 Industrial Profile of Dakshina Kannada District

1. Introduction & General Characteristics of the District:

 Located in the southern and coastal part of Karnataka.

 District head quarter - Mangalore city (347 km from Bangalore).
 Spread across 5 Talukas - Mangalore, Puttur, Belthangady, Bantwal and Sullia.
 62.72% Forest Cover (2,860 km2) - 2nd Highest in state (2007).
 Hub for Major Information Technology and outsourcing companies

famous for its trading facilities. Middle belt consists of hills and fertile valleys; famous
for several gardens of arecanut, coconut and paddy fields.
 Western Ghats form the eastern boundary of district, consisting dense evergreen
forests.

Sheltered by the soaring Western Ghats on the east and bordered by the blue waters of
the Arabian Sea, Dakshina Kannada district is blessed with abundant rainfall, fertile soil
and lush vegetation. Pristine beaches, picturesque mountain ranges, temple towns and
a rich culture make it a sought after tourist destination. The district is well known for
Yakshagana- a fabulous costumed dance drama form, Kambala- the sport of buffalo
racing by farmers, Kori-katta (Cock Fight) and Bootha Kola. District is a hub for major
information technology and outsourcing companies.
This district also has the distinction of formation of some of the leading banks in the
country and well known educational institutions. Mangalore, the district head quarter is
called as the gate way to Karnataka due to the presence of New Mangalore Port
Trust which is an all weather port.

3. Industrial Scenario of Dakshina Kannada District:

In Dakshina Kannada district, industries such as tile, beedi, cashew kernel, coconut oil,
food and beverages and manufacturing activities like rubber/plastic goods, wooden
products etc had a prominent presence. The tile industry has been in decline due to
non availability of quality clay and fire wood in addition to labour shortage and public
preference for concrete structures in the modern era. The Beedi rolling industry is one of
the major home industries of district. After establishment of sea port at Mangalore in the
seventies there is rapid momentum in industrialization in the district. Due to the presence
of large and mega industrial units in the district, a large number of micro and small
enterprises are coming up.
Taluks in Dakshina Kannada district have been divided into zones for industrial incentives
namely
Zone 3: Bantwal, Mangalore (excluding Corporation limits), Puttur, Sullya & Belthangadi
Zone 4: Mangalore (Corporation limits)

3.9. Service Enterprises:

3.9.1 Potentials areas for service industry

Due to the availability and demand for perishable items like fish, fruits and vegetables in
this district, cold storages can be set up. Cold storages for fruits, vegetables, flowers,
pulses, etc., could be established in Mangalore and Puttur taluks.
A huge jump in the automobile population particularly small car and two wheeler bikes in
the urban and rural areas have created scope for automobile service and repair units in
this district
There is shortage of activities for providing services to house hold articles like
refrigerators, grinders, washing machines, air coolers, fans etc. which is an
opportunity in this sector for many skilled people of this region.

Motor rewinding depends upon the number of motors used in industrial drives,
compressors in cold storage, fans, mixers, etc., which will increase due to the
development of housing sector and food sector. Also pump sets used for irrigation and
drinking purpose are the other major customers for motor rewinding industry.

3.10 Potential for new MSME

18
Paddy, being a major food crop grown in the district, there is scope for few units
manufacturing items such as beaten rice and Rice Rotti.

Coconut, Areca and Cashew are the major plantation crops in the district. Industries based
on Coconut such as tender coconut water, coconut chips, desiccated coconut,
coconut shell powder, activated carbon, brooms made out of dried coconut leafs,
coconut fibre based activities such as ropes and nets are suggested. By applying better
technology in production and packaging, different value added products like salted, spiced
cashew can be taken up for high end category markets by few entrepreneurs in this area.
Areca nut is a major commercial crop which can be raw material for supari making.

Since seasonal fruits such as Mango, Jackfruit, Papaya, Pineapple and Banana are
available in plenty in this district, fruit processing units based on these fruits can come
up.Marine Resources available in the district give scope for setting up of units based on
products like fish pickles, processed fish products, canning units, fish oil and
activities related to building of fishing boats, nets and other fishing equipments making.

Composite fish culture in new ponds and water logged areas, the culture of more than 3
to 4 species of fishes to get maximum production from the available water spread area is
having enough scope in this region.

Forest Resources in the district give scope for setting up of industrial units like sawmills,
furniture manufacturing, beekeeping and honey processing, construction of wooden boats
and latex processing. The herbs and gums available in the tree bark have various
applications which have been underutilized.

Natural rubber is available in good quantity and hence there is a huge scope for setting
up of units to manufacture coir foam, surgical hand gloves, rubberized coir mattress,
latex crepe, cycle tyres, tubes, furniture from rubber wood, footwear, floor mats, rings
etc.

Waste generated through different industrial activities in the form of scrap and other
activities can be converted into products of economic value. Good quality manure can be
produced in short time using some of the modern micro biological decomposition
technologies. Recycling of used aluminum utensils and industrial waste is suggested in
rural areas.

Other suggested activities:

Floriculture is an untapped area in the district so far, except Mangalore ‘Mallige ‘a species
of jasmine which is a seasonal flower cultivated in small pockets of agricultural land.
Orchid Farms can be promoted which is having high export potential. Horticulture
department is providing technical assistance and incentives to private growers of medical
and aromatic plants which can be a raw material for ayurvedic medicines having
both domestic and export potential. Scope for contract farming exists in case of
medicinal and aromatic crops, fruits and for rearing and marketing of broiler birds.

There is scope for establishment of seed nurseries & tissue culture units.

19
There is plenty of opportunity for developing good number of mini dairy units. Other
activities most suitable in the rural area are goat and female calf rearing in addition to
poultry.

The presence of a large number of MNCs and increased availability of disposable

income among the urban populace, offers good scope for ornamental fish breeding
and culture. Brackish water shrimp culture has ample scope. Mari culture activities with
special emphasis to mussel culture, ornamental fish culture, and integrated fish farming
with poultry, dairy, fresh water prawn culture can be considered.

Urbanisation, places of tourist attraction in this region and presence of many families
where both husband and wife are working, has increased the demand for ready to eat
and hotels. Additives like spices and condiments are having good demand.
The younger segment of population in educational institutions are the major customers
for Ice creams and cool drinks.

Educational institution consisting of schools, colleges, polytechnics and ITIs in addition to

a considerable number of hospitals of varying sizes and industries regularly requires
uniform for their students and employees. Lack of trained skilled manpower in the area of
stitching and cutting deprives the scope for a fair number of ready made garment units in
this district. Many agencies identified this lacuna and are taking initiative to create skilled
human resources in this field which will help in establishing enterprises in this sector.

Construction boom generates demand for materials like stone jelly, marble slabs, tiles,
door and window frames, fittings, etc. Other potential sectors are paints, metal or wood
primers, mosaic tiles and concrete products like well rings, tanks and pots. Services
related to construction activity having demand are carpentry, electrification, plumbing and
security.

Due to heavy infrastructural activities such as laying of pipe lines, construction of oil
tankers and boilers coming up in recent times, there is considerable scope for metal
joints and metal forming by way of welding of different types such as specialized welding
MIG,TIG etc.

Another important activity of metal works and foundry are different types of metal
testing which gives opportunity for setting up of Heat Treatment and Non Destructive
Testing Centres to cater the needs of service providers and service seekers.

Presence of innumerable number of temples and other religious centres in and

around the district gives great scope for non ferrous foundries for making statues of
god/goddess, special utensils for pooja and bell for temples.

Galvanising, Nickel, Chrome Phosphate, Anodising, Powder Coating etc are in demand due
to growth in base industries. Recovery of lead from used lead acid batteries and
recovery of copper and gold from mother boards of electronic circuits of IT tools scrap
are having scope.
