The Name:
The word „Biscuit‟ is derived from the Latin word „Bis‟ (meaning
„twice‟) and „Coctus‟ (meaning „cooked or baked‟). The word „Biscotti‟ is also
the generic term for cookies in Italian. Again Biscuit derived its name from the
French word meaning „twice backed bread‟; Biscuits in general have a good
shelf life, which is higher than all other snack items in the market.
India is the second largest producer of Biscuits in the world after the
USA. But still the per capita consumption is only 2.4 KG per year of developed
countries. As per the latest survey done by N.C.A.E.R 49% of biscuits are
consumed in rural areas. The penetration of biscuits into households stands at a
average of 83.2% with the rural penetration at 77% and urban penetration at
88%.
Biscuits are reserved for the small scale sector but they are strong
possibilities of the industry being deserved in line with the Government policy
of liberalization.

Haryana and Neemrana in Rajasthan are the largest biscuit and confectionery
plants in the country. The factory in Mumbai was the first to be setup followed
soon by the one in Bangalore, Karnataka. Parle products also have 14
manufacturing units for biscuits and five manufacturing units for
confectioneries, on contract.
Some of our best habits, as we said, are also our oldest. Many of them
date back to the last decade of the 19th century. It was in the 1880‟s that the late
Mohanlal Dayal came to Bombay from his village Pardi, in the district of Surat,
to work as a dusting boy at a silk merchant‟s. What a long way that bright little
boy came! First, the hard apprenticeship and the graduation to Master Cutter,
then the elite tailoring establishment that eventually developed into a wholesale
business to finally, the new business in confections and biscuits. Always, the
accent was on self-sufficiency. Mohanlal Dayal was not just a progressive and
astute businessman. He never gave in to the sense of indifference that often
comes with the commercial outlook. All through his life, he was deeply
conscious of his duties towards society and the community. He built the Shri
Mohanlal Dayal Prasuti Graha and General Hospital in Pardi, which is
maintained through charity trusts set up by him. The Shri Mohanlal Dayal
Sanatorium and Hostel at Matunga in Bombay is another such institution. In his
memory and after his example, his sons have donated significant sums to set up
the Chauhan Institute of Science at Vile Parle. Parle Centre of Excellence, as an
