Anil was the first manufacturer of products shown in Bold face.
Over the years, Anil realized that it has the opportunity to take an early mover advantage and decided to develop new applications of the existing product range and also new products, so as to climb up the value chain. This involved a considerable investment in terms of developing and building up strong research and development capabilities and also focusing on new market development while launching the new value added products based on newer applications. Thus, the last decade can be truly described as a phase of development, through intense R & D efforts put in by the company essentially for development of new product, new applications and new markets. It can be stated that Anil is today the largest producer of modified starches in the country.
