Aiming to boost the silk industry in Uttar Pradesh, the Yogi Adityanath government has launched an initiative to establish multi-end reeling units in Maharajganj, Basti, Saharanpur and Auraiya.
The Sericulture Development department has started the procurement process for 10 basin units within these reeling units.
This procurement process will be completed by a contractor agency appointed by the Sericulture Development department. The contractor agency will be required to deliver and install all these units in the designated districts within 90 days of the allocation of work.
Additionally, the applications invited by the Sericulture department primarily prioritise companies registered with the Directorate of Industries and Enterprise Promotion and the National Small Industries Corporation to fulfill this task.
In a multi-end reeling unit, various machinery components are included under the base units. Currently, the Sericulture department is in the process of procuring 10 basin units. These basin units will be equipped with a 50-kg capacity hot air dryer, cocoon sorting table, two pan tables for the brushing process, circular pressurised cocoon cooking and vacuum pre-emission pre-treatment equipment.
Additionally, in each basin multi-end reeling machine (10 ends per basin), the window closed time re-reeling machine (5 ends per window), the small reel permeation centre, and electronic balance with a 600-gram capacity and 0.01-gram sensitivity will also be included.
Furthermore, it will be equipped with a 7.5 KVA capacity generator, a 100 kg steam output per hour capacity IBR quality boiler, and a 100 kg resin capacity water softener. Through all these components, essential cocoon extraction, processing and reeling processes for silk production can be completed.
According to Chief Minister Yogi’s vision, the procurement, installation and operation process for multi-end reeling units in Maharajganj, Basti, Saharanpur and Auraiya has been allocated a validity period of 180 days. The contractor agency must deliver and install all these units within a working period of 90 days after the assignment.
Notably, priority is being given to companies registered with the Directorate of Industries and Enterprise Promotion and the National Small Industries Corporation to complete this process as contractors. They are also being granted concessions in the earnest money deposit (EMD).
