Creamline Dairy Products Limited, which retails its products under the
‘Jersey’ brand, is planning to set up a tetra packaging plant in
Hyderabad with an investment of Rs 10 crore by 2012.
Speaking to mediapersons at its silver jubilee celebrations here
today, K Bhaskar Reddy, managing director, Creamline Dairy, said,
"Tetra pack has one to three months shelflife. So, our focus would be
more on cultured and long shelflife products."
The plant, work on which is likely to start this year, would have a
production capacity of 100,000 litre per day, he said. The plant would
come up on 10 acres.
Creamline has tied up with Tetra Pak, the processing and packaging
major, to bring the UHT (ultra high temperature) technology to its
plant. Around 50 per cent of the proposed investment would be raised
through loans from financial institutions, he said.

Hardware cluster planned in Hyderabad
In a bid to give a fillip to hardware manufacturing in India, Software
Technology Parks of India (STPI) said it was proposing to set up a
2,000-acre hardware cluster in Hyderabad.
Based on the Union ministry of Information Technology & Communications
(IT&C) directions, STPI said it has written to the state government
requesting land allotment for the proposed project.
“We were asked by the Union ministry to approach respective state
governments regarding land allotment to set up hardware clusters. The
idea is to build ready-to-occupy infrastructure facility, much similar
to STPI model, for hardware manufacturers.
We are seeking 2,000 acres in and around Hyderabad,” said P Venugopal,
managing director, STPI.
He added that STPI's existing promotional activity for electronic
hardware manufacturers limits them to allot land for individual
companies.
"By setting up a hardware cluster, we will create an ecosystem
including production facilities for companies to come and set up
operations on a plug-and-play model," he explained.
While Fabcity, promoted by the state government, only allots land, the
proposed hardware cluster built by STPI would include building the
facility for companies besides offering additional tax benefits.
“We are yet to identify the investment potential, nature of hardware
manufacturing activity that can be undertaken from the proposed
cluster.
A team is already preparing a feasibility report and we would get
clarity once it's done,” Venugopal said. Meanwhile, Ponnala
Lakshmaiah, I&T minister assured support to set up a hardware cluster.
“We have just heard of the proposal. While we are yet to study the
request, we are willing to provide land for prospective hardware
producers planning to set up manufacturing plants anywhere in the
state.”

Metro rail work in phases
Metro rail construction activity will be taken up in a phased and
staggered manner. Initially, construction will be taken up on
stretches with wide roads, especially Miyapur-Panjagutta,
Nagole-Mettuguda and LB Nagar-New Market. Simultaneously, carriageway
will be widened on narrow parts of the metro rail corridors.
