X, is a company owned and operated by the Government of Karnataka. The company was started by (Maharaja) Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar in 1937. In 1962, X was selected to manufacture Y for Z. X is the only company in India authorised to produce Y. Y is supplied in vials having volumes of 5 ml, 7.5 ml, 20 ml, 50 ml and 80 ml. A 5 ml vial can be used for about 300 people. Y is also exported to countries like Turkey, Papua New Guniea, South Africa, Denmark and many more.Although X manufactures many products (besides Y), and has a lot of customers for those other products, X's business is highly dependent on Z (its major customer). When X supplies Y to Z, the company's turn over, which is around Rs 9 crore a year, shoots up to around 13 crore with an over all 44 per cent increase in it's annual turnover. These figures are quoted from a Times of India edition of this decade.
Identify X,Y,Z.
Hint for X: The visual shows the logo of X.

Y=Ink which is applied to finger after you vote in the election.
Z=Indian government.
Not sure about the company name X (United Inks or something like that?).
Is Y some vaccine? a 5 ml vial for 300 people hints at that..
X- dunno
Y- vaccine (cholera??)
Z- Red cross
Here is my wild guess. Y is snake poison. No clue about X & Z. I have heard of peacock brand fireworks but can't get the vial connection.
X = The Karnataka govt-owned company that makes Mysore Sandal Soap.
Y = sandalwood oil.
no idea about Z. My guess would be Z = Bollywood industry (hoping there are points for creativity!)
X- Mysore paints? No guess for Y and Z. Intriguing!
Sandalwood?
X = Mysore Paints and Varnish Limited
Y = Indelible Ink or Voters Ink
Z = The Election Commission of India
MPVL is the only company in India authorised to produce the indelible ink, which is used in the elections to prevent people from voting multiple times. The ink was first used in the third general election in India (1962). The process involved in manufacturing the ink is a closely guarded secret and is based on a chemical formula devised by the National Physical Laboratory of India. The company's business is highly dependent on the Indian general election (held once in five years) and in a year when the elections are held, significant increase in the revenue is observed.
Congrats to Nikhil (for getting Y,Z) and Rahul (for getting X).
Some ingenious guesses by the rest of you.
