India definitely is bracing itself for sweeter times as the economy is gearing up for hyperdrive under Mr.Narendra Modi?s leadership.

When, Mr.PRADEEP KUMAR ASTHANA, Ex Army Officer and Managing Director, KAMUNA SUGAR LIMITED went to meet the Chief Minister Shri.Yogiji, as he is fondly called and was appraised of the problems of the electrical transformer being 11Kms away from the sugar factory. All it took was a phone call to the Divisional Engineer to rectify the problem. A new transformer has been approved bang opposite the sugar plant. This kind of efficiency has hitherto never been seen or heard in Uttar Pradesh. This definitely sparks of some real sweet and great times ahead for the largest state in India.

Kamuna Sugar Limited, a sugar manufacturing company with current crushing capacity of 5000 TCD in India?s largest sugar producing state Uttar Pradesh seems to be getting a sweet deal from two sources. Its currently signing an agreement to avail US$ 93 Mn as long term asset backed debt from Linetrust International Offshore Limited of the UK backed by a close ended trust fund from the UK. Ms.Seeme Mukhtar, Director, Linetrust responsible for the BRIC Economies, says, ?The dawn of a new era in the Indian economic scenario is being witnessed and the whole worldis watching this awesome transformation. India along withthe other BRIC nations stand to change the world dynamics. We at linetrust will walk the talk in the Make in India campaign launched by Mr.Modi. In the first of its endeavours, Kamuna Sugar could well be one of the leaders in the Indian Sugarcrushing space.?

Hopefully companies will be able to benefit from the remonitisation drives conducted by the government which should funnel higher margins and higher revenues.? For their untiring efforts the duo are being proposed for induction into the linetrust board as directors and members. The proposal for acceptance is already being tabled in the half yearlyAGM.

Mr.Asthana says, ?Our biggest impediment has always been power and low cost finance.
