About ICCSIR
With the desire to gratify and fulfill the vision of our Honourable Prime Minister’s vision of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharata Abhiyan’; the Excel Industries, Pidilite Industries Ltd (PIL) and Mamata group have together formed a unique consortium with a unified interest to build a technologically competitive and viable platform for the production and processing of selected seaweeds of commercial interest.
Our major objective is to gain the associated economic and ecological benefits to the coastal communities. On 22nd October a pilot model for land based cultivation has been formally launched at Mundra. The benefits of developing and promoting an indigenous seaweed industry are manifold, ranging from societal development, employment generation, an ocean-based industry, import substitute and export potential.
