Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have

continually demonstrated the determination to

drive to a higher growth trajectory. However, to

make this strategic, SMEs need international

benchmarks, technical expertise and both

competition and co-operation from other

SMEs.

This is where our Centre of Excellence extends its meaningful

interventions - be it through Cluster programmes, training,

seminars, international engagements and events like the National

Cluster Summit. We remain committed in our efforts to transform

Indian SMEs into the best league of enterprises.

A two member team of Counselors from the Energy Management Vertical conducted a four day detailed Energy

audit at the the Haridwar Plant of Automobile major Mahindra and Mahindra from April 16 to 19, 2013. The detailed

energy audit involved data collection, measurements, data analysis of all thermal & electrical energy consumers like

paint shop, assembly line, air compressors, electrical distribution system, motors, pumps, lighting and harmonic

level assessment.

Specific improvements were suggested for energy efficiency equipments & optimisation of specific energy

consumption of the plant. The identified projects covered savings without investment, some medium term

investment projects & some capital projects on energy efficient technology up-gradation. The Haridwar Plant of

Mahindra & Mahindra is an assembly line for Multi Utility Vehicle Bolero and for the, Alpha mini loader.

CII-AVANTHA Centre for Competitiveness for SMEs organized a two day training

Programme on 2-3 May 2013 for Energy Professionals at Hotel Park Plaza in

Faridabad

The topic of “Energy Conservation Techniques' was designed with a view to enrich

the Energy Professionals with advanced and emerging trends in this field, which

would prove to be relevant and effective for the industry in which they would

implement it. The programme was under the BEE-GEF-World Bank Project

'Financing Energy Efficiency at MSMEs. It is part of the project in which Bureau of

Energy Efficiency (BEE), Government of India in coordination with Confederation

of Indian Industry (CII) has taken up the initiative to enhance the Energy Efficiency

of the Mixed Industry in the Faridabad (Haryana) through BEE – GEF – WB

Energy Efficiency Mixed Cluster Program.

The objective of the project is to accelerate the adoption of Energy Efficient technologies and practices through

knowledge sharing, capacity building and development of innovative financing mechanisms. One of the focus area of

the training program was to train energy professionals, to develop knowledge on techniques for effective energy

management at design stage itself, so that it results in reducing both thermal and electrical energy consumption in

operation.

As a part of its efforts to make the industry aware about the various dynamics of corrosion management and to

showcase the best practices to combat corrosion, CII-AVANTHA Centre for Competitiveness for SMEs held a two day

training Program on 'Corrosion Control Using Effective Paints & Coatings' on 23-24 May 2013 at Bangalore.

When it comes to paints and coatings, the most frequent consideration is about their eventual effects on appearance of

the substrate in question. Though improving the appearance is a key attribute of paints and coatings, but somehow

additional functionalities can also be procured. Coatings and paints play a significant role in protecting the valuables

from corrosion. The training program was attended by companies from different parts of the country. It had eminent

speakers from Corrosion Management Committee talking on different dimensions of Corrosion as well as providing on

the spot solutions to the captivated audience.

Our Corrosion Management Services: Mission Corrosion Prevention

The impact of corrosion on the nation's exchequer is a staggering figure of Rs. 2 lakh crores. Losses due to corrosion

are enormous and are not only affecting the economy but also the safety quotient in industry besides the adverse

impact on the environment.

Not many are aware that atmospheric corrosion may be affecting our cultural heritage. In the industrial context,

corroded machineries could lead to accidents, life hazards, food and water contamination, higher energy

consumption, value erosion of expensive materials et al. Due to the limited awareness about corrosion, very little

preventive measurements were made in the past by the industries.

In such a scenario, CII-AVANTHA Centre for Competitiveness has initiated a service on Corrosion Management

and formed a “Committee on Corrosion Management” (CMC) under the chairmanship of Dr Baldev Raj, Former

Director, Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) & President Research, PSG Institutions. CII - CMC is a

network of internationally renowned experts on corrosion, who work committed to minimise corrosion related losses

in India. The members list of CMC includes experts from various Indian research institutions like IGCAR, Bhabha

Atomic Research Centre (BARC), National Metallurgical Laboratory (NML), Central Electro Chemical Research

Institute (CECRI) and industries such as Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), Oil & Natural Gas

Corporation Ltd (ONGC), National Thermal Power Corporation Ltd (NTPC) & Engineers India Limited (EIL) etc.

CII - CMC services includes Detailed Corrosion Audits, Corrosion Awareness Program in the form of regular

Seminars/Training Programs, In-house Training Programs for the industry, and Awareness drives through

Posters & Publications.

CII - CMC aims at better corrosion management which can be achieved using preventive strategies. These

preventive strategies include increasing awareness of significant corrosion costs and potential cost-savings,

changing the misconception that nothing can be done about corrosion, changing policies, regulations, standards,

and management practices to increase corrosion cost-savings through sound corrosion management, and by

developing advanced life prediction of machinery and performance assessment.

CII - CMC corrosion audit approach advocates the need for the company to build up competencies as we

progress. Corrosion audit would happen through a combination of inputs:

¶Formal class-room training ¶Consulting (assisting in finding the exact solutions and hands holding during implementation). ¶Counseling (helping management make wise choices in deciding the development of a road-map and its

implementation) ¶Off-line support during the project for many things that may be done not necessarily in the factory

premises.

These are implemented in the plant, so that there is a sustainable change in the maintenance cost. The

benefits that industries are getting through corrosion audit includes 30-40% reduction of the corrosion

related issues at each and every area, less down time of the equipment due to corrosion, minimization of

quality threat to the finished products by corrosion, controlled life cycle cost of painting program and

maintenance.

CII - CMC is also creating awareness through publishing booklets on corrosion on various topics like corrosion of

materials such as Carbon steels, Stainless steels, Aluminum alloys, Copper & Zinc alloys, and Titanium & Zirconium

alloys. Also booklets on forms of corrosion, corrosion monitoring & inspection, paints & coatings, corrosion inhibitor

applications etc are also being published.

With these activities of CII - CMC industries are getting a pathway to approach R & D organisations that can improve

their efficiency and reduce corrosion related failures. CII - CMC is dedicated to create corrosion awareness and its

related issues in Indian industry to build a safe, clean and stainless India.
