CLAY KULHAR MAKING UNIT PROJECT REPORT

‘Kulhar’ is a traditional disposable handle-less Clay Cup that is typically unpainted and unglazed. Food retail stalls in the Indian subcontinent traditionally serve hot beverages such as tea in ‘Kulhars’, which suffuse the beverage with an earthy aroma often considered appealing. 

The proposed project is that of setting up of Pottery Business unit at the proposed location. Pottery in India has evolved over the years into magnificent ceramic art. It is not only a piece of clay for daily utility but is also the most significant factor of the source of income for many. Pottery making business in India is a beautiful example of the journey covered by an entrepreneur from ‘Mud to Money.’

Nearly 400 railway stations in India serve Tea in Kulhars and the target to the government is to make sure that all the railways stations in India serve tea in Kulhars only. Kulhars are bio-degradable, cheap, eco-friendly and very hygienic. This has resulted in increased demand for such Cups in take-away and food delivery applications. Heightened awareness regarding harmful nature of single use plastics on environment has promoted the development of disposable packaging solutions to reduce carbon emission, increase recycling and better waste management. These factors are expected to bolster the demand of Clay Cups in upcoming years.

Increasing consumption of beverages and fast food due to busy lifestyle in most of the cities in developed countries has led to the emergence of new coffee shops and fast food restaurants. This trend is gradually penetrating in developing regions. Surge in population along with increasing per capita income in developing nations has boosted the fast food and beverage market. The bans on single use plastic cups in India will offer opportunities for disposable cups market growth. Increasing consumption of tea & coffee and rising consumer inclination towards cleanliness and hygiene especially as experienced during pandemic will further accelerate the demand.
