Foreign Entity's Registration with Indian Railways
Overview
The global community has become more aware of the practices and benefits of reusing and recycling. As a result, the world is shifting towards more sustainable products in industrial applications. Plastics industry is one such domain, where the transition is taking place from commodity plastics to engineering plastics.
Engineering plastics are a category of plastics that possess a unique combination of properties, enabling them to perform effectively in structural applications, over a wide range of temperatures, under mechanical stress, and different chemical environments. Moreover, they are impact and abrasion resistant. Engineering plastics have replaced the traditional engineering materials such as metals, glass and ceramics in several applications. The major reason for this shift is the rising quest for miniaturisation, innovation in electronics, and light-weight automobiles. The product segment has various industrial applications such as, automobiles, electronics, mechanical equipment, medical equipment, and chemical industry.
