2.2 Project Proponent
Sanskar chemicals and Drugs private limited is a private firm incorporated in 2009. It is classified as Non-Government Company.
Mr. R Dinesh Kumar is one of the directors of the company.
2.3 Brief Description of Nature of the Project
M/s. Sanskar Chemicals and Drugs private limited is an existing unit at survey no. 457/3A, 457/3C, 457/4A, 457/4C, 457/4C (part) Ammoor village, 12/5 (Part) Chettithangal village, Walajah Taluka, Vellore district, Tamil Nadu and proposed for the addition of new products within the existing facility.
12 2.4 Need for the Project and its importance
The Indian pharmaceutical industry ranks third globally by volume of production and accounts for around 10% of the global production. Low cost and skilled manpower are key factors supporting growth of the Indian pharmaceutical industry. According to the Department of Pharmaceuticals, the Indian pharmaceutical industry employees around 3,50,000 people. Pharmaceuticals Industry in India is expected to be worth US$ 55.39 billion by 2020. Indian pharmaceuticals market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18% by 2020 driven by the ageing and growing population, rising income levels, emerging medical conditions and new diseases. The market for consumption of drugs and pharmaceuticals is the ever increasing with human population; societies that are acquiring phenomenal purchasing power and with it, the consciousness and desire for an overall well-being. The production volumes will be forced to keep increasing.
The industry produces drugs belonging to all major therapeutic groups. The order to meet the market demand, M/s. Sanskar Chemicals & Drugs private limited proposes to expand its existing production facility by adding new products.
2.5 Demand-Supply Gap
The proponent planned to do Job work for Shasun pharmaceuticals ltd with products like Polyallamine hydro chloride and Isopropanol hydrochloride. Polyallylamine hydrochloride is not having the marketing scope, so they stopped production further. Based on the requirement of Shasun, the proponent is supplying Isopropanol Hydrochloride.
2.6 Import Possibility
At present, there is no import Possibility for the Existing products.
After Expansion the proponent may import Hydrogen Bromide, Allyl Alcohol and Isopropanol.
2.7 Domestic/Export Markets
Indian pharmaceutical industry, with a current market size of approx. $27.57 billion is expected to reach a mark of $55 billion by 2020 according to a report by the Indian Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF). In the next three years, India is projected to be among the top three pharmaceutical markets in terms of growth rate and the sixth largest market globally in absolute size.
India accounts for 20% of the global exports in generics. In the financial year 2016, India exported Pharmaceuticals products worth $16.89 billion, with the number expected to reach $40 billion by 2020.
13 2.8 Employment Generation
The proposed expansion project will generate employment opportunities to the local population. At present 25 persons are employed in the industry. After expansion 10 more persons will be employed. Manpower details are given in Table 2-2.
