Oil Field Equipment

The petroleum industry in India is undergoing a major change. With the ongoing process of liberalisation, the industry has been thrown open for private sector in all major areas of exploration, production, refining and marketing, and this has resulted in increased demand for the oil field and related equipments.

Domestic production covers mainly the onshore drilling equipment. Under Offshore drilling, only offshore platforms and some other technological structures are being produced locally. The major producers of these equipments are BHEL, Hindustan Shipyard,Mazagon Dock and Larsen & Toubro.

This industry is also de-licensed and foreign direct investment (FDI) upto 100 per cent,under automatic route as well as technology collaboration,is allowed freely. Import of old and new machineries too is allowed freely.

Dairy Machinery

At present there are around 20 units in the organized sector, both in private and public sector, manufacturing Dairy Machinery equipments such as evaporators, milk refrigerators and storage tanks, milk and cream deodorizers, centrifuges, clarifiers, agitators, homogenisers, spray dryers and heat exchangers. Small Scale units are also contributing to indigenous production. The spray dryers, plate type heat exchanger and other core equipments for milk powder plant call for a high degree of polish requirement on the equipments because the presence of any micro crevices resulting from inadequate polish tends to be the incubation and breeding ground for the bacteria.

This industry is also de-licensed and foreign direct investment (FDI) upto 100 per cent,under automatic route as well as technology collaboration,is allowed freely. Import of old and new machineries too is allowed freely.
