The estimated cost of the proposed Resin project will be 2.50 Crores. Total budget allocation towards Environmental Management Facilities will be approx. Rs. 40.70 Lakhs. Total 13 persons will be employed including skilled persons, unskilled persons and office staff.

Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region:

Resins are used predominantly in the Paints, Varnishes, particle board and wood products industry. Growth of these resins is strongly correlated to construction/remodeling activity (which accounts for over 50% of consumption), and to a lesser degree, to the automotive industry.

Resins are expected to lead the market due to its growing use in the wood adhesives application. The market for resins is also expected to witness the highest CAGR from 2016 to 2021. The main features of resins are, the superior heat resistance, high flexibility, mechanical strength, and moldability, and excellent friction properties.

The global resin market is classified on the basis of application, namely, wood adhesives, moulding, laminates, foundry, insulation, and others. The wood adhesives application is the largest, due to the rapidly growing construction industry, which in turn is driving the consumption of wood adhesives. The moulding application is also expected to grow at the highest CAGR during forecast period.

The global resin market is classified on the basis of end-use industry, namely, automotive, building & construction, furniture, electrical & electronics, and others. Automotive is the largest and the fastest-growing end-use industry due to the growing automobile sales. In addition, the increase in the use of phenolic resins in applications such as, brake linings, clutch facing, and brake pads is also expected to drive the phenolic resin market.

The global resin market is segmented on the basis of region, namely, Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, Middle East & Africa, and South America. Currently, the Asia-Pacific region is the largest and one of the fastest growing markets for resins, which is majorly dominated by China and India. The high growth in India is attributed to the high demand from the construction and furniture industries. Rapid industrialization and improved standards of living in India are expected to drive the demand for resins during the forecast period i.e. 2016 to 2021.

Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project:

This project will provide direct employment to 13 persons whereas it will provide employment to many others indirectly.
