Calcium Carbide Production Under Liberalised Economy

Abstract

The industrial development in the organic chemical sectors was based on Calcium Carbide due to nonavailability of petroleum feed stock. As a result of the availability of petroleum stock in modern era, dependency an calcium carbide eased out.Future of this industry in liberalized economy depends on the availability of power, raw materials, international prices of crude oil and international prices of calcium carbide manufactured in India.Initially calcium carbide manufacturing industrial development was based on borrowed technology. The emphasis was on quantity and not on quality. Therefore, in the post liberalization era, there needs an inertia towards upgradiation of technology rectorically than as a commitment.
