Dear Members, My friends and I are thinking of getting into Bio Diesel production. My understanding is that though this sector has huge potential, there are major supply side constraints (in terms of jatropha, karanja seeds that form the major chunk of inputs). Government policy till now is not clear - by 2017 it is expected that government will make 20% bio diesel blending with normal diesel compulsory. Cost of production is high - greater than the diesel available in the market.
I would appreciate if anyone having any idea on this can share it with us. Is this a viable business proposition? thanks, Siddharth On Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 12:36 AM, Bihar Network Group <[email protected] > wrote: > > > Bihar Network > The Largest Network of Biharis > www.bihar-network.ning.com > > > > > > > > --- On *Tue, 3/24/09, Dr Ravi Chandra <[email protected]>* wrote: > > > From: Dr Ravi Chandra <[email protected]> > Subject: Market Linkages in Kolkata > To: [email protected], > Date: Tuesday, March 24, 2009, 1:35 AM > > Dear Friends, > > Greetings!!! > > In this month of march, I think every one is busy for march closing.
