• Lysine is important for proper growth and it plays an essential role in the production of carnitine, a nutrient responsible for converting fatty acids into energy and helping to lower cholesterol.
• Lysine appears to help the body absorb and conserve calcium and it plays an important role in the formation of collagen, a substance important for bones and connective tissues including skin, tendon, and cartilage.
•  Lysine is available in tablets, capsules, creams, and liquids, and is usually sold in the L-lysine form.
• Lysine is present in Molasses, Corn & many other natural food products

There is no known production of L-Lysine in India at present.

The possible reason for absence of capacity is the non availability of commercially proven indigenous technology and the prohibitive cost of acquisition of technology from abroad for low capacity project.

Molasses based products namely Lactic acid, L-Lysine, Gluconic acid, Glutamic acid, Itaconic acid of high importance to India
Indigenous process technology efforts for L-Lysine have been inadequate. As of now, the country is dependent upon global source of technology for setting up L-Lysine project immediately
Internationally, the historic leaders in products such as Lysine, Lactic acid and Glutamic acid/MSG are companies with long experience in operating fermentors
Plant with 20000 tonnes capacity will be able to bridge the demand supply gap.
