2.4 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE
Anthea has developed world-class processes for the manufacture of 1,2
methylenedioxybenzene and Piperonal in their in-house R&D.
Piperonal is used in the F&F industry and also has increased usage in the manufacture
of pharmaceutically active molecules. The proposed process to manufacture Piperonal
uses Catechol as raw material and is a substitute for Piperonal manufactured from
Sassafras Oil, which has led to expensive deforestation of the Sassafras tree in Brazil,
China and South East Asia.
Anthea has filed patent applications for the route to manufacture
1,2methylenedioxybenzene and Piperonal with the Indian Patent Office and under the
Patent Cooperation Treaty.
Piperonyl Butoxide is a very important speciality chemical used world-wide as an
insecticide synergist. The use of this chemical is expected to grow with the increasing
use of insecticides in India and other developing economies. Anthea is currently in
the process of developing a synthetic route to manufacture Piperonyl Butoxide from
1,2-methylenedioxybenzene.
Both MDB and Piperonal are also used as starting materials to manufacture other
high value speciality chemicals used in F&F, pharmaceutical, agrochemical and other
industries.
The proposed project will set up manufacturing capacities of these speciality
chemicals on a global scale to cater to the increasing demand for these speciality
chemicals.It will create a world class facility on par with well-established
organizations.
It will also generate direct and indirect employment opportunities to various levels of
people on the basis of skills.
Pre- Feasibility report

2.5 DEMAND – SUPPLY GAP
The demand for the proposed speciality chemicals is expected to see significantly
increased usage in the coming years in the emerging markets, due to rising incomes
and improved quality of life. The project also envisages gaining market share against
existing European and Asian manufacturers.
2.6 IMPORT V/S INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION
Most of these speciality chemicals are currently being imported into the country and
therefore the project will provide significant import-substitute benefits.
The major starting raw material is Catechol. Catechol maybe indigenously procured
or may be imported. The Company is looking at entering into a long term agreement
with a major manufacturer of Catechol in order to get a favourable sourcing of
Catechol and improve long-term competitiveness.
2.7 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION DUE TO THE PROJECT
The proposed project is expected to provide employment to about 30 staff, 150 skilled
workers and 65 unskilled workers for Speciality Chemicals unit during its operation
phase as per the prevailing norms of state government for skilled and non-skilled
workers. During construction phase, the manpower required will be around 250
workers and they will be employed locally from the nearby area.

vicinity as most of the skilled workers prefer to stay in the nearby locations to avoid
travelling from long distances. However semi-skilled and indirect employment
potential is from local villages. Hence, there is a possibility of increase in population
of the skilled and semi-skilled. The local villagers will be preferred for the unskilled
jobs such as gardening, movement of materials, etc. Educated youth will be employed
as skilled and semi-skilled workers. However, on the whole there is a possibility of a
slight increase in population of the area.
5.3 LAND USE PLANNING
The total site area is 10.0 acres. The built up area accounts to 41,200 Sq.meters. The
green belt area occupies about 6,000 Sq.meters. The land break up details are
presented in the Table 5-1
