ENVI-TECH (P) LTD., Secunderabad – 500 017 CHAPTER – 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY LOK Cement is a subsidiary Company Birla Corporation Ltd in MP Birla Group of Companys. Birla Group, is a multi-product Conglomerate. The company manufactures cement, jute goods, auto trims (car interiors), PVC floor coverings and steel castings. The company is in the field of cement manufacturing since the past 55 years and the total installed capacity of our cement manufacturing units is 9MTPA. The company has nine cement plants, Satna Cement Woks and Birla Vikas cement at Satna (MP), Birla Cement Works, Chanderia Cement Works and New Chanderia Cement Works at Chanderia (Rajasthan), Durgapur Cement Works and Durga Hitech Cement at Durgapur (WB) and Raebareli Cement Works and Raebareli Hitech Cement works, Raebareli (UP). LCL was granted New Mining Lease over an area of 575 Ha falls under Jurisdiction of Chinnadandlur and Kallamalla Villages, Y S R Kadapa District, Andhra Pradesh with about 90 Million Tonnes of proven reserves (approx.) which will last for 30 years with proposed production capacity of 3.00 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA). Mechanized method of mining will be adopted. The limestone produced will be transported to cement plant by trucks. About 30 % of the mining lease is under rainfed cultivation. Balance area is with outcrops of limestone and shrubs. The top soil is covered the entire area with varying thickness (from 0.5 to 1.5m). Top soil of about 0.48 million m3 is expected to be generated during the life of the mine which will be utilized for plantation and development of greenbelt. Waste generation from the mine is 25.2 million tonnes for the life of the mine. Water requirement for the proposed mine is about 200 m3/day for dust suppression, plantation and domestic purposes. Initially, this water requirement will be met from cement plant and after development of the mine pit, the pit water will be used. The capital Investment Cost is estimated as Rs. 25 crores. All the infrastructural facilities will be provided. CHAPTER – 2 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT / BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT / BACKGROUND INFORMATION i. IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT AND PROJECT PROPONENT. IN CASE OF MINING PROJECT, A COPY OF MINING LEASE / LETTER OF INTENT SHOULD BE GIVEN. M/s Lok Cemets Limited (LCL), an industry of Birla Corporation (BC). BC is one of the leading cement manufacturers in Eastern India and had setup Cement Plants at Satna in Madhya Pradesh, Chittorgarh in Rajasthan and at Baikunt in Chhattisgarh. LCL was granted new Mining Lease over an area of 575 Ha falls under Jurisdiction of Chinnadandlur and Kallamalla Villages, Y S R Kadapa District, Andhra Pradesh with about 90 Million Tonnes of proven reserves (approx.) which will last for 30 years with proposed production capacity of 3.00 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA). Mining lease letter is enclosed as Annexure -1 PROJECT PROPONENT M/s Lok Cemets Limited (LCL), an industry of Birla Corporation (BC). BC is one of the leading cement manufacturers in Eastern India and had setup Cement Plants at Satna in Madhya Pradesh, Chittorgarh in Rajasthan and at Baikunt in Chhattisgarh. ii. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT The proposed project is a limestone mine is spread over 575 ha with about 90 Million tonnes of mineable reserves (approx.) to produce 3.0 MTPA of Limestone at Chinnadandlur and Kallamalla Villages, Yerraguntla Mandal, Y S R Kadapa District of Andhra Pradesh. The mining of the deposit is proposed to be worked by deep hole drilling & blasting with fully mechanized open cast mining method. The limestone produced from the mine will be transported to the crusher located in mining lease area by dump trucks and after crushing to the desired size in the crusher will be transported to the plant by a covered belt conveyor. The benches shall be of 10 m height with a width of 20 m. The benches shall be sloped at 70o to 850 to the horizontal. Since, the formations are very hard and near horizontal with dip angle between 0 o – 3o, there will not be risk of any slope failures. Overburden exists above limestone deposit to a thickness of 2-10m. The top soil is covered the entire area with varying thickness (from 0.5m. to 1.0m). Top soil of about 0.48 .million m3 (approx.) and is expected to be generated during the life of the mine which will be utilized for plantation and development of greenbelt. During the life of the mine, about 480ha will be developed into water reservoir, 27ha will be under afforestation and 68ha will remain undisturbed iii. NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND OR REGION. To conserve the low grade limestone, the limestone produced from the subject mining lease will be used. DEMAND– SUPPLY GAP Limestone is the main raw material for cement production, the demand is always there with that of cement. Moreover, the subject mine produces good grade limestone leading to conservation of mineral resources. iv. IMPORTS VS INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION. The limestone produced from LCL is meant for the captive consumption in the cement plant. v. EXPORT POSSIBILITY. No exports of limestone are proposed. vi. DOMESTIC / EXPORT MARKETS The limestone produced from LCL is meant for the captive consumption in the cement plant. vii. EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT AND INDIRECT) DUE TO THE PROJECT. Mechanized method of mining will be adopted. The limestone produced will be crushed in the mine for transport to cement plant by conveyor. The workmen employed from local villages at different levels. The Managerial, Supervisory, Skilled, Semi-skilled and Unskilled labor totaling to 85 will be engaged as per requirement. CHAPTER – 3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION i. Type of project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any. The proposed project is a limestone mine of 575 ha with production capacity of 3.00 MTPA. Flaggy limestone will be produced and the same will be blended with high grade limestone. Will be used in the existing cement plant. ii. Location (map showing general location, specific location, and project boundary & project site layout) with coordinates.
