Business in Rudrapur
Until the early 2000s this was a Terai market town; the SIDCUL industrial estate at Pantnagar then made Rudrapur one of Uttarakhand's main manufacturing centres. Commercial-vehicle, two-wheeler and tractor assembly plants, their component suppliers, and food, beverage and packaging units now sit beside a farming economy of rice, wheat and sugarcane, with the GB Pant agricultural university at Pantnagar.
Where software helps: Vendors supplying assembly plants at Pantnagar must meet daily delivery schedules, track part-wise stock held at customer stores, and reconcile debit notes for rejections and price changes every month.
