5 2.0 Introduction/Brief Project Description The objective of this pre feasibility study is to provide information for the Manufacturing and Supply unit of Synthetic Coal Tar Dyes, Lakes & Pigments for Food, Drug, Cosmetics, Personal Care and Ink Industries, Natural Colors & Chemicals by M/s. Neelikon Food Dyes & Chemicals Ltd. at Plot no. 17, unit no. II, MIDC Dhatav, Taluka - Roha, District- Raigad, Maharashtra. The Neelikon Food Dyes & Chemicals Ltd., is 100% Export Oriented Unit (EOU). Company s ranges of specialty dyes are used in foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, personal care, ink-jet inks, writing inks and fluorescent pigments. Its products conform to internationally accepted standards, including those of the US FDA, the EC and Japan. Neelikon exports more than 90% of its production to around 100 countries. The everincreasing demand for the products in India & Abroad has prompted the promoters to undertake expansion in Manufacturing and Supply of Synthetic Coal Tar Dyes, Lakes & Pigments for Food, Drug, Cosmetics, Personal Care and Ink Industries, Natural Colors & Chemicals. As per the provision of EIA Notification No. S.O.1533 (E) dated as amended on December 01, 2009, the project comes under Category 5 (f) B 2.1 Project Proponent: In 1983, Mr. Mukund B. Turakhia, the promoter started a proprietary concern, Neelikon Dyestuffs, at Roha, Maharashtra. It initially manufactured fungicides and dye intermediates. In 1987, it started other manufacturing lines (synthetic dyes for food, drugs and cosmetic applications). Neelikon Food Dyes and Chemicals Ltd. was incorporated on April 18, 1994 as a closely held public limited company. The Company was promoted by Mr Mukund Turakhia and his two sons. 2.2 Brief Description of Nature of the Project Neelikon has indigenously developed a range of high quality synthetic dyes for the food, pharmaceutical, Cosmetics, personal care, inkjet ink, writing ink and fluorescent pigment industries. It started with a single plant and expanded operations to fourteen plants in two manufacturing units. The second unit was started in 2002 as a 100% export-oriented unit (EOU). The Company is an ISO 9001: 2008, FSSC and GMP certified company. Its products have received the clearances from the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA), Kosher Halal and the ISI (BIS) license. 2.3 Need for the Project & its Importance to the Country & or Region Dyestuff industry plays an important role in the economic development of the country. The Indian Dyestuff Industry, which was primarily started to cater to the needs of domestic textile industry, now not only meets more than 95% requirement of the domestic market, but has gradually also made a dent in the global market. Today, India exports dyes and dye intermediate to the very same countries, on which it was dependant for imports till a decade ago. All ranges of dyes such as disperse, reactive, vats, pigments and leather dyes are now being manufactured in India. Mumbai & Surrounding area has emerged as dye & chemicals manufacturer city with a presence in global market. The Company aims to be one of the top players in the global food, 4

6 drug, cosmetic and fluorescent dyes segments and to develop other specialty dyes such as inkjet and writing ink dyes. Its core strength is the consistent high quality of its products and its development of new products. Neelikon is planning to utilise this strength and target large MNC end-users to obtain their requirements directly. It plans to set up a dedicated sales force in both the domestic and international markets. 2.4 Demands-Supply Gap Textile sector is a major consumer of Dyestuffs. Reactive Dyes, Vat Dyes & Azo Dyes are mainly required for dyeing and printing of cotton fibres. Disperse Dyes are mainly consumed for dyeing synthetic fibers. Acid Dyes are consumed in leather and woolen products. Many Special Dyes & pigments are used in printing inks. Some also have multiple uses in different applications. The production of synthetic fibre achieved during the year to the extent of lakhs MT. The estimated demand of synthetic fibre by terminal year of 11th five year plan may increase to lakh tonnes. The demand of cotton textile may also be to the order of lakh MT by the end of 11th plan. The Government's policy to promote export of cotton goods and promote blend of polyester fibres with cotton/viscose locally is likely to result in continued high demand for disperse dyes. The industry needs to create a set up to monitor very regularly the growth in exports and take necessary corrective action along the route to achieve the targets. In India, the per capita consumption of dyes is 50 gms., which is very low as compared to a world consumption of 425 gms., which indicates that there is a tremendous potential for growth of this sector in India. Imports Vs Indigenous Production Neelikon is planning to utilise this strength and target large MNC end-users to obtain their requirements directly. It plans to set up a dedicated sales force in both the domestic and international markets. Mr. Turakhia, promoter of the company, was responsible for introducing indigenous technology for the production of food dye in India in For this, he was presented a National Award from the President of India. He has also received the Highest Export Award from CHEMEXCIL - A Government of India Export Promotion Council, for the export of Synthetic Indigo Dye ( ) and Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) Indian Exporter s Excellence Award Domestic/ Export Markets The Company aims to be one of the top players in the global food, drug, cosmetic and fluorescent dyes segments and to develop other specialty dyes such as inkjet and writing ink dyes. Its core strength is the consistent high quality of its products has to be backed by large capacities and developing state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities to attract large direct endusers, and building up a wide distribution network. This is 100% EOU unit. Neelikon is selling their products over 100 countries. Increase in production capacity will help Indian government to bring more foreign currency. 5
