3.1 Introduction
Kolhapur is situated in the southwest corner of Maharashtra and shares its

eastern and southern border with the state of Karnataka. Kolhapur serves as a
headquarter of the Kolhapur district. Kolhapur is connected to major Indian cities like
Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Bangalore, etc. Kolhapur is one of the fastest growing
cities in Maharashtra and is one of the highest per capita income cities in India. The
city is a hub for industry, comprising over 1000 energy-intensive industries covering
different sectors. These industries comprise mainly of automotive, foundries,
engineering spares, sugar industries and textile mills. There are nine industrial estates
in Kolhapur, of which three are Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporations
(MIDC) and six are corporate industrial estates. Several large Indian companies have
established recently in Kolhapur like Kirloskar Oil Engines, Vardhaman Textiles,
Raymond Textiles, Menon Group, Gokul Milk etc.
Kolhapur district blessed with fertile soil and watered by 14 rivers was
traditionally an agro-based economy. The second and third decades of the 20th century
witnessed Kolhapur coming to the forefront in sugarcane cultivation and downstream
jiggery manufacture became a major industry. Improved methods and appliances
came into demand and oil engines were found to be more efficient. Cane crushers
made of steel became popular and were imported from England. In course of time,
routine wear and tear created a demand for replacement parts, and framers went to
Kolhapur city, where skilled craftsmen, normally employees of machinery traders
reconditioned them. Thus, a large business for repair of cane crushers emerged in
Kolhapur. The outbreak of Second World War in 1939 further propelled growth of the
146
domestic engineering industry. The supply routes by sea were disrupted and
increasing cane production pushed up the demand for agricultural machinery and oil
engines. The skilled labour then began to make spare parts for imported machinery
and subsequently, simple agricultural implements, oil engines soon became the
mainstay of industrial activity in Kolhapur. As industrial activity grew, Shivaji
Udyamnagar was established and given land for promoting industrial activity. At this
time, Kolhapur Engineering Association was allotted land and the industrial base of
Kolhapur came up through a co-operative effort. The growth of the local agricultural
machinery and oil engines industry created the need for locally available castings.
This led to the emergence of the foundry industry in Kolhapur. The post independence
period saw continued growth of the oil engine industry which required cast
components and several foundries started after 1960. Today, Kolhapur is an
established foundry cluster, renowned for manufacturing quality castings in India. In
fact, some large corporate including Reliance Industries has invested in foundry
industries of Kolhapur.1
In this present phase the researcher has covered the different types of
company’s i.e. sole proprietorship, partnership firm, PVT. Ltd. firms for the study.
While presenting the company profile the researcher has considered the variables like
name of the firm, address, year of establishment, constitution, gross turnover, net
profit, accounting system, audit conducted, initial cost of the project and capital
employed at present. It was found that it is very lengthy to express these variables for
each and every sample units in descriptive form. For that purpose the researcher has
presented the profile of the sample units in the tabular form for easy reference by
using less space. Also the researcher has covered special important types of
productions, varieties of production, market area and special features of the firm
below the table in short. This is done by the researcher to maintain the uniformity in
the presentation of company profile. In the present study the researcher has covered
the four industrial estates for the study; these industrial estates are Shivaji
Udyamnagar, Shiroli MIDC, Gokul Shirgaon MIDC and Kagal Five Star MIDC.
Among these four industrial estates researcher has selected 15 manufacturing units
from one industrial estate, here the brief profile of all 60 sample manufacturing units
are given below.

Kolhapur district blessed with fertile soil and watered by 14 rivers, has
traditionally an agro based economy. In the second and third decade of the 20th
century Kolhapur coming to the forefront in the field of sugarcane cultivation and
downstream jiggery manufacturing. In that time cane crushers was made by steel and
were imported from England. In course of time, routine wear and tear created a
demand for replacement parts, and farmers went to Kolhapur city, where skilled
148
craftsmen, normally employees of machinery traders reconditioned them. Second
World War outbreak in 1939 and disturbed the routine supply of the steel crusher
hence skilled persons then began to make first spare parts for imported machinery. As
the production of sugar cane goes on increases the demand for oil engines came in
light. With this industrial activity Shivaji Udyamnagar was established in the year
1947 and given land for promoting industrial activity. The fourth and fifth decades of
the 20th century saw several progressive entrepreneurs including S. Yashwant, Y.P.
Powar, Mirasaheb Hudli, Gadre, Samani and C. Menon emerge and ensure rapid
growth of the Kolhapur engineering and foundry industry. In Shivaji Udyamnagar as
the foundry business was grown up there is need occurs for machine and fabrication
industries. Now the machine and fabrication industries were also developed in last
three decade. Now Shivaji Udyamnagar is come in the centre of the city and
surrounding area is blocked by residential people and there is no scope of expansion
for any business.
