Majority of the industries are based in Bengaluru (Bangalore).  There are other pockets of 

concentration in other parts  of the country.  There is huge demand for Agarbatti in 

domestic as well as in international market.

Agarbattis” also known as “Incense Sticks” are made from aromatic plants and essential oils extracted from plants or animal sources. When lightened, they release fragrant smoke 

which is used in religious activities, prayers, therapeutic and aesthetic purposes. These have been used since times 

immemorial as an integral part of Hindu deity worship In India. There are about 10,000 agarbatti manufacturing units in the country including tiny, small and medium, besides another 200 well-established ones having over 50 branded agarbattis. Nearly 12 lakh people are directly or indirectly employed by the industry. India is exporting a wide range of  agarbattis or incense sticks that have natural, exotic fragrances extracted from jasmine, sandalwood (chandan) and rose. The incense sticks are packed in attractive packaging.    

The  agarbatti industry depends heavily on forest products for raw materials—a 

natural advantage since nature has bestowed upon it vast expense of forests.Capexcil (formerly known as Basic Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals and  Cosmetics Export Promotion Council) functioning under the aegis of Ministry of Commerce and industry, Government of India over the  years has been playing an important role in promoting exports of agarbattis from the country. Besides, ITC’s incense sticks 

business launched as part of its strategic  initiative to create multiple 

drivers of growth in fast moving consumer goods sector (FMCG), company  in marketing and 

distribution, brand building, supply 

chain management and paperboard 

and packaging to offer Indian 

consumers high quality agarbattis. 

The company marketing  agarbattis

under the “Mangaldeep” brand 

through 5 lakh retail outlets in the 

country has doubled volumes from 50 

million sticks per month to 100 million 

sticks now. The company continues to upgrade the manufacture of  agarbattis  by villagers and small scale manufacturers.

These agarbattis are available in ‘fragrance locked packets’, Fragrance-locking’ is a unique concept of  packaging which helps to retain the 

fragrance for a longer period. Through its participation in the business, ITC aims to enhance the competitiveness of the small and medium-scale sectors through its complementary R&D based product development and distribution. In pursuance of its abiding social commitment, the company continues to partner with small and medium enterprises to help them raise their quality and process standards.

The business continues its collaboration with various NGOs in Bihar, Karnataka, Pondicherry and Tamil Nadu to provide vocational opportunities to rural youth and economically disadvantaged women in keeping with the company’s commitment.  ITC is also supporting an “Agarbatti Community Participation Programme” run by the Vyakti Vikas Kendra, a non-profit organization funded by the renowned spiritual guru Sri Ravishankar and located near Bangalore. Over 100 village women are gaining from the training that this organization imparts in rolling  agarbattis.
