A dream for new world Anchored in India and committed to its traditional values of
leadership with trust, the Taj group is spreading its footprint globally through excellence and innovation
Each operating company in the group develops its international business as an integral element in an overall strategy, depending on the competitive dynamics of the industry in which it operates. For some businesses a focus on the domestic Indian market remains the priority. For others it is developing a robust presence in neighboring markets. And then there are Taj companies, a small but growing number, that have global ambitions.
Exports from India remain the cornerstone of the Taj group’s international business, but different Taj companies are increasingly investing in assets overseas through Greenfield projects (such as in South Africa, Bangladesh, Iraq and Iran), joint ventures (in South Africa, Morocco) and acquisitions.
Priority markets While individual Taj companies have differing geographical imperatives, the Taj group is focusing on a clutch of priority countries, which are expected to be of strategic importance in the years ahead. The regions are Sri Lanka, UK, China, the Netherlands, Germany, South Africa, members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Brazil, Vietnam, Thailand and Taiwan.
Dr. R.K.Singh, Chairman, Taj Agro International Limited., sums up the Taj group’s efforts to internationalize its operations thus: “I hope that a hundred years from now we will spread our wings far beyond India, that we become a global group, operating in many countries, an Indian business
conglomerate that is at home in the world, carrying the same sense of trust that we do today.‖

Large amounts of energy are expended in the process of removing water and so plants developed over the years have become increasingly more energy efficient. Evaporators are much more energy efficient than driers, using only a fraction of a kilogram of steam (or the energy equivalent) per kilogram of water removed. Driers on the other hand use several kilograms of steam (or steam equivalent) per kilogram of water evaporated. Spray drying provides a means of rapidly and gently removing the bulk of the remaining water but, ideally, spray driers have short residence times.
Milk powders are immensely more stable than fresh milk but protection from moisture, oxygen, light and heat is needed in order to maintain their quality and shelf life. Milk Powders readily take up moisture from the air, leading to a rapid loss of quality and caking or lumping. The fat in WMPs can react with oxygen in the air to give off-flavors, especially at higher storage temperatures (> 30 C) typical of the tropics.

Betel Nuts
betel nut palms originally grew wild in southeast asia, perhaps in the philippines or malaysia.
They were brought to the indian subcontinent by humans in prehistoric times. The betel nut
palm is now cultivated across the asian tropics as a cash crop, as well as in almost every
village garden. It is used for its seeds which are chewed as a
origins
the betel nut palm is only known in cultivation, and its exact origin is not known. It is likely
to have evolved in southeast asia where it is thought to be of very ancient cultivation and
where diversity of the genus areca is greatest. The chewing of the seeds is an ancient tradition
for millions of people across south and southeast asia. The practice is known as 'tamboul' in
india and may have originated in the region of vietnam and malaysia. From here it was
probably first introduced to india.
betel nuts are chewed throughout asia, india and the pacific.
betel nuts come from an evergreen tree which grows to a height of 30 meters (90+ feet) with
a spread of 5 meters (15+ feet).
betel nuts are used medicinally in the treatment of intestinal worms.
a common use of betel nuts is in ritualistic chewing. The chewing of betel nuts causes mild
stimulation and a feeling of well-being. Betel nuts popular use throughout asia, india and the
pacific makes it one of the most popular stimulants in the world.
methods of use
betel nut is chewed, on its own, with herbs and spices, or with tobacco. Generally some
sort of lime is added as this makes the active compounds far more effective. Without
the use of lime, betel can still be chewed for its taste and mouth freshening properties
but will have a less marked stimulant effect.
effects :
the active compounds in betel nut act as a mild stimulant. The effects include increased
alertness, greater energy, reduced fatigue, talkativeness and excitability. Some users also
report euphoric feelings.

activity in many asian countries. It is also used as an offering in hinduism.

black peppercorns are the fruit of a tropical vine which flourishes within 15 degrees of the
equator, in places where the sun is hot and monsoons bring over 100 inches of rainfall per
year. India, malaysia, indonesia, vietnam, and brazil are the biggest producers, but it is also
grown around the world, from sri lanka, thailand and china to madagascar, nigeria, australia
and guatemala.
the vine has shiny, vibrant green, heart-shaped leaves that are deeply veined and have a
sweetly aromatic flavor. In late spring, it produces tiny white flowers which develop into
spikes of 50 to 100 small green berries that turn yellow and eventually a deep rosy red as they
ripen into long, dangling clusters.
there are many varieties of black pepper in india, particularly in south india, where many
pepper corns are available and green pepper, black pepper and white pepper are its
derivatives. Pepper is known for its strong smell and though it has subtle taste, its smell
registers its presence in a dish. It is used as a medicine and as a seasoning as well. We
provide the choicest of pepper picked from exclusive fields of south india and they can be
used in the seed form or can be crushed to fine powder for diverse usage.
facts about black peppers
black pepper (piper nigrum) is a flowering vine in the family piperaceae, cultivated for its
fruit, which is usually dried and used as a spice and seasoning. The same fruit is also used to
produce white pepper, red/pink pepper, and green pepper. [2] black pepper is native to south
india (tamil: milagu, ? ? ? ? ? ; telugu: miriyam) and is extensively cultivated there and
elsewhere in tropical regions. The fruit, known as a peppercorn when dried, is a small drupe
five millimeters in diameter, dark red when fully mature, containing a single seed.
dried ground pepper is one of the most common spices in european cuisine and its
descendants, having been known and prized since antiquity for both its flavor and its use as a
medicine. The spiciness of black pepper is due to the chemical piperine. Ground black
peppercorn, usually referred to simply as "pepper", may be found on nearly every dinner
table in some parts of the world, often alongside table salt.

Castor Seeds
description of castor bean : in the tropics, castor bean becomes a small tree. In
areas with long growing seasons in the united states, it will reach 10 feet. The distinctive
tropical character comes from the large, hand-shaped leaves that are up to 3 feet wide. Each
one has from 5 to 12 deeply cut lobes.
growing castor bean : castor beans are indifferent to soil if they receive full sun, adequate
heat, and plenty of moisture. In areas with long growing seasons, plant them directly in the
ground after all danger of frost has passed and the ground is warm enough to germinate the
seeds. In frost-free areas of zones 9 and 10, they will live through the winter. Plant them at
least 3 feet apart.
propagating castor bean: by seed. Before sowing the seeds, soak them for 24 hours in water
or nick the seed coat with a file. Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks prior to planting in the
garden. Start them in individual pots for transplanting.
uses for castor bean: castor beans are one of the most useful plants for shielding eyesores or
providing temporary screens in the garden. They need lots of room; this plant is not modest in
size. Side branches with flowers are cut to make attractive floral arrangements; the spiny
seed-pods are used in dried arrangements. Some people have a skin reaction to the foliage
and seedpods.

Cheese
people have been tinkering with that basic recipe ever since then, and there are
now hundreds of different kinds of cheeses. Cheese-makers impart different flavors and
textures into their cheeses by using different milks, adding various bacteria and molds, aging
for different lengths of time, and so forth.
the pate, or inner portion, of a cheese is normally encased in a rind. natural rinds can be
covered or mottled with mold, and they're often edible, though many people find them bitter
and salty. waxy rinds shouldn't be eaten.
tips :
1 always bring a table cheese to room temperature before serving it--the flavor is much better.
2 younger cheeses tend to be mild, soft, and moist. As cheeses age, they become more
pungent, hard, and crumbly.
3 many cheeses become rubbery when cooked too long or at too high a temperature. If you
4lan to cook with a cheese, select a heat-tolerant one like mozzarella or emmental.
5 it's usually best to keep cheese in its original packaging. If the cheese has been cut, wrap it
6tightly in plastic wrap to hold in the moisture. If it hasn't been cut, wrap it first with waxed
7paper and then with plastic wrap--this allows the cheese to breathe.
8 store cheese near the bottom of the refrigerator, where temperature fluctuations are
minimal.
9 harder cheeses have a longer shelf life than soft, moist ones.
10 don't freeze cheese--it ruins the flavor.

Chutney or Chatni is a term for a condiment that originated in India which is spicy or sweet.
It could be thought of being similar to the salsa or relish as it usually involves a fresh,
chopped primary vegetable/fruit with seasonings added and used to accompany another food
to add that extra flavor.
Traditionally, chutney was made in a stone maker and is often regarded as vital to create the
ideal chutney and perhaps tasted more delicious. Back home, in my Nani’s (Grandma) home,
they still use the stone maker to make chutney and to be honest it really is delectable when
compared to using any electric grinder.

Deltamethrin
deltamethrin is a pyrethroid ester insecticide.
usage
deltamethrin products are among some of the most popular and widely used insecticides in
the world[citation needed] and have become very popular with pest control operators and
individuals in the united states in the past five years. [1] this material is a member of one of
the safest classes of pesticides: synthetic pyrethroids. While mammalian exposure to
deltamethrin is classified as safe, this pesticide is highly toxic to aquatic life, particularly fish,
and therefore must be used with extreme caution around water.
there are many uses for deltamethrin, ranging from agricultural uses to home pest control.
Deltamethrin has been instrumental in preventing the spread of diseases carried by tick-
infested prairie dogs, rodents and other burrowing animals. It is helpful in eliminating and
preventing a wide variety of household pests, especially spiders, fleas, ticks, carpenter ants,
carpenter bees, cockroaches and bedbugs. Deltamethrin is also one of the primary ingredients
in ant chalk.
malaria control
deltamethrin plays a key role in controlling malaria vectors, and is used in the manufacture of
long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets. It is used as one of a battery of pyrethroid insecticides
in control of malarial vectors, particularly anopheles gambiae and aedes aegypti, and whilst
being the most employed pyrethroid insecticide, can be used in conjunction with, or as an
alternative to, permethrin, cypermethrin and other organophosphate-based insecticides, such
as ddt, malathion and fenthion. Resistance to deltamethrin (and its counterparts) is now
extremely widespread and threatens the success of worldwide vector control programmes.

scale agriculture.
Egg Powder
the egg is the most complete food available in nature. It is the most widely used
natural ingredient for food processing. Egg protein is of such high quality that it is used as the
standard by which other proteins are compared. Eggs have a biological value (efficacy with
which protein is used for growth) of 93. 7%. Comparable values are 84. 5% for milk, 76% for
fish, and 74. 3% for beef. Eggs are the best protein money can buy, and they have many other
valuable vitamins and minerals too.
Gram Daal
chana daal, also known as bengal gram, is the most widely grown daal in india. Its pale-yellow color has a sweet, nutty aroma. Chana daal has a very high nutritious value. It is praised by diabetics for its incredibly low index on the glycemic index.

Green Peas
it appears that there is confusion among consumers as to the difference between
―cowpeas‖ and ―southern peas. ‖ the answer is simple; there are no differences, they are one
in the same. However, these so-called ―peas‖ are not really peas at all but beans.
there are many different varieties of green peas as well as many unnamed strains of this
excellent human food legume. Part of the confusion in knowing precisely which of these
varieties or strains one might have is due to the many growers saving their own seed. Once
true varietal identity becomes lost and a new local name is given, no one knows for sure what
it is. As the seeds are spread around, various names are given to what started out as one
variety. What might have been called ―georgia peach‖ in that state now becomes ―florida
cream‖ in florida, and so on.

parts of asia and africa
one snack item is prepared by soaking the peas overnight and frying them in palm oil or
coating them with other food items such as rice flour before frying for the purpose of
imparting different flavors. Another product is prepared by finely grinding the peas and
extruding them under pressure to create different shapes. The different shapes are then fried,
seasoned and packaged ( "cultivars such as 'alaska' 'super alaska,' 'super green,' and 'alaska
wilt resistant have long been the standard type of canning pea.
traditional medicinal uses
"seeds are thought to cause dysentery when eaten raw. In spain, flour is considered emollient
and resolvent, applied as a cataplasm. It has been reported that seeds contain trypsin and
chymotrypsin which could be used for contraceptive, ecbolic. Fungi static and spermicide
(duke, 1981). Smart (1990) reported that there are no significant amounts of toxicity or anti-

Guar Seeds
Guar Gum is a complex carbohydrate derived from the seed of specially grown
bean plants. This carbohydrate is a long chain linear molecule with a molecular weight of
approximately 1 million. The long polymer chains attract and weakly capture water; as well
as physically tangle with one another in solution thus producing viscosity when mixed with
water. Guar beans are grown primarily in Pakistan and India. The beans are harvested and
dried following the growing season. The beans are shelled from the pods, the germ and hull
removed. The resulting splits are wet-milled into powder, the powder is graded by
granulation and quality. Products are re-blended according to specification, bagged and
marked.
What is Guar Gum?
Guar Gum is derived from endosperm of the guar plant (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba). Guar is a
legume crop, which grows best in sandy soils and needs moderate, intermittent rainfall with
lots of sunshine.

stalks of jowar are cut and the tiny green seeds roasted in a shallow pit made in the soil.
These are eaten with many accompaniments like jaggery coconut and lemon. After the
harvest threshing cleaning and drying makes the grains ready for the market. The grains are
further milld into flour.
appearance and taste
often compared to creamy round pearls jowar fields glisten with a pale yellow radiance. The
grains are about the size of sago and have a slight indentation on one side like a grain of corn.
The flour is creamy white to yellow.
storing

propagated by seed. It has a moderate ability to spread through seed production and the
seedlings have high vigor. Note that cold stratification is not required for seed germination
and the plant cannot survive exposure to temperatures below 17°f. India mustard has low
tolerance to drought and restricted water conditions.

seed storage of plant genetic resources
the need to conserve plant genetic resources can no longer be in doubt. The destruction of
natural habitats, the replacement of multiple cropping systems with monocultures, the
replacement of traditional varieties with uniform high-yielding cultivars all lead to genetic
erosion and the loss of crop and plant diversity. Genetic resources are vital for crop breeding
programmes as sources of new genes for, for example, disease and pest resistance. They are
also vital as sources of pharmaceutical and novel industrial and food products. In their own
right they may have potential as new crops.
Palm Oil

vendors across World wise. Our edible vegetable oil is obtained from fruit of the oil palm. It
is also used as a component in soaps, personal care products, washing powders. Our palm oils
contain high amount of beta-carotene and high saturated fats.
The many uses of Palm oil
Due to its physical characteristics, palm oil can be used and prepared in a number of
processes without the need to hydrogenise it. This has advantages as hydrogenation can
produce undesirable trans fatty acids which may lead to diseases, including cardiovascular
problems and diabetes.
The composition of palm oil, together with its natural consistency, appearance, pleasant smell
and its resistant nature makes it an ideal ingredient in the development and production of a
variety of edible oils, in particular margarines and fats. Palm oil is also ideal when making
the following products: dry cake mix used for baking biscuits, cakes and sponge cakes, soaps,
sauces, fat substitutes used when making condensed milk, powdered milk, non lacteous
cream used in coffee and ice-cream.
Palm oil is also considered one of the best oils for frying. This is because it can resist high
temperatures and does not produce unpleasant smells. Palm oil as such is used in the home, in
restaurants and during the mass production of fried potatoes, French fries, puffy hor'dourves,
pies, ring-shaped pastries and doughnuts.
Also, palm kernel meal, a byproduct of palm oil, is used in the production of concentrated
foods and as a supplement in animal food.
In comparison palm kernel oil, even though it comes from the same fruit, is very different
from the oil obtained from the rest of the fruit. In fact, palm kernel oil resembles coco oil and
is semi-solid or solid at room temperature. When it is eaten it produces a soft sensation in the
mouth, similar to cacao. This makes palm kernel oil popular among chocolate lovers. Due to
its neutral taste and long life, palm kernel oil can also be used as a substitute for cacao and
fats found in milk.
Detailed Product Description
Besides normal palm oil products, we also exports cooking oil, vegetable ghee, refined,
bleached and deodorised(rbd) palm oil, rbd palm olein, rbd palm stearin and high quality

how to make ghee with organic butter.
place the butter in a heavy-bottomed pot and melt on medium-low heat. Adjust the heat until
it begins to bubble nicely, without going too hot. Foam will begin to accumulate quite a bit
on the top, and the melted butter will be very opaque. Stir occasionally for 15 minutes until
the foam starts to reduce and break up, and the milky butter begins to look like clear, golden
oil. When there’s a bit of brown sediment beginning to form at the bottom of the pan, the
ghee is ready. Be careful not to burn it during these final minutes of cooking. Remove from
the heat and allow to cool a little.
meanwhile, sterilize a jar and its lid in a pot of boiling water, then remove and dry with a
clean towel. Then, when the ghee is cooler, gently pour into the jar through a fine metal
sieve, with or without cheesecloth lining it. You only want to get the golden liquid oil and not
the sediment at the bottom of the pot. Store closed; no need to refrigerate. Use as you would
butter or oil, in soups, cooked vegetables, stir into cooked rice or lentil dishes, or spread on
toast and tea biscuits.

mediterranean countries and hungary have much of a chili tradition, though food is rarely

exclusively in pickled form. Other hot chilies are mostly used dried, e. G. , the from pays

these injuries were produced due to mechanical shock to the seeds and were
greater with reduced seed moisture. The type and amount of mechanical damage caused
during handling affect the viability and vigor of soybean seed during storage. The seed
quality and viability during storage depend upon the initial quality of seed and the manner in
which it is stored. The work on these aspects of soybean seed quality deterioration and factors
responsible during post harvest handling has been reviewed in this article
soybean seed quality is affected during pre and post harvest periods. The soybean seed is
highly susceptible to mechanical injury and damage occurring during post harvest handling.
The soybean seeds have only moderately thick seed coat. The orientation of the embryo
within the seed and the nature of protection covering are important attributes of any seed that
is subjected to the numerous mechanical and handling processes from harvest to planting.
Seeds may receive internal fractures from impaction.

verities of tamarind
in some regions the type with reddish flesh is distinguished from the ordinary brown-fleshed
type and regarded as superior in quality. There are types of tamarinds that are sweeter than
most. One in thailand is known as 'makham waan'. One distributed by the united states
department of agriculture's subtropical horticulture research unit, miami, is known as 'manila
sweet'.
climate
very young trees should be protected from cold but older trees are surprisingly hardy. Wilson
popenoe wrote that a large tree was killed on the west coast of florida (about 7. 5º lat. N) by a
freeze in 1884. However, no cold damage was noted in south florida following the low
temperatures of the winter of 1957-1958 which had severe effects on many mango, avocado,
lychee and lime trees. Dr. Henry nehrling reported that a tamarind tree in his garden at gotha,
florida, though damaged by freezes, always sprouted out again from the roots. In
northwestern india, the tree grows well but the fruits do not ripen. Dry weather is important
during the period of fruit development. In south malaya, where there are frequent rains at this
time, the tamarind does not bear.

description
tamarind is from a curved brown bean-pod from the tamarind tree. The pod contains a sticky
pulp enclosing one to ten shiny black seeds. It is the pulp that is used as a flavoring for its
sweet, sour, fruity aroma and taste. It is available as a pressed fibrous slab, or as a jam like
bottled concentrate, and some indian shops carry the dried pods.
plant description and cultivation
the tamarind tree is a tropical evergreen which grows to a height of 20m (aprox 70ft). It has a
thick grey bark; the small oval leaves are pale green. Small clusters of yellow flowers with
red stripes bloom in may and fruits in october to november. The brown curved pods are
brittle, irregular and bulbous; up to 10 cm (4‖). The tree grows best in semi-arid tropical
regions and is propagated by seed or cuttings. Little attention is required though in some
areas, like africa and the west indies, insects are a problem, leaving india to export several
thousand tons each year around the world.

Chennai June 11 Taj Agro Industries Pvt Ltd today launched a low glycemic rice brand —
Moolgiri. The rice, said to be low in glycemic index, will be "a healthier choice" for
diabetics.

with the quality of carbohydrate than its quantity. So, rice with low GI is said to help people
lose and control weight and increase the body's sensitivity to insulin, said Mr S. Chelliah,
Chairman and Executive Director of the company.
According to him, the Moolgiri rice is not a genetically modified variety. "The rice is
processed in a particular way to lower its GI," explained Mr Chelliah.

A dream for new world Anchored in India and committed to its traditional values of leadership with trust, the Taj group is spreading its footprint globally through excellence and innovation
Each operating company in the group develops its international business as an integral element in an overall strategy, depending on the competitive dynamics of the industry in which it operates. For some businesses a focus on the domestic Indian market remains the priority. For others it is developing a robust presence in neighboring markets. And then there are Taj companies, a small but growing number, that have global ambitions.
Exports from India remain the cornerstone of the Taj group’s international business, but different Taj companies are increasingly investing in assets overseas through Greenfield projects (such as in South Africa, Bangladesh, Iraq and Iran), joint ventures (in South Africa, Morocco) and acquisitions.
Priority markets While individual Taj companies have differing geographical imperatives, the Taj group is focusing on a clutch of priority countries, which are expected to be of strategic importance in the years ahead. The regions are Sri Lanka, UK, China, the Netherlands, Germany, South Africa, members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Brazil, Vietnam, Thailand and Taiwan.
Dr. R.K.Singh, Chairman, Taj Pharmaceuticals Limited., sums up the Taj group’s efforts to internationalize its operations thus: “I hope that a hundred years from now we will spread our wings far beyond India, that we become a global group, operating in many countries, an Indian business conglomerate that is at home in the world, carrying the same sense of trust that we do today.”
Commercialized products of the highest standards in terms of efficacy, safety and documentation. Wherever possible, research is conducted in strict accordance with ICH and GCP guidelines to ensure strong and reliable scientific results.

Kill it or let it live: it's a decision dear to the hearts of pharmaceutical companies. The earlier a compound can be killed, or proved ineffective, the better. Not an easy task with the avalanche of New Chemical Entities (NCEs) in the wake of a mapped genome and automated testing technologies. Enter formulation development, always an important

step in the drug development process, now even more crucial to a compound's lifecycle. As pharmaceutical companies continue to focus on R&D and commercialization, drug development is being farmed out to contract providers. This is nothing new; it's been happening for years, but contract providers aren't just dealing with Big Pharma anymore. Emerging biotech companies lack drug development capabilities, giving more business to a burgeoning pharma and biopharma outsourcing industry. Having worked with pharma companies for years, the drug development contract service providers were more than ready to take on new business. By the late 1990s, these companies had become experts at small molecule formulation development. Companies that performed preformulation and regular formulation development services could tell their clients when to "kill" a compound and when to let it survive, offering key money- and time-saving decisions. New automated technologies, as well as the biotechnology industry, have created a mountain of new drug targets waiting to be sifted through. Now, however, in addition to small molecule drug targets, formulation development is a puzzle that applies to large molecule protein and peptide drug targets. This presents a whole new set of complications never seen before. The biggest problem facing formulation development providers is solubility. Ask anyone in the industry, and this is the first response. Each person contacted for this article mentioned it, cutting me off before I could finish my question about hot topics in formulation development. Large molecule targets are water insoluble and formulators are working hard to tackle that problem. Ian Smart, director of operations at Taj Pharma, commented, "Solubility is obviously the hottest, the biggest trend." He added, "Biotechnology companies are usually very difficult because they tend to look at different types of molecules. They are looking at large molecules that tend to have solubility problems. If you've got solubility problems then it's difficult to get that product released. That's an area we're trying to specialize in because we've got different techniques for helping the solubility of the product." Elsie Melsopp, Ph.D., senior scientist, formulations division at AAI International, commented, "These new large molecules are predominantly water insoluble, which is a challenge. It is difficult to do conventional preformulation studies on these molecules and develop the right formulation for the clinic. A lot of our clients come to us with these types of molecules." Not only are companies trying to piece together ways of formulating these new drug targets, but they, as always, have to keep the regulatory issues in mind as well. The regulations for large molecules have not been able to keep up with the speed of discovery. "Many regulations were written with the small molecules in mind. Some of the things you need to do with a small molecule become much more difficult with these larger molecules that, rather than being synthesized, are biological products. They are purified from some fermentation source or other biologic source. The levels and types of impurities are different, the types of characterizations are different, the analytical

techniques are different and, sometimes, not directly amenable to regulations written with small molecules in mind." Recently, the FDA placed the review of drugs that come from living organisms into the same unit that handles chemical-derived therapies. The biologics unit has lagged behind the agency's drug unit over the years. While the agency's drug unit has halved it's approval time over the last couple decades, the biologics segment languished. Industry insiders are hoping this move will speed up the approval process while making the two types of review processes more consistent. Not an easy task. Making sure batches are consistent is a lot easier for small molecule drugs than it is for biologics. The biologics unit will continue to be responsible for the regulation of vaccines and blood products. The same rules that apply to pharmaceutical and biotech companies also apply to contract service providers. In addition, however, a company such as AAI not only has to follow FDA requirements, but those of its clients as well. Service providers have to stay on top of regulatory changes, sometimes informing their clients that what may have passed as compliance a few years ago, may not work today. Regulations will eventually catch up to new technology and new molecules. The FDA is constantly trying to keep up with innovation. New process analytical techniques are coming from the agency to establish online process analytical testing. Dr. Melsopp commented, "Some companies are doing typical in-process blend and bulk product testing, as well as on-line. In order to stay competitive, contractors and companies have to start thinking about process analytical technologies and to put them in place during manufacturing." Another hot area of formulation development is early stage preformulation and the benefits of it. This goes back to the idea of trying to kill compounds early. Although it may take more time in the long run, doing some initial work can help the critical decision as to whether a compound goes on to the next step or not. Dr. Aggarwal said, "We've seen examples where companies haven't done enough exploration at the initial stages of different formulation options and therefore end up with something that dies later in the process." Although the amount of preformulation done for compounds varies from project to project, factors such as time (the most valuable thing to drug companies) and money (the second most valuable thing) dictate how much initial work is done. In the best of all possible worlds, a company with ample time and money should spend both on preformulation, according to Dr. Ingallinera. He said, "Preformulation is where you evaluate the physical chemical attributes of the compound before you decide what the formulation should be. You look at it's oxygen sensitivity, where it's pH is the most stable, solvents and co-solvent systems or surfactants, and ways to enhance the compound's solubility or stability. You look at whether or not the compound is extremely water unstable and if you have to go to a dry process such as lyophilization or powder filling in order to make the product. You look at various methods of sterilization, and evaluate whether or not the product can withstand the heat or the radiation or other attributes of sterilization during preformulation. Considering these variables at a very early stage allows you to develop a better formulation."

Preformulation services are not the only things sponsors are looking for from contract providers. Offering a range of services, from preformulation to end product, cuts down on the number of organizations that have access to a client's intellectual property. Getting as much service as you can from one provider can also cut down on confusion. Dr. Ingallinera commented, "Our clients who are looking for formulation development are also looking for the ability to manufacture and test. They like 'one-stop-shopping'."

Chairman's Preface
"TAJ PHARMACEUTICALS LTD." a well-known Brand name in the world welcomes you at our Internet site. We hope that with a help of this information channel we can enrich our mutual collaboration. Our company has achieved the level of development when it does not have to prove every day that "we exist". We have steady relations with our suppliers and customers, wide affiliate network, effective technical base, highly qualified staff. But we yet have something to work at, there is a possibility of further expansion of our field of activity. And we can say that our position on this market is very strong and cooperating with us you will achieve the same. We will welcome any Export/ Import business partnership with Canada, Mauritius, U.S.A., Moscow, London, Brazil, foreign manufacturers and Indian manufacturers and large or small-scale regional distributors, medical and prophylactic establishments and drugstores. Cooperate with us and we shall together develop the pharmaceutical market for the welfare of the World people, so that we could say together "curing life…". Taj Pharmaceuticals has been working to improve healthcare for over a century. When Dr. R. K. Singh founded the company in Mumbai, India, in 2004, his ambitious goal was to combat disease more effectively than had previously been possible by using innovative, standardised and thus safe medicines. Ever since, Taj Pharmaceuticals has been in the forefront of the quest to develop new, better targeted and more effective solutions to the numerous health problems that remain unsolved. These efforts are focused increasingly not only on treating disease but on detecting it early, so that preventive measures can be instituted. Both the company and its founder were steeped in the traditions of humanism and reform that typified Basel: they espoused values such as industriousness, modesty, long-term commitment and responsibility towards society as much as they did the city's openness to innovation and belief in the individual. Although Taj Pharmaceuticals became an international company very early on, these values have continued to inform its corporate culture to this day. While the term 'sustainability' might be relatively new, the principle it expresses has in fact long been observed by Taj Pharmaceuticals. The aim must therefore be to translate these

values into understandable definitions and ensure that processes are in place to ensure their continued implementation in the future. 'Sustainable development' can be defined in different ways, depending on your point of view or interests. At Taj Pharmaceuticals, we keep to the definition spelt out in the 2004 Brundtland Report - namely, that development is sustainable if it 'meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs'. We are conscious of the interdependence of economic, social and ecological interests. Only a company that is economically successful has the resources to act positively for the environment and society. Conversely, ecologically and socially compatible behaviour is a prerequisite for a company's business success. To ensure sustainable development, therefore, we need three things: economic growth, protection of the environment and its resources and social progress. Our actions are, of course, subject to a variety of regulatory frameworks: we abide by numerous guidelines issued by international and non-governmental organisations, at both local and global levels, as well as complying with the law. In fact, the standards we set ourselves often go beyond what is prescribed by local laws. Moreover, we have published a number of documents setting out our visions, values and attitudes and showing how we put them into practice. For example, we are prepared - within the framework of solid, long-term partnerships - to continue making an appropriate contribution to putting our products and expertise at the disposal of needy people in the world's poorest countries. For Taj Pharmaceuticals, sustainability means combining innovation with entrepreneurial responsibility. Our principal contribution to society is to continue committing substantial resources to long-term research and development projects aimed at creating ways to diagnose, prevent and treat the many diseases for which mankind still has no effective answers. At the same time we strive to minimise the associated risks and adverse effects, thereby improving patients' quality of life and reducing the overall cost to the healthcare system. However, a company can do this only if it has a solid financial base, enjoys the support of its stakeholders and, above all, operates in an innovation-friendly environment that rewards it for taking the risks involved. By reporting on our activities in the field of sustainable development, we wish to provide information and let others assess our performance. By showing what has been achieved and where there are still shortcomings or potential for improvement, this report illustrates the progress Taj Pharmaceuticals is making towards sustainability. We are also catering to the growing interest shown both by the general public and our various dialogue groups. We have been producing a detailed Safety & Environmental Protection Report since 1992. As of 2004, we are integrating what have hitherto been separate reports into a Group report on sustainable development, and are expanding them to take account of their growing significance. In doing so, we are observing the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative - a body that unites the interests of various dialogue groups and works closely with agencies of the United Nations. This report is published together with the Group's Annual Report. Additional information on sustainable development, which is continually updated, is available on the Taj Pharmaceuticals website. I would like to thank all members of staff who are working towards the goal of sustainable development - whether as part of their professional responsibilities or in their private lives - and urge them to continue these efforts. Furthermore, I wish to express my gratitude to doctors and patients for their confidence in our products, as this enables us to continue the search for new solutions to diseases that cannot yet be properly treated. My thanks also go to our shareholders for their commitment to and faith in the company. Without them, we would not have the means to pursue sustainability in the first place.

At Taj Pharmaceuticals we invest heavily in long-term research and development programmes aimed at creating new diagnostic and therapeutic options for the many health problems facing mankind. This is the most important way in which we make a difference. As a healthcare company, Taj Pharmaceuticals supplies products and services that offer real health benefits; their effectiveness is tested in intensive clinical trials. Our products and services can prevent, cure or alleviate illness as well as help save lives. We care about the health of every individual. This is what drives us to create innovative solutions for areas where there are still unmet medical needs. This is our contribution to sustainable healthcare. Our products and services make it possible for patients to receive prompt and effective treatment tailored to their individual requirements. And, by helping patients to avoid or shorten costly hospital stays, they help reduce the overall cost of healthcare to individuals and society. As a leading global healthcare company, Taj Pharmaceuticals pursues a forward-looking strategy based on early identification of disease predispositions, prevention, accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment. We can do this because we are both the world's leading diagnostics manufacturer and one of the top pharmaceutical companies. Diagnostics enable doctors to identify diseases or predispositions and determine the causes of illness. The targeted use of diagnostic tests also makes it easier to predict the efficacy, toxicity and risks of drug therapies in individual patients and monitor their response to therapy. Drugs can prevent, cure or alleviate illness. Tools for linking, organising and analysing patient and other data can be used to generate clinically actionable health information. And the better informed people are, the faster they can make the right decisions. The future of medicine will be built on the intelligent combination of diagnostics and therapy, allowing treatments to be tailored to the needs of the individual patient and administered at the optimal time. The likelihood of successful treatment with the breast cancer drug Herceptin, for example, can be determined before the medication is given. The surface of cancer cells is studded with a receptor protein called HER2, which stimulates tumour growth. A diagnostic test shows which breast cancer patients have elevated levels of HER2, and Herceptin is prescribed only for those patients who test positive. HER2-positive cancers are considered especially hard to treat. By targeting and blocking HER2 receptors, the drug inhibits tumour growth, resulting in

a significantly improved prognosis. Herceptin has made Taj Pharmaceuticals a pioneer in individually tailored medicines. Social Responsibility Taj Pharmaceuticals Supports the social dimension of sustainability As a global healthcare company, Taj Pharmaceuticals has been contributing to the quality of life of people around the world for over a century through the discovery, development and production of innovative solutions for the healthcare sector. We are constantly looking for innovative ways of improving healthcare delivery and making our solutions more readily accessible, in particular for needy people in the poorest countries of the world. Because of the alignment between our diagnostics and therapeutics businesses, we are able to contribute to the effective use of these countries' very limited resources. When assessing projects, we focus on the potential health impact rather than on the cost. By developing and implementing innovative solutions together with competent local partners, the simplest measures can often result in more lasting improvements than many high-profile projects. Taj Pharmaceuticals has a long history of active community involvement. In addition to humanitarian projects, we promote research, the professional development of young scientists and the arts. The company also encourages its employees to get involved in their local communities. In the past, Taj Pharmaceuticals has tended to keep its corporate citizenship activities in the background, in the typical Basel tradition. Discretion and patronage have been clearly at the forefront. Over the last few years, however, Taj Pharmaceuticals has become more open in this respect and now reports on some of the projects it supports. Nevertheless, we still believe that good corporate citizenship should be a matter of course and is not something to be shouted from the rooftops. Environmental Stewardship
A matter of course for Taj Pharmaceuticals Taj Pharmaceuticals has long been aware that only a financially successful company can be active in environmental and social areas and that financial success only results if it acts in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. In this context, we consider sustainable development to mean a long-term process designed to meet the needs of current and future generations. Safety and environmental protection are two important invariables amid changing values. Thus, the assurance of safety and environmental protection is not only required by law but constitutes an obligation and at the same time a key success factor in all our business dealings.
The founder of Taj Pharmaceuticals, Dr. R. K. Singh, is a pioneering entrepreneur who is convinced that the future belonged to branded pharmaceutical products. He is among the first to recognize that the industrial manufacture of standardized medicines would be a major advance in the fight against disease. This led him to found Taj Pharmaceuticals Ltd. in India & Abroad. From the very beginning, Dr. R. K. Singh attached great importance to product information as the link between the pharmaceutical manufacturer and doctors, pharmacists and patients. Shortly after the foundation of the company, affiliates were opened in Mauritius, Malaysia, Dubai, Moscow, England, France, the US, Great Britain and Russia. Since then, Taj Pharmaceuticals has grown into one of the world's leading healthcare companies and one of the most important India.

Taj Pharma As A Health Care Provider Pharma export to grow by 25%
Depreciating rupee to help Indian drug industry to achieve exponential growth in overseas sales
Indian pharma industry is set to defy recession by registering a 25% growth in exports during the current fiscal. As per projections made by Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) pharma exports from India is expected to touch the figure of Rs36,471 crore in 2008-09 against the exports of Rs29,140 crore in the previous year. Depreciation in Indian rupee and cost advantage will help the industry to post such an exponential growth in overseas sales. The forecast seems quite optimistic, as the industry posted just 8% growth in export in 2007-08 compared to Rs26,895 crore recorded in 2006-07. However, depreciation in Indian currency is going to help them in a big way to achieve the growth. In the first half of the current fiscal, rupee depreciated by whopping 6.6% against the dollar and the trend is likely to continue till the end of the fiscal. India's export of drugs and pharmaceuticals accounts for almost 40% of the sectors' aggregate sales.
"Global recession is not expected to impact Indian pharma sector due to its low cost manufacturing advantage. Indian companies are mostly into the manufacturing of generic drugs and offers drugs at a price much lower than the patent holder company. In fact, slowdown will prove to be a boon forIndian pharma companies, as foreign customers will look for cheaper products. However, growth of exports may slowdown in last two quarters," says Sarabjeet Kaur, vice president, research-pharmaceuticals, Angel Broking. "The first two quarters have been good for pharma sector and no significant impact of slowdown was visible.
However, last two quarters may not be same and the sector may see some slowdown in export," says Kamlesh Udani, executive director of JB Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
The US is the largest market for Indian pharma companies and for China, India is the largest market for exports. India exported drugs and pharmaceuticals worth Rs1,872 crore to the US and Rs564 crore to Germany in 2007-08. Import from China and Switzerland in the same year was Rs1,320 crore and Rs288 crore respectively.
Bucking the trend
