Mr Jasu ShahFounder & Chairman, CHEMTECH Foundation

“CHEMTECH Foundation has always been

fortunate to receive support from wonderful

leaders from India and abroad. We are very

thankful to DECHEMA and VDMA of Germany

which have supported the foundation

throughout its journey on strengthening the

business relations between Germany and India.

Further, the response from stalwarts of Indian

chemical industry has also been overwhelming.”

Mr Suresh PrabhuFormer Union Minister, Govt. of India & Global Brand Ambassador ChemTECH World Expo 2013

“Chemtech is a significant event for Indian

process industry. Chemtech Foundation is one

of the few organisations that have been able to

organise such a big event consistently for years.

I sincerely appreciate the efforts of Mr Shah

who succeeded in bringing leaders from India

and abroad under one roof to ensure growth of

chemical industry in the country.”

Mr Richard ClemensManaging Director, VDMA, Germany

“Management of large EPC projects is complex

and the complexities have grown over the

years. Over the last years, the numbers of

EPC projects has increased substantially,

particularly in the new mega projects in the

gulf regions that have added the complexities

of the task of major EPC companies.”

Smt Deepa DasmunshiHonourable Minister of State for Urban Development, Government of India.

“Water is undoubtedly a crucial component for

both industrial and human development. This is

the reason, since independence, the Government

of India has put lot of emphasis on to strengthen

the availability of water for all. However, as the

fact remains, a large portion of rural India is still

deprived of pure drinking water.”

Mr B NarayanGroup President (Procurement & Projects), RIL; & Chairman, EPC World Expo 2013

“There will be tremendous scope for Engineering,

Procurement and Construction (EPC) sector

in India, enabling the sustainable growth

of process industry. Indian EPC sector has

tremendous capabilities, but there is lot of

scope for improvement, particularly in terms of

timely project execution and optimisation of

communication software and processes.”

Mr A K PurwahaChairman & Managing Director, Engineers India Ltd (EIL)

“At the crossroads, where the nation stands

today, nothing is more important than building

a robust infrastructure. The 12th Five-Year Plan

envisages ivestments to the tune of USD 1 trillion

across roads, railways, airports, shipping, energy

& hydrocarbon sectors which will propel the

growth of the country in coming years.”

Mr Sudhir VasudevaChairman & Managing Director, ONGC Limited

“By 2020, India will witness a burgeoning gap in

demand and supply of oil and gas. It is expected

that the production of oil will be approximately

61 million tonne while the demand level may

touch 370 million tonne and above. Similarly

the gas production will rise 170 million cubic

meters of gas per day, while the demand level is

predicted to touch 606 million cubic meters of

gas per day. India faces an uphill task to meet

the demand in next decade.”

Mr Maulik JasubhaiGroup CEO, Jasubhai Group & CHEMTECH Foundation

“Chemtech would have not been able to

organise the series of conferences and

exhibitions without the support of its

advisory board members and industry

leaders who have supported the vision since

its inception.”

Engineering Opportunities – Emerging Technologies

Mr Shiva ShuklaManaging Director & CEO Abengoa Solar India

“Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) has several

fundamental advantages over other renewables

Energy. CSP is a mature and commercially viable

technology and has got high cost reduction

potential. It is dispatchable renewable energy

source, allows hybridisation with conventional

power possibility and ensures energy security.”

Mr K S RaoVice President, Reliance Industries Ltd

“An integrated engineering approach for

development of Coal Bed Methane (CBM) fields

is being pursued only recently as can be seen

in the on-going Australian CBM Projects. Older

CBM field developments did not adopt a similar

holistic design approach and consequently

those projects have seen increased need for

debottlenecking. The benefits of such an

integrated approach are huge in terms of cost

reduction, efficient field development plan and

ease of operation and maintenance.”

Mr V K JoshiGeneral Manager (Sales), ThyssenKrupp Uhde

“Gasification is a proven technology; a vast

number of gasifiers are operating since

decades successfully on commercial basis. The

technology allows flexibility of feedstock and

polygeneration of products. It is an environment

friendly technology.“

Ms Suhani JhanwarTechnical Professional – Process, KBR Technology

“The objective of almost all the refineries of the

world is to change carbon to hydrogen ratio. All

the refineries take high carbon containing, low

hydrogen containing crude and they process

into high hydrogen and low carbon containing

products. And the only way to mathematically

change this ratio is to either add hydrogen or to

reject carbon.”

(From L to R): Dr J Mounton, Business Development Director, Sasol (I) Pvt Ltd; Mr S Karkare, AVP – Projects & Procurement, RIL; Mr C M Venkateswaran, CEO, Aker Powergas Subsea Pvt Ltd; Mr Shailen Ruparel, Director – Sales, Fluor Daniel (I) Pvt Ltd; Mr Harry Breijaert, VP – Global Supply Management, Jacobs Engineering; and Mr Bhargav Khaund, BDM, Sasol BCS India Commercial share the dais during EPC Conference 2013.

Construction – Advanced Techniques

Dr Reinhart VogelManaging Director, Linde Engineering India Pvt Limited

“For quite long, construction techniques have

been underestimated for successful execution

of an EPC project. We have to recognise that

construction plays a major role in success of

any project. Also, safety is of prime importance,

and contactors in India need to pay much

more attention on safety and training aspects

at the construction sites.”

Mr Zafar KhanGroup Head, HSSE Leighton Welspun Contactors Pvt Ltd

“The principal hazards at refineries are fire

and explosion. Refineries process multitude

of products with low flash points. Although,

systems and operating practices are designed

to prevent such catastrophes, the risks run very

high in the refineries.”

Mr C S RaoManager, Regional Construction, Praxair India

“Since our labour is not trained, our schedule

is never maintained. We should have proper

facilities to train our employees those working

on sites and ensure adherence to safety norms

through appropriate on-site training.”

Mr Rajeev KumarJoint General Manager - Projects, Larsen & Toubro

“Project managemnet team highlights

the critical issues of EPC project which are

documented in form of actions & commitments

and reviewed during subsequent meetings.

Work pack is an element of WBS based

primarily on discipline , which is used to focus

on construction efforts based on the predefined

priorities of WBSs and can be exclusively

monitored, resourced and executed until the

progress has advanced sufficiently to shift the

focus to systems completion.”

Supply Chain Management – New TrendsMr C M VenkateshwaranCEO, Aker Powergas Subsea Pvt Ltd

“When you talk about the subject of EPC, the

mention of supply chain management and

supply chain management strategies are

absolutely imperative. And it plays an important

role in any EPC project. Companies are

becoming more proactive and focusing issues

such as value than just cost.”

Mr Harry BreijaertVP – Global Supply Management, Jacobs Engineering

“The capacities and capabilities of Indian

companies have increased dramatically over

the last 10 years, and India has got several

advantages over China which include strong

engineering capabilities, vast number of English

speaking professionals and above all producing

finest engineers serving the industry globally.”

Dr Jacques MountonBusiness Development Director Sasol India Private Limited

“There is strong competitiveness among the

industries in India. Some have become best in

class in the world in size, scale, efficiency, service

levels etc. However many companies still show

a lack of planning and demonstration of eye for

details – requires meticulous follow ups.”

Mr Shailen RuparelDirector Sales, Fluor Daniel India Pvt Ltd

“Risk management will become an embedded part of supply management, and continuous improvement of these capabilities

will be a major corporate priority model to an enterprise-wide excellence model. Effective risk management strategies will help

achieve a competitive advantage rather than simply providing a defence against unwanted events.”

Mr Bhargav KhaundBusiness Development Manager, Sasol BCS India Commercial

“Best country sourcing is a structured approach

to global sourcing of capital and maintenance

replacement material & equipment and

eventually services from markets that offer the

best value.”

Project Management

Mr B K DuttaDirector, Refi neries, BPCL

“Three things are really very disturbing when it

comes to project execution in India – delayed

project time, cost overrun and quality lapse.”

Mr C J ParekhDirector In-charge Projects, Toyo Engineering

“Delay in delivery of FIM / critical equipment has

cascading effect on project schedule and cost.

Lack of commitments to schedule, quality by

vendors, delay in handing over of construction

site by the owner and insufficient laydown areas

for construction are some of the challenges that

EPC sector faces today. High attrition rate of

experienced engineers also adds to the woes.”

Mr Vijay PranjapeManaging Director, Jacobs Engineering India Pvt Limited

“In the last five years, as the data suggests, as

much as 95 to 99 projects have been delayed.

Some projects even operate with a time delay of

185 per cent.”

Mr Stephane JuilletHead of Risk Management Dept, Technip France

“Holistic approach towards risk management

process would be whereby responses to the risks

are formulated, justified, planned, initiated,

progressed, monitored, measured for success,

reviewed, adjusted and closed.”

Mr S K ShirguppiGroup Director, Engineering Design and Technology Business, Rolta India Limited

“The user industry is changing and demands

new technologies and tools for optimising

performance. Ideally, it is essential for all of us as

the EPC industry to manage the lifecycle cost of

the projects right from the time of the beginning

of the project.”

Mr Kancherla UmamaheswararaoDirector Technical, Intergraph Consulting

“For an owner or operator, delivery of CAPEX

projects to budget/schedule and safe, efficient

production and operation are the most

important. So, for neither the EPC contractor nor

the owner the engineering stage of a project is

seen as the most important; what they want is

better procurement & construction information,

efficient operations and maintenance.”

Investment Opportunities

Mr P D SamudraExecutive Director – Sales & Member of the Board, Uhde India & Sr VP - Business Development, ThyssenKrupp Uhde for India & MENA

“As India is being professed as a superpower

in 2050, the country will have to increase

capacities across the core sectors of Oil & Gas,

Refining, Chemicals & Petrochemicals, Steel,

Power and Paper & Pulp etc.”

Mr Sanjeev ShahGeneral Manager - Projects, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd

“India will be offered immense investment

opportunities in Petrochemical Industry in the

years to come. However, this will mandate the

need for the manufacturers to adopt global

benchmarks in improving efficiencies in

production as well as supply chains.”

Mr Piyush TaliwalSr Manager – IEA and Capital Investment, Lanxess India

“Lanxess has made significant investments in

large on specialty chemicals at production sites

in Gujarat and has set up Greenfield capacity

with over ` 500 crore investment and Brownfield

project in Madhya Pradesh with investments of

` 584 crore.”

Mr Ravindra SinghDirector Technical, Petronet LNG Limited

“Current demand-supply scenario of LNG in

India makes for a good business case for setting

up LNG terminals, even with all the announced

terminals coming on stream in future. Huge

demand-supply gap is expected to go forward

indicating scope for more LNG terminals.”

Mr C M T BrittoDirector - Technical, Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers

“With the announcement of new investment

policy, a string of new large sized fertiliser

plants, will see the light of the day. Sudden spurt

in project activity is likely to overburden the

equipment manufacturers. European countries,

because of their low order book are likely to pose

fierce competition to Indian industry.”

Mr P PadmanabhamED - Petrochemical, BPCL

“On average over the medium term, petrochemical

offers higher profitability than fuels only refinery.

Combined refinery-petrochemical complexes can

be best option for global competitive advantage

and low cost feedstock from refinery leads to better

synergies and value addition.”

PANEL DISCUSSION: EPC - A New Era Towards Sustainable Growth

Panelists for EPC Conference 2013 (from L to R): Dr A K Balyan, CMD, Petronet LNG; Mr B Narayan, Group President (Procurement & Projects), RIL; Mr Vikram Oza, Sr Editor, Bloomberg TV, India; Mr Alwyn Bowden, CEO & MD, Essar Project (India) Ltd and Dr Benno Lueke, MD, Uhde India Private Limited & CEO, ThyssenKrupp Uhde Cluster for India, Middle East & Egypt.

Dr Benno LuekeManaging Director, Uhde India Private Limited & CEO, ThyssenKrupp Uhde Cluster for India, Middle East & Egypt

“So far, we acted locally with the Indian

people only, but now we have started bringing

international talent not only from the parent

company in Germany but from across the globe

to improve our talent pool.”

Mr B NarayanGroup President (Procurement & Projects), RIL

“The players are more of the E&P contractors with

limited capabilities to undertake the risks and

provide reliabilities for such large scale projects.”

Dr A K BalyanChairman & Managing Director, Petronet LNG

“Considering the burgeoning requirement of

energy sector in India, the gas business sector

is going to provide tremendous business

opportunities to the EPC players.”

Mr Alwyn BowdenCEO & Managing Director, Essar Project (India) Ltd

“Very few Indian E&P contractors, with the

existing equipment building capabilities, have

made the leap and become EPC contractors

through investment in new technologies.”

Eminent industry stalwarts viz. Mr B Narayan,

Group President (Procurement & Projects), RIL; Dr A

K Balyan, Chairman & Managing Director, Petronet

LNG; Dr Benno Lueke, Managing Director, Uhde

India Private Limited & CEO, ThyssenKrupp Uhde

Cluster for India, Middle East & Egypt and Mr Alwyn

Bowden, CEO & Managing Director, Essar Project

(India) Ltd argued over the traditional approach

of splitting the project in E-P & C followed in India

during the panel discussion at EPC World Expo

2013, organised by CHEMTECH Foundation.

Predicted future investment in the Indian chemical

and petrochemical sector will create huge demand

for capable EPC companies in the country. However,

as the fact remains, Indian EPC companies are not

seen as capable partners for many and a lot of

foreign players are likely to be benefited.

The discussion focused on the scope for EPC

players, their risk taking capabilities, challenges in

the industry, characteristics of different types of

project execution methodologies, etc.

INAUGURATION OF ChemPetro + IAC WORLD EXPO 2013

Mr K P Nanavaty President- Strategy Development, RIL and Chairman ChemPetro World Expo 2013

“In the best case scenario, the Indian chemical

industry can grow at 11 per cent per annum

and reach the size of almost USD 224 billion

by 2017. I am extremely grateful to Chemtech

for giving me the opportunity to share my

thoughts on the optimistic scenario of the

Indian chemical industry.”

Mr B R Mehta Sr Vice President, Reliance Industries Ltd & Head Technical Committee IAC World Expo 2013

include visibility to the result of actions,

transparency into profitability, accountability for

performance improvement, agility to respond to

rapid fluctuations , environmental sustainability

& utilisation of water in the country.”

Mr Rajkumar GhoshDirector (Refi neries), IOCL & Chairman IAC World Expo 2013

“Automation should be implemented not only as

an improvement tool, but also as a culture. Gone

are the days when focus area of automation

was restricted to large manufacturing industries.

Now automation is gaining importance even in

the medium and small scale industries.”

Mr Peush MahajanDirector, Technical, EIL

“I thank Chemtech for inviting me to be a part

of this elite gathering. I expect the conference

to come out with the outcome – where,

when, how and to what extent should I use

automation - which is going to govern the

business for my organisation.”

Panel Discussion: Refinery Petchem Integration Mr Saikiran Krishna MurthyPartner, Mckinsey “The topic Refinery Petchem integration is

very close to my heart. There has been a lot of

discussion over the years as to why don’t we

have more investments particularly in India with

integrated sites. There are no majors in India

who have really made that investment.”

Mr Amit ChaturvediHead Cracker Business Group, Reliance Industries Ltd

“Integration of refinery with petrochemical units

offers huge potential to utilize off gases in most

efficient manner in any of the units. In fact using

refinery products as feedstock in downstream

petrochemical units can bring substantial

reduction in working capital.”

Mr Subhash SahniVice President, Triune Energy Services Pvt Ltd

“Profitabilities of both refineries and

petrochemicals is under severe pressure as

the refinery margins are suffering due to

global over capacities. Refiners are faced with

the challenge of investments to meet new

products’ quality and specifications.”

Mr Sanjay SharmaManaging Director- India, IHS Chemical

“If you look at the global trend in the

petrochemical Industry, there is definitely a

shift of demand from the developing to the

emerging economies.”

Olefins + AromaticsMr D P MisraAdvisor, Jindal Steel & Power Ltd

“The Indian petrochemical indutry is taking

strides with regards to olefins , but activity with

regard to aromatics is quiet low , which needs

to be given adequate attention for the holistic

growth of our downstream chemical industry.”

Mr Puneet PuriBusiness Development Executive, Lummus Technology Inc

“Fundamentally, there is huge disparity

between the prices of crude oil and natural

gas. Petrochemical manufacturers are relying

on gas as a feedstock due to its availability

in abundance at more competitive price in

comparison with crude oil .”

Mr Makarand DixitHead Marketing - Petrochemicals, ONGC Petro Additions Ltd (OPaL)

“Global ethylene demand and supply is projected to grow 4 per cent in projected period between 2012-17. Capacity to produce

wthylene is growing in tandem with the demand.”

Polymers & ElastomersMr S MitraExecutive Director - Petrochemicals, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd

“In India, current average petrochemical

consumption is much below the global average

and particularly polymers, which stands at

6-7 kg as compared to global average of 30 kg.”

Mr Virendra RathodHead Synthetic Rubber Business, Reliance Industries Ltd

“Elastomers find a wide range of applications,

but mainly it is for the tyre and the automobile

related applications. Nearly 60-70 per cent

of the elastomers are consumed by the tyre

industry and various components that go in

the automobile industry.”

Mr C PaparaoSr Exec VP - Polypropylene business, Reliance Industries Ltd

“The global Polypropylene demand is 200 million

tonnes and growing at 3.6 per cent in the last

5 years. China has the growth of 9.1 per cent,

South East Asia 5.2 per cent, Middle East 6.35 per

cent and India 7.3 per cent. In the last 5 years,

India has seen the highest growth of 12 per cent.”

Mr Rajesh DeshpandeGeneral Manager, Finolex Industries Ltd

“Economic recovery is supporting PVC demand

and global oversupply situation is thus

creating a more competitive international

market environment. This will force producers

to become more cost-effective by adopting

competitive technologies, which will help them

to produce PVC in a more efficient way.”

Base Chemicals + Specialty ChemicalsMr Saikiran Krishna MurthyPartner, Mckinsey

“Chemical industry has very successfully done

over the past few years on getting more and more

out of the same asset and get more and more

profitability out of the same sale. That has been

the magic of the industry’s performance in the

past 10 years. We have outperformed not just our

suppliers, but also our customers.”

Mr Viral VoraMarketing Manager - Fluropolymers, Arkema

“Corrosion resistance solutions will be a major

concern for the next 10 yrs or more. Corrosion

happens with failure as chemicals permeate

from one surface to another thus resulting in

component failure. Polymers which offer very low

permeability can significantly reduce the risk of

such failures.”

Mr Amol DesaiHead, Business Development (EPS), Supreme Petrochem Ltd

“If you look at the styrene monomer market in India last year, it was about 6 lakh metric tonnes, as against the world market of

about 300 lakh metric tonnes. The segment-wise distribution of the use of styrere in Polystyrene would be about 30,54000 tonnes

and EPS would be just 95,000 tonne.”

Mr Netrapal SinghSr Manager – Industry Solutions -Phoenix (Delhi)

“Wireless is no longer a mystery and is very well

being used across the globe. Industrial grade

trusted wireless technologies are available for

various applications & wireless systems provide

flexible communication for industrial needs.”

Mr Arasu ThanigaiBusiness Development Manager, Pepperl+Fuchs, Singapore

“Accidents in the industry happen either due to

improper selection of equipment, or improper

equipment installation despite the right

selection. Post installation, maintenance is very

critical aspect to maintain the safety in the

hazardous areas in industrial plants.”

Mr Harendra MistryDy General Manager – Instrumentation, Tecnimont ICB Pvt Ltd

“Foundation Fieldbus is a leading Fieldbus

market and as of today it is almost 74 per cent

of digital Fieldbus solution in the processing

industry. It provides operational improvement,

business benefits and brings substantial

reductions in the CAPEX , OPEX and overall cost.”

Industry AUTOMATION & Control WORLD EXPO 2013Automation – A Business EnablerAutomation solutions have witnessed paradigm

shift in the Indian market and it is not confined to

the large scale manufacturers anymore. Automation

is gaining importance even in the small and

medium scale manufacturers who are adopting

automation solutions to keep pace with the growing

competition in the market. The leaders from the

Automation industry and users from various verticals

of chemicals & petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals,

power, oil & gas and refining etc. converged during

two days of conference to exchange ideas on the

challenges in process control, on-going trends and

latest automation technologies.

Mr Rajkumar Ghosh, Director (Refineries), IOCL

and Chairman Industry Automation & Control World

Expo 2013 noted that real benefit of automation

is the visibility and control that it offers for the

business processes and enables moving to next

level of performance.

Mr Vikas AlmadiCEO, DEHN India Pvt Ltd

“The lightning can strike directly on the infrastructure, refineries, pipeline or transportation network or any industrial structure

or can have indirect effects. Some of the areas in India are highly prone to lightning and have more than 80 lightning strikes per

Asset ManagementMr Mukund V MavalankarDirector Technical, Bharat Forge Ltd

“The meaning of asset management has

changed over many years. Asset Management

is very important because it’s a system that

monitors and maintains assets for us for better

utilisation. These assets can be tangible

or intangible.”

Mr Arindam MazumdarEngineering Manager, Honeywell Process Solutions India

“Advanced Process Control is the replication of

the most efficient and knowledgeable operator,

who understands the plant dynamics, and is

able to predict the plant behaviour, control the

process, concurrently utilise every opportunity

to optimise, within the plant operating window

(hard & soft constraints), every minute, 24 hours,

throughout the year.”

Mr Kishor RahejaSr Deputy General Manager - Oil & Gas, Water, Larsen & Toubro Limited – Control & Automation Business Unit

“Terminal network is widespread in any

country, especially in India, where the demand

is very high. These terminals are put up at

very set locations where the demand is high

and logistically from where it is easier for the

oil companies to deliver it to the retail outlet

network which is around that terminal.”

Safety & Security

Mr Pramod SrivastavaVP-Projects-Vadinar Ports & Terminal Ltd, Essar

“In the refinery or petrochemical or any industry,

the safety of plant machinery and, most

importantly, people is very important, and is

of prime concern of the management. For any

incident or accident, which leads to loss of

property, in few cases death, are irreparable. In

this field, instrumentation and automation plays

a very vital role in creating the facility which will

be used to shut down systems.”

Mr Thorsten SchaperProduct and Sales Director, Protego India Private Limited

“We are manufacturers of flame arresters.

Accidents are not predictable. Even in a country

like Germany, where safety measures and safety

requirements are very high, accidents happen.”

Mr V P RamanDivisional Director, Mott MacDonald

“The prime objective of any engineering

consultant is to ensure safe design of the plant,

anticipate all potential types of accidents and

to provide appropriate protective systems,

procedures, devices etc. to mitigate the damages.”

Mr Chetan BhensjariyaHead Instrumentation Engineering - L&T Chiyoda

“The selection of an alarm priority depends

heavily on the consequences of the abnormal

condition if the operator fails to take corrective

actions in a timely fashion. For each impact,

the consequence of an operator failure to take

action shall be determined. The worst case

impact determines the consequence of High,

Medium or Low.”

“Safety Critical Systems are those systems

whose failure could result in loss of life,

significant property damage or damage to the

environment. System Reliability can be improved

by: Improving System Specification, Detailed

discussion with Developer/Vendor at each stage,

and Extensive Testing.”

Mr Manoj ChandrashekharMarketing Director, GE Energy

“A compressor available with 80 per cent

availability running at 60 per cent efficiency

doesn’t make sense. What you require is a

compressor running at 90 per cent availability

and 95 per cent efficiency. So the technologies

that are required for making a machine produce

more and give more during the operational

stage also slightly changes.”

Mr Ashish BhandariGeneral Manager-India, GE Energy

Looking at information, analysing information,

driving results from information is faster today

than was 10 years back. Simultaneously, devices

are also changing. We need to move fast with

time, because when software moves, it moves

much faster than the pace at which the devices

and communication move.

Mr Dilip SawhneyRegional Director, Rockwell Automation

The problems that the manufacturers are trying

to solve are of a very high level. If you are a

company that is trying to compete for business,

and if you are at a manufacturing space, you

are worried about competition; you are thinking

about how do I do it faster and increase

my productivity.

Mr NandakumarManaging Director, Chemtrols Engg Ltd

Faster advancements - newer components,

newer facilities for testing, better upgraded

facilities for faster turnout, internationally

accredited testing agencies, retaining skills

available within the company, supplying the

product globally - is the biggest challenge the

automation industry is facing today.

Mr P D Samudra Executive Director -Sales & Member of Board

Uhde India & Sr. VP Business Development,

ThyssenKrupp Uhde for India & MENA

There is an urgent need to make the

technologies capex and opex oriented. We

are going to have a very difficult future in EPC

business, thus change ourselves in the coming

years. We need to change our mindset about EPC

bidding by adopting a collaborative approach.

Mr Pankaj ChadhaBusiness Director, Emerson Process Management

If you look at the history of instrumentation and automation and control, most of the R&D has been happening outside our

country. We are importing these technologies and deploying them within the country, and the pace of deployment has improved

over the years. Our consciousness towards safety and reliability has been improving quite a bit. The environmental laws are

changing. These will pose challenges for the adaptors and users of the industry, as well as for the manufacturers of these

technologies. Development of the products locally, too, will pose a challenge for us.

Director, Emerson Process Management discussed

the challenges the automation industry in India is

infested with during the panel discussion at Industry

Automation & Control 2013.

The biggest challenge in the automation industry,

today, is innovation or continuous development.

The country needs internationally accredited testing

laboratories or a unified and common infrastructure

for testing. Cyber security, too, is becoming a

challenge for the automation provider.

Industry institute partnership, too, is imperative

in todays’ scenario. Competition for increasing

productivity, developing the products locally, too apart

from the rest, will pose a challenge for the industry.

example and it is estimated that there is a

loss of 1000 million liters per day , which

can easily meet the requirement three cities

approximately the size of Indore.”

Mr Nitin UmralkarGeneral Manager, Ion Exchange (I) Ltd

“Industrial waste water treatment has gained

significant momentum in past 5-7 years. A

recent study has indicated that only 10-15 per

cent waste water is getting recycled in India.

Barring 10-15 per cent , which may not cannot

be treated at all, there is still a huge potential for

the industry to benefit from this by large.”

Dr Abhay KumarAssociate Vice President (New Product Development), Eureka Forbes Limited

“As per census of 2011, treated water availability is only 37.9 per cent for public water supply system and untreated water is 68.3

per cent. The survey further indicates that 36 per cent of households have to fetch water from a source located within 500 m in

rural areas, 100 m in urban areas, and 18 per cent still fetch drinking water from a source located more than 500 m away in rural

areas or 100 m in urban areas.”

Mr Sajid HussainHead O&M Water Reuse, Tamilnadu Water Investment Company Limited

“Tamil Nadu is water-stressed region due to

lack of fully flowing perennial river in the state

receiving bodies. The other less favoured

solution is to treat the sewages and wastewaters

to much HIGH standards and then recycle and

reuse them.”

understanding till now regarding river basin

management. Though there are several

legislations in different layers, which one or

other way, are applicable on the basin.”

Dr Vinod TareProfessor, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur

“For optimal utilisation of available water in

sustained manner it is absolutely essential that

this total cost is properly accounted for, and

priced equitably. We believe that ‘polluter pays

principle’ should be applied in its true spirit and

in case of joint responsibility, cost should be

“In the US the major organisations have

approached the USFDA saying that - as a matter

of pharmacovigilence, it is essential that each

biologic has a unique non-proprietary name

because biosimilar or an interchangeable

biologic product is highly similar to - but not the

same as its respective reference product. Thus

they caution that it would be inappropriate

from the patient safety perspective to use the

same name biologic product.”

Ms Yasmin ShenoyDirector, Regulatory Aff airs, Sanofi Aventis

“There was a notice put up at CDSCO (Central

Drug Standard Control Organization , which

is Indian equivalent of USFDA) have defined

biologic product as something coming from

rDNA technology, vaccines & blood products.

Now over the drug & cosmetics act, these are

included in new drug definition , which means

that forever they will be considered as new drugs

and this also means that there cannot be a

generic pathway for approval.”

Innovation in BiopharmaceuticalsMr M S MahadevanPresident & CEO, Bangalore Biotech Labs Pvt Ltd

“It may be difficult for the Indian biosimilars to

be accepted in the US or developed markets due

to complaince with the regulations.”

approval of biosimilars. The US has one as well

now , but successful approval through this route

is awaited.”

“Biosimilar molecules would constitute

significant fraction of total global revenue

earned on biologics within next few years. The

USA is expected to be the largest market for

Mr Anne FeenstraDutch Architect

“If you think about sustainability, if you think

about being a responsive person as an architect,

there are many ways you do that and one of

those is using local material and techniques

but with innovatio you will have to cultivate the

‘responsiveness’ in you and should protect in

during all your professional lives”

Mr Mika ToikaVP, Outokumpu

“We do not have any other planet to live. And

hence, we will have to ensure that the one

which we have must be protected against all the

damages…..the ultimate suitability challenge or

rather principal is that no law or no actions shall

be made that harms the next generations…..

and you (students) must ensure that this

principal is practiced by you religiously…..”

Mr Sam YamdagniPresident and MD, Xylem Water Solutions India Pvt Ltd

“Sustainability is all about adding values to our work…values that protect our surroundings and our environments against

any hazard… the onus is on you …the studentsv ...you should learn how to add values to your work you do after you

complete your engineering courses.”

Mr Ashwini HiranCOO, Consumer Products, Tata Group

“You might be a good entrepreneur, but may

not be good corporate citizen. You will have to

establish a balance between your entrepreneurial

skills and corporate citizenship. Translating a

personal energy of an outstanding leader into

a corporate energy of an enduring company is

of great importance….such values and ethics

distinguish a company and its employees…..”

Mr Vinod TareProfessor, IIT Kanpur

“Ethics and values are nothing but the tools

to manage your personal and professional

behaviour honestly…you as leaders will be

successfully managing a company, positions

or portfolios in big corporate houses, but

you cannot manage them all successfully

unless you manage your actions….direct or

indirect….”

Dr Sujaya BanerjeeChief Talent Offi cer and Sr VP – HR, Essar Group

“Chemtech Foundation is an initiative that will

allow students to understand what the industry

expects from them. Bring passion and pride to

your profession…undying passion for what

you are doing and undying commitment to

excellence is something that will help you clime

the ladders of success….”

Values and Ethics: What do these mean in today’s context?

Dr Thomas ScheuringCEO, DECHEMA

The fact - that how successful you are and how

hard you have worked throughout your life -

should never develop arrogance in you… stick

to your values, be what you are and ensure you

don’t hurt anyone around you…..

a science.”

distinction of bringing practically the entire

industry under a single roof. The content was

very useful; the organisation was remarkable,

and on international lines.”

Mr M V RaoMD, Fenix Process Technologies Pvt Ltd

“The 26th CHEMTECH World Expo was a great

Mr Kevin M ShahMD, Kevin Enterprises Private Limited

When we participated in ChemTech, we were

sceptical. Due to the advent of the internet &

its easy, we felt that this model of marketing &

reach has perhaps lived its life, as customer need

not travel to an exhibition to find a vendor but

can find several more thru the www that we all

live in. We were rather surprised at the response -

guess one just can’t email a handshake!.

Mr Manfred NeumaierMD, SGL Carbon India Pvt Ltd

paving avenues for new business relationships

competent technocrats during the conferences
