Marketing Experience
NRDC has accumulated
experience in matching its portfolio of source points of
technology to their potential markets in about 1000 cases,
both in India and abroad.
Countries from South often find Indian
technologies compatible to their needs. Their simplicity,smaller
plant sizes, lower investment levels, ability to utilize
local resources and employment generation capacity, make
them "appropriate technology".
As a result of NRDC's assistance to its licensees
in identifying potential clients, providing marketing support
and obtaining product certificates from authorities in different
countries, where these are required, the NRDC licensees
have been able to export their products to both the developing
and developed countries.
NRDC banks not only on the technologies
available from its own reservoir but also draws on operating
technologies from both private and public sector industry
in India and in the countries of interest.
NRDC has set up plants based on Indian
technologies for manufacture of chlorine tablets, water
filter candles, menthol from mint oil in Indonesia,
synthetic and natural dyes plant in Vietnam, rice
husk particle board plant in Malaysia, 18 projects
in Myanmar and Rural Technology Centres in Senegal.
