Indian market presence
Dalal Consultants, India, began operations in Ahmedabad in 1970 providing pre-investment advisory services to private investors in the industrial sector and to a number of Government-owned industrial development corporations. In the early 1990s as the markets were opened up to the private sector the company diversified its activities into water resources management and then moved into transportation and integrated infrastructure development. It was in 1994 that Dalal Consultants first came in contact with Mott MacDonald working on the Indira Gandhi Nahar project.
In 2001 Dalal Consultants joined Mott MacDonald, with 750 staff specializing in infrastructure, industry and social sector development. Today, with over 1,300 staff, we’re working on a range of projects in the transport, water, industry, buildings, energy, environment, health, education, communications, and institutional development sectors.
Textile vertical
More than 40% of the world’s production of clothing and textiles is in China and India. Industry players expect man-made fibre to play a major role in the growth of technical textiles in the country. The man-made fibre industry is expecting a growth of nine per cent in production in India this year. Currently, India is the second largest producer of man-made fibre at 6.1 million tonnes per annum. A large number of technical textile products are consumed by industries like automotive, healthcare, infrastructure, oil & petroleum, etc.
With increase in investments in these industry sectors and increased awareness level of the workers of these sectors regarding personal safety, consumption of technical textiles is increasing rapidly.
Mott MacDonald provides engineering, management and development consultancy focusing on guiding the textile clients through many of the industry’s most intricate challenges. Its network of experts will find opportunities in complexity, turning obstacles into elegant, sustainable solutions.
Mott MacDonald has the capability to help the synthetic fibre industry achieve its full potential, by providing assistance in the modernization and rehabilitation of old plants and assessing the markets for products and modelling investment opportunities.
We have worked for several major companies in the spinning, weaving and manmade garment industry. We have also designed many facilities for the production of polyester yarn (POY), dyes and dye intermediates, and textile chemicals. Some of the projects Mott MacDonald has successfully delivered include a Greenfield Viscose Staple Fibre Production Facility in Vilayat, Gujarat, a BOPET and Metalliser plant in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, and a CP plant and PET film line in Nasik, Maharashtra.
