Description of the proposed project: The first task: “Description of the proposed project” forms a vital component of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as it provides the basis for evaluating the likely causes of Environmental Impacts.

Existing Environment and Baseline Conditions: The baseline assessment will be carried out to identify potentially sensitive and critical areas that may be affected by the project in an area of 10 km surrounding the project location. The critical and sensitive targets shall be plotted on land use map of project impact area. The existing environment and baseline conditions should be established from: -Analysis of existing information published and secondary data. -Consultation with relevant statutory authorities, and Field visits for supplementation of missing gaps.

The key subject areas which the EIA shall address include Ecology and Nature conservation, Air quality, surface and water quality in project impact area, soil quality, cultural heritage, landscape, land use, noise quality, etc. Natural habitats like national parks, wildlife reserves, sanctuaries, sacred grove, protected areas, forests, wetlands, major rivers and waterways if any, shall also be identified and marked.

Assessment of Environmental Impacts: Based upon the results from the review of existing information, field visits, site data collection and consultation, for each component of environment (physical, biological and socio economic) the positive, negative, direct and indirect, temporary and permanent impacts will be evaluated along with an indication of the degree of impact, i.e., whether the impact is significant, moderate, minor or negligible. The degree of impact shall also be quantified by using state of the art air quality impact prediction models based on ISCST3 algorithms.

Brief description of the process is illustrated as follows:

Manufacturing Process

The manufacturing process involves preparation of raw materials, clinkerisation, followed by addition of additives and grinding in a mill to obtain cement.

The manufacture of cement is highly energy consuming; both Thermal and Electrical Energy. The specific heat consumption for the production of 1 kg of clinker is achieved at an average rate of 920 kcal to 870 kcal. The hot clinker produced is cooled in the grate cooler and the heat recuperated from the kiln is utilized for preheating the raw materials and fuel.

The proposals involve optimization of existing kiln, cement mills. The existing cement manufacturing line consists of limestone crushers, raw mill (ball mill), kiln with Pre-heater, coal mills, cement mills and cement packing facilities. The proposed measures for optimization as follows;

Optimization details of existing plant

It is proposed to optimize the raw mill capacity to 62 TPH from 45 TPH by adopting the following;

¾ Drying chamber will be converted to single chamber to increase the output.

¾ The existing kiln rated capacity is 600 TPD. The kiln volume loading capacity will permit 900 TPD. The norm for volume loading is 6 TPH/m3/day which can yield more than 900 TPD.

¾ There shall not be any change in the coal mills, as the existing coal mills (7 TPH) have adequate capacity and operating hours are increased from 16 hrs to 22 hrs.

¾ Controlled fly ash dosing system will be installed to have accurate uniform addition of fly ash which will improve mill output. The grinding media gradation will be changed as per the recommendation of mill internal designer to suit two chamber designs for cement mill.

¾ There will not be any major civil construction for modernization and expansion.

1 Executive Summary

2 Introduction of the Project / Background Information

2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent:

The objective of this pre-feasibility study is to provide information for existing and optimize capacity in exist plant land at Vedadri village, Jaggayyapeta mandal, Krishna dist, Andhra Pradesh.

(i) Need for the project

The cement industry in India has been on a robust growth trajectory for more than a decade, led by buoyancy in sectors like real estate and construction. It is modern and deploys latest technology, which is among the best in the world. Additionally, the industry has great potential for development as limestone of excellent quality is found in this area.

India is the second largest producer of cement on the globe after China.

The cement industry in India has received a great impetus from a number of infrastructure projects taken up by the Government of India like road networks and housing facilities. While the Indian cement industry enjoys a phenomenal phase of

P-1 Pre-Feasibility Report Hemadri Cements Ltd, growth, experts reveal that it is poised towards a highly prosperous future over the very recent years. Estimates state that the production in the sector will touch 320 MT in 2017-18. The cement industry in the subcontinent is dominated by around 20 companies.

Growth in domestic cement demand is likely to remain strong, given the revival in the housing markets, constant government spending on the rural sector, and due to rise in the number of infrastructure projects being implemented by the private sector.

Demand Supply Gap

National future supply capability is estimated after making following adjustments: A retirement factor of 1.00 MTPA is assumed towards closure of capacity of old plants. Plants are estimated to work at average capacity utilization 90%. This is based on the past performance of plants.

Import Vs Indigenous Production

Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) for 2004-09 was notified on 31.8.2004 and made effective from 1.9.2004. The amended Export and Import Policy incorporated in the FTP and effective from 1.4.2008, freely allows the import of cement clinkers, ordinary portland cement, portland pozzolana cement, portland slag cement, white and coloured cement, aluminous cement, etc. The past cement imports data shows that a meager quantity of cement has been imported from the neighbor countries around 1.0 million tons. The main suppliers are Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, China and Japan. When the volume of import is compared with the demand is negligible. Since cement is a voluminous product, substitution by imports having lot of implications.

(ii) Employment Generation

For the project activity direct employment for about 150 persons and indirect employment for about 200 persons is expected. This is only a projected demand subject to change; however, definitely there will be a sizeable anticipated employment opportunity.
