Manufacturing of jewellery through investment casting process has become very popular all over the world. In developed countries and also in most of the Far-East countries manufacturers of gold and silver jewellery are using this process irrespective of their scale of production. It is catching up very fast in India as well and almost all of the factories situated in various Export Promotion zones have based their manufacturing on casting process only. This works out to be the best option as it employs the capabilities of machine for quantity and excellence of artisans for quality production.besides this, chains also form a very important part of jewellery and apart from being used as an independent jewellery product, they are used as part of other products as well. This profile has been drawn to set-up a modern jewellery manufacturing unit .

The total installed capacity of the project is estimated to be 30000 Kgs. of jewellery. Capacity utilization has been estimated as under:

No specific location has been proposed for this project as it can be set up in any industrial or commercial area having specific security. The cost of land for the present profile has been taken @ Rs. 650.00 per sq. meter for a plot of 2000 sq. meter and only one floor of building has been proposed to be built. But considering the cost of land at a higher rate at certain places, the same project can be set up on a smaller plot of land with a multi-floor construction.
