3. Brief description of nature of the project:

M/s. Rosso Laminates LLP is proposing to manufacture Melamine Formaldehyde Resin,

Phenol Formaldehyde Resin and Urea Formaldehyde Resin at Survey No 55 Paiki 1/Paiki

2, 55 Paiki 3, Opposite of Ashwamegh Hotel, NH-8A, At. Timbadi, Morbi-363642, Gujarat.

Proposed products will be used for manufacturing of Laminated sheets.

The proposed products like Melamine Formaldehyde Resin, Phenol Formaldehyde Resin

and Urea Formaldehyde Resin falls under Category 5(f) as stated in Environment Impact

Assessment Notification Published on 14th September, 2006. Further, the location of the

proposed project is outside the notified industrial estate and it also not fall into small

scale unit criteria described in EIA notification 25th June 2014. Hence, the project

proponent has to obtain the EC from the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate

Change, New Delhi. M/s. T. R. Associates has been appointed to carry out EIA/EMP

studies for obtaining Environmental Clearance.

The total land area of company is 14,569 m2 out of which 4807 m2 (33 % of total land) area will be used for greenbelt development. The estimated cost of the proposed Resin project will be 85 Lakhs. Total budget allocation towards Environmental Management Facilities will be approx. Rs. 40 Lakhs. Total 9 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:

Formaldehyde (37%) is used as raw material for resins, adhesive manufacturing. Resins are used predominantly in the wood products industry as adhesives. 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.

The proposed products like Resins (Melamine Formaldehyde ,Phenol Formaldehyde and Urea Formaldehyde) mainly used to produce Electrical Insulation Board and H.P. Decorative Laminated Sheets. These sheets have good market demand to develop the home and office for furniture.

Demand-Supply Gap:

The average production of laminated sheets has crossed approximately 130 million sheets inclusive of all thicknesses but the gap between installed capacity and demand is growing bigger. During FY 2011-2012 phases that gap narrowed with sudden demand in lower thickness segment but later capacities came in place and the laminated sheets market became a pressure driven market. It is caution for any new comer that if he enters, he should be prepared for "More investments, more efforts and a long wait for margins".

The burgeoning market demands of urban and semi-urban India are estimated at Rs 5,00,000 Crore. The demand-supply gap has already attracted foreign players to India; and the e-retailing boom offers immense business opportunities. But a more 15% of India's woodworking industry is organized. Its semi-skilled carpenters, self-styled interior decorators and small-scale local manufacturers will need to be trained and organized to meet future market demands and exploit business opportunities.

Imports v/s Indigenous production:

Indian market is open and big that is why every kind of import is booming. Indian plywood and panel trade has become global place as the consumption of different imported ply panels are on the rise. Unlike before Indians are now welcomed by plywood manufacturer of China. Earlier India was a self dependent country for commercial or high quality plywood, but sharp drop in domestic manufacturing output has resulted in material sourcing from countries like Burma, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Vietnam etc. Now Indian plywood market is somehow curtailed or competed by incoming panel products from China. Be it film face, decorative, laminate or MR plywood everything is now being imported partially or more and is sold. Indian industrialist must understand the fact that its no more a regional shift, it is a global shift. Indian technology should be upgraded and updated as per with international standards.

The working environment in India has changed tremendously. Earlier the trade fairs were hardly participated by foreign timber, lumber and plywood manufacturing companies where as now it is flooded with global suppliers.

Export Possibility:

There is only market of Resins in local market. Resins are intermediate products for manufacturing of Laminated Sheets. Resins are quite expensive for export. So we have only local market for sale.
