people, saccharin is an integral part of their lifestyle. It is particularly important to those whose diets require a restriction of caloric or carbohydrate intake, such as persons with diabetes. Most health practitioners favor the use of a non-caloric sweetener like saccharin in weight reduction and for people with diabetes following a diabetic diet. According to opinion research, people use saccharin to stay in better overall health, control weight or maintain an attractive physical appearance. Research also has shown that health professionals believe saccharin is especially beneficial to persons with diabetes and the obese, and helps reduce dental cavities. Saccharin continues to be important for a wide range of low-calorie and sugar-free food and beverage applications. It is used in such products as soft drinks, tabletop sweeteners, baked goods, jams, chewing gum, canned fruit, candy, dessert toppings and salad dressings. Saccharin also is used in cosmetic products, vitamins and pharmaceuticals. 4

10 M/s Vishnu Chemicals Ltd. Pre-Feasibility Report The current availability of saccharin and other low-calorie sweeteners, such as aspartame, acesulfame potassium, cyclamate, neotame and sucralose, allows manufacturers to utilize a multiple sweetener approach using the most appropriate sweetener, or combination of sweeteners, for a given product. No low-calorie sweetener is perfect for all uses. However, a variety of sweeteners enables the development of a much wider range of new, good-tasting, low-calorie products to meet consumer demand. Also, a variety of low-calorie sweeteners provides products with increased stability, improved taste, lower production costs and more choices for the consumer. Saccharin is a sweetening agent that is about 500 times sweeter than ordinary sugar, saccharin is widely used as a sugar substitute. It is classified as a non-caloric sweetener. Saccharin main use has been as a sweetener in diet sodas and other low-calorie beverages and foods such as baked goods, jams, chewing gum, canned fruit, candy, dessert toppings and salad dressings and electroplating industry. Diabetics should consume saccharin-sweetened substances only under medical supervision. Safety Saccharin has been the subject of extensive scientific research. It is one of the most studied ingredients in the food supply. Although the totality of the available research indicates saccharin is safe for human consumption, there has been controversy over its safety. The basis for the controversy rests primarily on findings of bladder tumors in some male rats fed high doses of sodium saccharin. Considerable saccharin research, however, indicates safety at human levels of consumption. The average user of saccharin ingests less than one ounce of the sweetener each year. 2.4 Demand and Supply Gap India is the world s biggest sugar consumer with over 24.7 million tonnes in the crop year 2012/13; compound growth rate is at 2.3% per annum in the last 5 years. Domestic sugar production meets about 97% of sugar demand, so India still had to import sugar in previous years. Effects of bad weather can cause major shocks to the domestic supply, which is similar to 2009 when output suddenly fell by 40%. Sugar accounts for almost 80% of global sweetener market; the remaining 20% is syrup sweeteners and artificial sweeteners. The development of the sugar substitutes depend on the 5

11 M/s Vishnu Chemicals Ltd. Pre-Feasibility Report polices in different countries. Some products may be allowed to use in this country. World consumption of the substitute sweetner is follows: Sucralose 34%, Aspartame 26%, Saccharin 12%, Cyclamates 1%, Natural 2%, HIS 8%, Ace K 7%, Neotame, 1%. It is reported that there is increase in the consumption of these products by about 5-6% every year. As Indian industries are importing from neighbouring countries and western countries, indicates the gap in the demand and supply of the products in the domestic markets. The products manufacture by the proponent has demand from 35 Countries i.e., China, Asia, South East Asia, Europe, UK, North, South and Central America, Africa etc. In addition, the products are consumed in domestic market. M/s. Vishnu Chemicals Ltd. are the market leaders for Chromium chemicals in India. 2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous production, Export Possibility, Domestic/Export Markets Analysis of Exports of saccharin India exported saccharin worth USD 7,477,303 with total quantity of 790,022. United States is the largest buyer of saccharin accounting for exports worth USD 3,075,266 followed by Belgium and Bangladesh which imported saccharin worth USD 925,970 and USD 699,124 respectively. Nhava Sheva Sea accounted for 80.4% of exports followed by Petrapole Road and Bombay Air Cargo which account for 9.3% and 4.8% of exports respectively. Average price of saccharin per unit is USD 9.46 and average value per shipment is Rs. 14,379. As it is a well-known fact that Indian products are well accepted abroad for its quality and marketing flexibility. The exports from the Indian companies to other foreign countries such as Europe, America, Japan and other African countries has been increasing every year. This shows the acceptability of the products produced in India. Saccharin is used in formulations also. The formulations market has shown a tremendous increase in the exports every year. However, the basic raw material for formulations is APIs. Hence, this sector has a tremendous potential of indigenous market as well as export market and the promotion of such projects will not only help by way of generation of employment but also by generation of foreign currency reserves for the country. Analysis of Imports of saccharin India imported saccharin worth USD 19,108,975 with total quantity of 2,142,108. China is the largest supplier of saccharin accounting for imports worth USD 9,950,054 followed by Indonesia 6

12 M/s Vishnu Chemicals Ltd. Pre-Feasibility Report and United States which exported saccharin worth USD 6,303,895 and USD 1,301,416 respectively. Nhava Sheva Sea accounted for 90.7% of imports followed by Hyderabad Air Cargo and Bombay Air Cargo which account for 3.5% and 3.2% of imports respectively. Average price of saccharin per unit is USD 8.92 and average value per shipment is Rs. 28,184 Domestic Market This potential can be utilized to the fullest extent possible by increasing the production capacity of the existing industries or by establishing new industries to meet the market demand of the products. 2.6 Employment Generation due to the Proposed Project The following Table shows the manpower requirement after expansion of the proposed project: 3.0 Project Description 3.1 Type of the project Type Existing (No. of persons) Proposed (No. of persons) Total after Expansion Direct Indirect Total Proposed expansion project of fine chemicals falls under category B as per EIA Notification 2006 under the item No. 5 (f).
