Parag Dairy Parag Milk Foods Pvt. Ltd. (Parag or the Company), established in 1992, is one of Indias largest private dairy companies, catering to major cities in the country with a strong presence in Western and Southern India. It has a milk processing capacity of upto 2,000,000 litres per day (LPD) - 1,200,000 LPD at Manchar, Maharashtra and another 800,000 LPD at Palamner, Andhra Pradesh. The Company has a well diversified product portfolio ranging from liquid milk to value added products like UHT milk, cheese, butter, ghee (clarified butter), paneer (cottage cheese), yoghurt, curd, lassi, flavored milk, dairy whitener and milk powder, sold under the brands GO, Gowardhan and Top Up, with value added products being > 60% of sales.  For its next phase of growth, the Company plans to continue with its strategy of shifting to value added products which offer better margins, especially Whey (de-mineralised whey powder), Cheese and UHT milk. Also, the Company plans to strengthen its current operations through plant automation and expanding its procurement and distribution networks. Improvement in food safety standards & technology: In India majority of the milk & milk products have very poor traceability till farm level. Also contamination and adulteration of milk is common owing to significant supply-demand gap and lack of extensive cold chain network. An organized sector player like Parag will help improve food safety standards. Also, Parag is ahead in technology as compared to other players in the Indian dairy sector.   Enhanced supply chain linkage with farmers and food suppliers: Parag currently collects milk from ~60,000 farmers directly or through third parties and is focusing on growing the procurement network by setting up more chilling centers and bulk coolers. This increased demand of milk will lead to increase in number of farmers in the supply chain. It will also support other input suppliers to the industry including feed and veterinarian suppliers.  Development of medium and small enterprises: Parag distributes its products through 60+ super-stockists, 1,000+ distributors and over 120,000 retail outlets thus having a far reaching impact on supporting medium and small enterprises across the country.   Improved incomes in rural and peri-urban areas: The project will create direct and indirect employment and result in other development benefits such as linkages with local suppliers, as also seen in our previous project with Pran Dairy, Bangladesh. Also, Parag sells cows from its own dairy farm to the local population after the cow has its 5th / 6th lactation. These are superior breed cows with yields better than those reared locally and will hence help improve rural incomes.  Supporting growth/guiding the critical Indian dairy industry: Expecting a shortfall in supply and to improve yields, NDDB expects a gradual increase in the share of the organized sector to 60% from the current share of 30%. IFC investment will help this medium sized dairy Company to expand rapidly and develop best practices to increase yield that would be disseminated down to farmers who form a critical link in Company''s supply chain.
DARP Encore ARC The proposed project (subject to regulatory approvals) consists of an investment in Encore Asset Reconstruction Company Private Limited (Encore ARC) in India, to support the acquisition and resolution of distressed assets (DAs), largely retail and MSME NPAs in India. - Economic Development: The successful implementation of the project will aid the development of a market for DAs, which in turn will serve as a stabilization factor for the financial system. This should enable institutions to focus on productive use of capital which can result in higher liquidity and increased capitalization levels at the lending institutions level which all helps the real economic development.  - Business Environment: DA transactions help improve the stability of the banking system, the lifeline of an economy. As financial intermediaries increase the sale of their DAs the transparency of the balance sheets of these financial intermediaries improve as these assets are priced according to the market conditions, which improves the business environment.  - Financial Infrastructure: IFC''s involvement in this project will allow the foundation for a focused DA market in retail and MSME sectors, which will improve liquidity in the overall economy. Banks selling their DAs to Encore ARC will be able to devote their resources for originating new credit, while Encore ARC''s activities will help debtors get back into the credit system.
Apollo Hosp Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited (AHEL or the Company) is among the largest integrated private healthcare groups in India.  The proposed project by AHEL involves an investment of upto US$394 million over the next four years to add about 2,900 beds to its hospital network and for equipment purchases of its existing hospitals (the Project).
