POWDER –ACTUATED FASTENING
As a leading company, Hilti has influenced powder-actuated fastening more than
any other company. Powder-actuated tools drive nails or threaded studs primarily in to
steel, concrete or plastered masonry. Heat generated by the fastener during penetration
either sinters it with concrete, or fuses it with steel resulting in high holding power in
both cases. The holding power achieved with this Hilti technology make fastenings
suitable for sustained cyclic loading and long term static loading. High product quality
and protection against corrosion are prerequisites for reliable fastenings. For use in the
powder-actuated tools, Hilti has an extensive programme of threaded studs, nails and
combination fasteners. These fasteners are for a large variety of applications, primarily in
the fields of installing profiled metal sheeting , putting up concrete forms, interion
finishing and securing insulating material. The Hilti DX programme extends from a
simple, single-fastening toos to a fully automatic magazine tool. High fastening rates can
be achieved with these tools thanks to their cartridge and nail magazines, their ergonomic
design and the fact that an electrical supply is not required.
Application

• Installation of electrical trunking.
• Fixing electrical conduits.
• Fixing pipe rings to steel.
• Fixing of air conditioning ducts.
• Fixing flexible conduits. etc

ANCHOR SYSTEMS
Hilti offers comprehensive anchor systems for a very wide variety of fastenings.
A key area of expertise is anchor fastening where approvals are required and safety is at
stake. A clear distinction is made between fastening with mechanical and chemicals
anchors. Safety, standard and light-duty versions of mechanical anchors are offered and
supported with extensive application.
Chemical anchors take the form of injection and adhesive systems. Injection
systems are outstanding above all for their ability to be used for universal fastening in
virtually any kind of base material. Special adhesive systems are available to customers
for medium and heavy-duty fastenings. Both the injection and adhesive systems can be
used for train or tram rail anchoring.

DIAMOND SYSTEMS
Diamond systems include coring and sawing with diamond tools and equipment.
Diamond core bits are used to wet or dry drill concrete, stone and masonry. The cutting
systems are design to work minerals and metal materials. The saws are for cutting
concrete and masonry. Primary, diamond core bits and saw blades are used for heavily
reinforced concrete, especially when making openings in heavy concrete, stone and
masonry, professional workmen can carry out even the toughest applications.
Application

KUTCH
AT
A GLANCE
HISTORY
· Kutch is an erstwhile princely state of India.. The land is virtually 'an island'
resembling a tortoise "Katchua or Kachbo", surrounded by seawater. Kutch was
also known as the kutchdweep or Kutchbet
18

· Prior to the drawn of Christine era , the region lying between sindh and saurastra
has been described as Abhir by which the name it has also referred to in the
Mahabharat.
· The Greek traveler and military commander also named this region as abiria or
Abir corrupted from its original name of Abhir during the second century before
the Christ.
· Till the 3rd and 4th century A.D. and even thereafter it came to be referred to by
both the names Kachchh as well as Abhir.
· First known as abhir from its original inhabitants, the Ahirs, who resided in this
area, it later on came to be known as Kutch because of its unique geographical
location surrounded by water and waste land.
· Formerly a princely state, Kutch was established in the 14th century by Rajputs
and passed under British rule in 1815. Kutch was incorporated into Gujarat in
1960.
GEOGRAPHY
· The region of Kutch is located 22 degree north of the tropic of cancer i.e. at 44'-
11' or 24degree from the north pole, 41-25'north latitude and 68 degree, 09'-46'
and 71 degree, 54'-47' east degree of longitude.
· On its north and northwest lies Pakistan, on the east Banarskantha and Maherana,
while on its southeast is Surendranagar and its south has the Bay of Kutch and the
district of Rajkot.
· The Arabic Sea lies to its southwest and west. It is the largest district of the state
of Gujarat and the second largest district in India covering The total area of Kutch
is of 45692 square km, of which 23310 square km is desert.
· Kutch comprises Gujarat’s 23.27% area. It has a total 960 villages and 10 cities.
19

· Its most sparsely populated one is a sandy, barren area over half of which is desert
and marshland. The last of the Indian wild ass are found here. Some pulses and
cotton are grown and cattle thrive.
· Kachchh is a fascinating land and no visit to Gujarat is complete without a
sojourn to this peninsular district . Its remoteness has kept it a place apart for
centuries. The people are very sturdy, business minded and seafaring. Kandla a
major seaport of the country with its single point-mooring facilities, happens to be
the only free trade zone of India.
· Kachchh produces some of Gujarat's most exquisite crafts like embroidery, tie die
fabrics, enameled silverware and other handicrafts. Kachchh is also the largest
district in Gujarat.
20

· Much of the region was devastated by a strong earthquake in Jan., 2001.
· Kutch was one of the few states, who didn't derive their name from their capital (the
capital of Kutch is Bhuj), but from their region.
· The last of the Indian wild ass are found here. Some pulses and cotton are grown and
cattle thrive. Bhuj, the headquarters town is famous for its silver and textile
handicrafts. Kandla, however, is part of the New India; it is one of the eight major
ports of India and, as one of India's Free Trade Zones, has several export-oriented
industries. Gandhidham was formed as a planned town to re-locate Sindhi migrants
from Pakistan and has flourished as a smallscale industrial centre supplying Kandla's
21

industries with ancillaries. Narayan Sarovar & Koteshwar are the famous pilgrimage
places.

MAJOR INDUSTRIES
Salt Industry
In spite of several odds, the social economic factors have stimulated the
growth and development of various need based industries in India since independence,
the salt is one of them. Salt is one of the major food items for human being and important
raw material which has played a very significant role in the industrial development. It is
basic raw material for the production of heavy chemicals such as soda ash, caustics soda,
chlorine, sodium metal, and hydrochloric acid etc. which in turn are required by a large
number of industries.
Besides, salt is also used for fish curing and tanning of hides and skins, water
softening, salting out of soap, or dressing and food preservation. Having realized the
important of salt, appropriate and expeditious have been taken by the government of
India to boost salt production in the country. The edible salt requirements are normally
calculated @ 6 Kg. per capita, per annum.
37

Kutch district is the highest salt producing district in Gujarat and probably the
same is at the national level. Most of the factors relative to salt production are favorable
in the district. Salt is manufactured by solar evaporation of sea water and subsoil brines.
The rapid expansion of salt industry in Kutch is due to suitable climatic conditions, low
rainfalls, long period of dry weather, fairly high temperature, good wind velocity, suitable
soil conditions and abundance quality of raw materials.
It has the longest sea shore in the country and there is no river to dilute the sea
water. Therefore the good quality of sea water is available through out the district. In
certain areas high degree subsoil brine is available.
At present, Gujarat is on the top of salt producing state, contributing about 70 %
of the total salt production and out of which 40% is being produced in Kutch region.
There are potential for development of salt industry as well as salt based allied industries
in the district. The salt industry has received due weighted with the induction of goiter
control program. It was decided to complete iodization of entire edible salt in the country.
The salt industry of Kutch region has responded positively to this challenge.
Approximately there are 100 salt plants are available in district, among them 15 to
20 has invested more then Rs.50 corers, other plants are either small units or medium
units. Major salt industries are Ankur Chemfood Products(Guj) Ltd., Wellbrines
Chemicals Ltd., Indobrine Industries Ltd., Laxmi Salt and Chemical Works Ltd., Friends
and Friends Group, Avni Salt Suppliers, Stayam Rasayan Pvt. Ltd. etc.
Minerals
Kutch district has a very significant contribution in respect of sum of the very
important mineral production like lignite, silica sand, which clay, bauxite, china clay,
38

bentonite, etc. Kutch was brought under the world mineral map due to it’s number two
position in the availability of sodium based bentonite. The total mineral production in the
district was 1322 metric tone. In 1961 which has significantly increased about 31.60 lack
metric tone. There are possibilities to set up following industries based upon about
minerals.
1. Lignite:
The production of lignite is about 95% of total mineral production in
Kutch and there is an ample scope of using this as a raw material for setting up of power
plant in the region. These ample raw materials should be utilized as under:
• Pocketed deposits: Explore for fuel consumption
• Extensive deposits: For power production
Lignite deposits are found in the western part of Kutch and strategically, it would
be advantageous from the security point of view to locate power production units so as to
curb the anti national activities and increase the population by creating more employment
opportunities. The transportation of lignite should be made to stop from the extensive
deposits so as to economically produced cheap power which could be transmitted instead
of raw lignite. The Gujarat mineral corporation may plant out a strategy for an efficient
use of huge deposits by way of partial privatization.
2. Limestone
The limestone is the key raw material for production of cements. This raw
material production was about 3000mt in costal areas of Kutch. It has been also
named as costal wealth of Kutch. The entire cement requirement of Gulf countries
could be made by 7000million mt. of limestone deposits available in western Kutch.
3. Bauxite
It is a metallic mineral and it’s production is around 33000mt. during 95-
96 a large size alluminium plant could be established in the region for making use of
39

bauxite. This will create more employment and improve social economic status of the
people.
4. Bentonite
It has a very good export market. This is a mineral which has brought
kutch on the world mineral map. Sodium based bentonite is used in steel plant, oil
exploration, medicines etc. the royalty charged on bentonite by the government of
Gujarat is very high as compared to other states and this has affected the export of
bentonite.f trhe benotnite cn be given value addition by manufacturing following
products:
• Activation of bentonite
• Organoclays
5. Silica sand
It is a mineral of 21st century and ample scope exists for the development of Silica
based industries. There is a scope to established glass and ceramic industries in
Kutch.
Other minerals available in Kutch are China clay, White clay, Red/yellow oxide,
Gypsum, Siderites, Fire clay, Sand stone, Akik, Fullurs earth, etc.
Other industries in Kutch district which were already established before any
incentive scheme declared by government are , Wooden Industry , Handy Craft
Industry etc.
40

THERMAL POWER PLANT:
Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC):
The Akri-Mota thermal power plant in Kutch
With accelerating industrialization, the demand of power in Gujarat also has been
increasing. The State Government, therefore, concluded that having established nearly
1000 million tones of lignite deposits at different locations in the State, lignite based
power production should be pursued in the State. Three large pit head lignite based power
stations are under implementation, one of which is being implemented by GMDC. Based
on lignite available at Panandhro and Akrimota in Lakhpat Taluka of Kutch district, the
41

Corporation is setting up a 250 MW power station at Village Chher Nani in the district.
This project is already under implementation and the project will be further expanded to
500 MW thereafter.
Lignite has several uses -- it is used in power generation, as a solid fuel by
briquette and carbonization with chemical by-products. It is also used as a feedstock for
making urea and methanol. It finds application in chemical and metallurgical industries
as coke. Raw lignite is used in cement and other industries. It is estimated that demand
from the power, textiles, chemicals and cement sectors, which are the major users of
lignite, will be around 54 metric tones by the turn of the century.
Expansion plans:-
The power project: GMDC has drawn up a forward integration programme. It
plans to set up two 125 MW lignite based power project in Kutch near Panandhro (where
its lignite mine is). The proposed project will cost Rs. 11.74 billion (including an
estimated Rs 2.1 billion for interest during construction) and is proposed to be financed
up to 70 per cent by term loans. The remaining will be generated as internal accruals.
All clearances including from Ministry of Environment and Forest, all other
clearances have been received. A part of the land has been acquired and acquisition of the
balance land, which is waste land is under progress. Global tenders for the main plant and
equipment have been invited and received. The project will be completed 38 months from
the placement of orders of plant and machinery. Not only would this project reduce the
company's debtors, it would also provide a tax holiday for five years.
The alumina project: Nearly 90 mt. of bauxite reserves are available in Kutch,
Jamnagar and Junagadh districts. Most of this is low grade bauxite which has to be mined
out in order to produce the high grade bauxite. This low grade bauxite has no other
economic use and has to be accumulated as dead inventory.
The company has therefore planned to set up a 0.75 mt alumina project to convert
this low grade bauxite into alumina. GMDC is also a co-promoter in Gujarat Alumina
42

and Bauxite, a 0.75 million tones alumina project at a cost of Rs 19.8 billion. GMDC will
contribute six per cent of the Rs.720 crore equity while the rest will be funded by the
joint venture partners, Gujarat Alkalis and Raytheon, USA. The project will be sourcing
its lignite from the company.
The lignite project: The company plans to commence operations at Mata no
Madh deposits so that the lignite of Panandhro can be kept in reserve for the Gujarat
Electricity Board power project. The preliminary work of overburden removal has
already commenced. Another lignite deposit at Umarsar, north of Panandhro is also being
developed.
Another power plant will be start by Adani Group at Mundra. They are planning
for 500 MW power project. Currently their Project has approved now they will start their
work as soon as possible.
EDIBLE OIL REFINARIES:
The district of Kutch is witnessing a spurt of investment in edible oil refineries.
With as many as 10 edible oil refineries, some of them by global giants, Kutch is all set to
emerge as the edible oil refining capital of India.
India annually consumes about 115 lakh tones of edible oil. While it refines
around 60 to 65 lakh tones domestically, it imports the rest to meet its requirement. This
gap is now likely to come down dramatically by early next year. Spurred by the excise
waiver announced by the Centre after the quake in 2000, the district of Kutch is fast
emerging as the edible oil refining capital of the country. As many as 10 companies,
including Cargill, Adani-Wilmar, Gujarat Ambuja Limited, Ruchi Soya and Gokul are
investing over Rs 500 crore (Rs 5 billion) in this district to set up their refineries.
For whoever is coming up in Kutch in Gandhidham or near to that area, there is a
possibility of a waiver of the excise duty which comes to around Rs 1,000 per tonne.
43

Proximity to the port of Kandla accounts for about 60% of the total edible crude
oil import into the country and cheaper transport available to North India are acting as
catalysts to this boom. This spurt in the edible oil business has now brought smiles to
those in Kutch.
The transport business, which is the back bone business in Kutch, will improve.
With that, the small hotelwallah, dhabawallah, the petrol pumps, the garagewallah will all
benefit, so this will strengthen the whole economy of Kutch."
With the deadline for seeking excise waiver nearing an end, the people of Kutch
now want the Centre to extend this benefit further.
Riding high on tax benefits, a large number of edible oil refineries have set up
their base in this district. Now if the government does decide to extend the benefit by two
more years, it would surely bring in more investment.
Most of the large units are advisedly coming up near port cities and towns so as to
enjoy logistics and location advantage. Port-based units will be able to save on transport
cost. There is increasing realization that the country will continue to be dependent on
import of oils for a significant portion of the consumption requirement in the foreseeable
future. Interestingly, these investments postulate that the government will continue to
impose lower rate of customs duty on crude oils vis-à-vis refined oils. Also, with
economic growth and increasing incomes, the market for refined oils is bound to expand
as evidenced by developments of last few years.
The Kutch district of Gujarat is all set to emerge as the edible oil refining nerve
centre of India over the next few months.
As per the present schedule, the desert outpost will boast of an annual edible oil
refining capacity to the tune of 23.75 lakh during the next fiscal. This would mean that
almost 37 per cent of the entire country's consumption, at 65 lakh tones, would be
generated from Kutch.
44

At Rs 50,000 per tone, this would translate into an annual turnover of Rs 11,875
crore for this district that was ravaged by the killer quake less than three years ago.
Excise duty exemption granted to units set up in Kutch region of Gujarat is surely
contributing to distortion of the industry and trade in edible oils. Already, there is
tremendous over-capacity in the refining industry. Setting up massive refining units in
Kutch is a wasteful deployment of scarce capital resources particularly when the overall
capacity utilization of the industry is not very high.
No one ventured to set up an edible oil refining unit in Kutch for almost two years
despite fiscal concessions announced. It was only after imposition of excise duty on the
manufacture of refined oils on February 28, 2003 that some players hit upon the brilliant
idea and started to set up refining units to benefit from the 5-year tax-holiday.
Exemption from excise duty would have been perfectly justified had excise duty
been leviable on refined oils on the day the excise duty exemption was announced; but
that was not the case. Obviously, there is a case for reviewing the excise duty exemption
being enjoyed by newly built refineries in Kutch.
Competition within the State has intensified as units located even a couple of
hundred kilometers away have to pay excise duty of Rs 1,000 a tones, making their
products so much more expensive. The distortion generated by the grant of unwarranted
duty exemption forces other players in the marketplace to explore ways and means of
cutting corners.
With the new industrial policy of the Gujarat Government offering an excise duty
holiday for five days, the major players in the edible oil refining business have only till
June 30, 2004 to put up their refineries and climb on to the duty waiver bandwagon.
Come June 2004 as many as six new big refineries would be up and running in
and around Gandhidham in Kutch and this will see an additional refining capacity of
6,200 tones per day getting created in a single district in India. Some of the big players
that are creating new refining facilities include Cargill India with its Nature Fresh brand,
45

Parakh Foods (Gemini), Ruchi Industries (Ruchi) and Param Industries (Mahakosh), each
one coming up with 1,000 tpd refineries. The one other certainty is Gokul RefOil
(Gokul), whose refinery is the smallest of the lot at 800 tpd.
Over and above the six committed players there were a few more companies that
were mulling entry into the refinery business in Kutch, he said.
What is currently happening in Kutch is quite historic as an annual excise duty
waiver of some Rs 237.5 crore is creating a massive refining base in the country. While
the five-year duty sop will cost the Government Rs 1,187 crore in entirety, the net gain
would come by way of Rs 11,875 crore each year from refined oil business, per se.
Against this, the capital investment for each refinery may be anywhere between Rs 50
crore and Rs 90 crore. It was Adani Wilmar that set the trend of setting support-based
refineries in India with the 600 tpd refinery at Mundra, action soon shifted to other port
towns like Kakinada, Mangalore, Chennai and Haldia. It took only a couple of years for
Kakinada to emerge as the edible oil powerhouse of the country with refining capacity of
around 2,400 tpd.
Clearly, the process of a shift in balance in the edible oil refining business has
been set in motion and there is no denying Kutch the laurel of industry hub any more.
The new business should give that vital spark to the desert district's economy that was
hitherto missing. And there would be host of other businesses that would get going in a
big way in the next few months as is borne by the projected requirement for oil tankers
which is put at an additional 720 trucks per day.
Small and medium-sized edible oil refineries across western and northern States
are rather upset with the rapid setting up of massive refining capacities in the Kutch
region of Gujarat. They apprehend a significant loss of investment apart from loss of
business and employment.
The association has argued that the new refineries are all automated and would
not create employment in any significant numbers. Also, as these units are located near
46

the port of Kandla, they would naturally be dependent on imported vegetable oils for
their raw material needs, thereby denying an outlet for indigenous oils.
The rate of excise duty on manufacture of refined oils is Rs 1,000 per tone
equivalent to Re 1 per kg and on vanaspati Rs 1,250 a tonne or Rs 1.25/kg. This was
levied in the last Union Budget announced on February 28, 2003. The association has
charged that grant of excise duty exemption for such port-based units have gone against
the interest of farmers and domestic producers.

4) ADANI WILMAR LTD.
"Globally competitive India focused MNC, with leadership in edible oil business,
providing branded products & services, to the delight of customers & stock holders."
Adani Wilmar Ltd. a joint venture between two global corporations......
The Rs. 3500/- crore, Adani group of India - the leaders in international trading &
private infrastructure, and The US$ 2.5 billion Wilmar Holdings Pte.Ltd. of Singapore -
one of the Asia's largest players in trading & procession of edible oils.
Together, they have built India's largest & most sophisticated oil refinery located
at Mundra in Dist. of Kutch, Gujarat-India, 10 kms. away from Mundra port. The refining
capacity is of 600 TDP of edible oil & 100 TDP of vanaspati. The plant receives
technical assistance from Archer Daniel Midlands Co. of US which is a share holder in
Wilmar.
· Various crude oils such as Soya bean, Sunflowers seed, Cotton seed, Palmonein
are sourced from countries like Malaysia, Brazil, Canada, Indonesia, Argentina,
USA, etc. & even locally from Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat & Rajasthan.
· Backed by the Mundra Port's huge storage facilities and the group's vast dealer
network & marketing channel, Adani Wilmar Ltd. is able to provide its premium
range of Fortune edible oils across the country as per the taste of customers &
has been striving hard continuously to maintain the company's vision.
· AWL’s flagship brand Fortune has set a scorching pace in the Indian edible oil
market. It is ranked 30th among the top 50 FMCG brands. A commendable
achievement for a brand which is just 3 years old.
51

Future Expansion Projects
· The Rs 1,250-crore Adani Wilmar Ltd (AWL), the 50:50 joint venture between
Adani Exports Ltd and the Singapore-based Wilmar Trading Pte Ltd, has
undertaken a massive capacity expansion project for its 950-tpd edible oils
refinery at Mundra. Originally set up as a 600-tpd refinery, this unit is set to touch
a refining capacity of 2,000 tpd over the next six months, by February 2004.
· The capital cost for the doubling of refinery capacity has been put at Rs 80 crore.
Currently, AWL imports crude edible oil to the tune of 25,000 tonnes per month
from Brazil and Argentina. Once the additional refining capacity is put in place,
the crude import is set to touch 55,000 tonnes per month.
· The 1,050-tpd-refinery expansion is coming by way of a stand-alone plant at a
location adjoining the existing refinery at Mundra.
· The setting up of the separate unit has been fashioned largely by the tax breaks —
both excise and sales tax — that are on offer from the Gujarat Government in
Kutch, as part of its earthquake rehabilitation programme.
· According to company sources, work on the capacity expansion drive is well
under way with the placement of orders for plant machinery such as boilers
having already been placed. While the decision to go in for the additional refining
capacity has been centred around the success of its Fortune brand edible oil,
Adani Wilmar is also toying with the idea of exporting the refined oil to nearby
countries come 2004.
· The Fortune branded edible oil from AWL is the market leader in the soya oil
segment with 48 per cent market share just as its overall market share among
branded edible oils have been hovering around 15 to 17 per cent.
52

· It is AWL's hope that the augmentation of refining capacity would help it reach
25 per cent of the all-India edible oil pie during the next fiscal.
· Earlier, in 2002, the company was planning to double the then existing capacity of
the refinery at 600 tpd to 1,200 tpd at a capital outlay of Rs 95 crore.
· At that time, it was also planning to put up a refinery at Kakinada to cater to the
southern and eastern domestic markets. However, the Adani group shelved its
Kakinada plans though its partner, Wilmar Trading decided to go ahead with the
project.
