Amal

Project Overview

Objective: The primary goal of the Amla oil project is to produce high-quality Amla oil, which is used in various healthcare and cosmetic products such as hair oil, shampoo, face creams, and toothpowder.
Market Demand: Amla oil has a significant demand from industries involved in healthcare and cosmetics, making it a viable business venture.

Funding: The total funding required for the project is estimated to be Rs 31.49 lakhs, with Rs 15.75 lakhs each from equity (promoters' cost) and debt. This does not include any grants or aid from government entities, which could positively impact the project's profitability.

Civil Cost: The total cost of civil works is estimated at Rs 5.04 lakhs, which includes the construction of structures for the Amla processing machine, raw material storage, and finished goods storage.

Utilities Cost: The total cost of utilities is estimated at Rs 3.57 lakhs, covering water storage (10,000 LT/hour), a generator set (30 KVA), weighing scales, and electrical wires and panels.

Cost: The total cost of plant and machinery is estimated at Rs 19.22 lakhs (including IGST). This includes various machines such as Amla washing machines, boiled Amla breaking machines, Amla punching machines, steam jacketed kettles, steam boilers, electrical tray dryers, SS tables, hand pallet trucks, and Brix meters.

Raw Material Processing: The process involves washing, boiling, breaking, and punching the Amla fruits.
Extraction: The Amla is then processed using steam jacketed kettles and steam boilers.
Drying: The use of electrical tray dryers is crucial for drying the Amla.
Packaging: Finished goods are stored and packaged appropriately.

For a smaller, home-based production, the process can be simplified:

Making Amla Kashayam: Combine water and Amla powder, boil until the mixture reduces to about 2 cups of liquid, then strain it.
Purifying the Oil: Mix the strained kashayam with coconut oil and additional Amla powder, and simmer until the water content is reduced and the oil is purified.
Infusion Method: Alternatively, Amla powder can be infused in grapeseed oil or any other carrier oil by mixing the powder with the oil and letting it sit for a period before straining.

Hair Care: Amla oil is known for its benefits in hair care, including promoting hair growth, darkening hair, and providing moisture.
Skin and Health: It is also used in face creams, shampoos, and other healthcare products due to its antioxidant and cooling properties.

Patch Test: Before using Amla oil, especially if made at home, it is advisable to conduct a patch test to ensure there are no allergic reactions.
Consultation: If you are using any medical treatments or have specific skin or hair conditions, consult a healthcare professional before using Amla oil.

By considering these aspects, the Amla oil project can be well-planned and executed, whether on a commercial or home scale.
