Abbreviation: AIRPMA


Write-up:
AIRPMA was born with eight founder members, formed primarily as a service institution, to promote the consumption of FRP in India, it continues to be active.

The Association makes representations to the Government on various points like Central Excise, it clarifies Categorisation of products and tries to achieve uniformity of Excise rates. It also takes up any problems faced by moulders vis-a-vis Government Duties and Regulations. Since the prices of raw materials in the country rose to the point where they are approx. 30-35% higher than that of foreign products, the Association even arranges for the import of the raw matenais.

Highlight of the Association
• It has received Government recognition.
• The President of the Association has been nominated to the TIFAC-RCI-PMB
(Technology Information Forecasting and Assessment Council, Research Centre Immarat
Project Management Board).
• The President of the Association has also been nominated to the RV TIFAC Composite
Design Centre, Bangalore.
• It assists and works with Government agencies-particularly D.S.T. (Dept. of Science &
Technology) and also with ISAMPE (Indian Society for Advancement of Materials and Process Engineering) to organise Seminars and Workshops at various places, to propagate the use of FRP in India and to tackle the problems facing the FRP Industry India.

The association also organises Exhibitions, Seminars and Workshops etc. and disseminates information via a Monthly Newsletter to its members, ensuring that Indian moulders are kept up-to-date on the latest trends and development in FRP, and can thus confidently take their place in the worldwide FRP market.

The 32 year old All India Reinforced Plastic Moulders' Association, dedicated to the promotion of Fibre Reinforced Composites (FRP) organises mega events, to increase the awareness amongst end users including Chemicals & Fertilizers, Railways, Marine, Electrical/Electronics, Nuclear, Aerospace, Defence, Oil & Natural Gas and Agriculture. This gives a great fillip to the 1200 moulders, in general and 3000 moulders in the small scale sectors spread all over the country.
