2.3 Need for the project

This project is a backward integration completely based on the fact that the Firm Hindustan Resins & Terpenes has a Good Market reach & Goodwill in South Indian Paint, Ink & Rubber Industries since last 30 years. The Firm has a sizeable Market share which has been growing every year. Most importantly, the Paint, Ink & Rubber production / Consumption is very high in Southern India specifically Tamil Nadu as the level of industrialization is high. Chennai is called the Detroit of India because of Auto Manufacturing and Auto industries consume a lot of Paints & Rubber. The Growth of Paint, Ink & Rubber Industries in this Region is very positive and future demand is likely to grow. This is authenticated by the fact that Many Major Manufacturers in these 3 Industries are either already present or setting up their manufacturing facility in southern part of India as they foresee a healthy & sustained future demand of their Products in this Region.

2.4 Demand and supply gap

Based on market survey the selected products have potential for export as well as domestic market.

2.5 Imports v/s. Indigenous production

The resins which are planned to be manufactured will use majorly Indiginuous Raw- Materials which are present in the state of Tamil-Nadu & a few Neighbouring States. Having a manufacturing unit in any other State would have led to Higher Logistics Cost for Inland Transport of Materials & would have made imported raw-materials more lucrative. HRT Unit being near to Chennai Port, plan to export a few of its products to neighboring countries, thereby generating forex for country.

HRT, has reasonably sound base to overcome the technological barrier to meet the challenges of the industry. The demand for paints coatings, inks, adhesives and other allied products is on increase, and the industry is poised for substantial growth in the coming years.

8 Pre-Feasibility Report

2.6 Domestic / Export Markets

Indian paint market has a huge potential as the Per-Capita Consumption of paints in India is very low compared to developed countries or even developing countries like Sri-Lanka. Chennai being Detroit of India, having so many Automobile Manufacturers, has a high Consumption of Paints. HRT Unit being near to Chennai Port, plan to export a few of its products to neighboring countries, like Sri-Lanka, Bangladesh etc.

Nearest Highway NH-5, 6 Km, E Nearest State Highway SH-52, 7.9 Km, NE Nearest Railway Station Gummidipoondi 24.6 Km, E Nearest Airport Chennai Airport: 73 Km, SSE Nearest seaport Chennai, 57 Km, SE Nearest major city Chennai, 57 Km, SE

The connectivity of the sites with all required facilities is the major advantage for the present site for the proposed Industrial Park.

4.2 Land form, Land use, Land Ownership The proposed project site is located at plot no. A-11/2B-1, SIPCOT Industrial Area, Thervoykandigai Village, Gummidipoondi Taluk, Thiruvallur- District, Tamil Nadu. 601202. The layout plan of proposed facility is enclosed as Annexure 5 and land possession certificate is enclosed as Annexure 8. EC of Thervoykandigai SIPCOT industrial area is enclosed as Annexure 9.

4.3 Topography The prominent geomorphic units identified in the Thiruvallur district through interpretation of Satellite imagery are 1) Alluvial Plain, 2) Old River Courses 3) Coastal plains 4) Shallow & deep buried Pediments, 5) Pediments and 6) Structural Hills.

The elevation of the area ranges from 183 m amsl in the west to sea level in the east. Four cycles of erosion gave raise to a complex assemblage of fluvial, estuarine and marine deposits. The major part of the area is characterized by an undulating topography with innumerable depressions which are used as irrigation tanks.

The coastal tract is marked by three beach terraces with broad inter-terrace depressions. The coastal plains display a fairly lower level or gently rolling surface and only slightly elevated above the local water surfaces or rivers. The straight trend of the coastal tract is resultant of development of vast alluvial plains. There are a number of dunes in the coastal tract.

Soil: Soils in the area have been classified into i) Red soil ii) Black soil iii) Alluvial soil iv) colluvial soil. The major part is covered by Red soil of red sandy/clay loam type. Ferrugineous red soils are also seen at places. Black soils are deep to very deep and generally occurs in the depressions adjacent to hilly areas, in the western part. Alluvial soils

19 Pre-Feasibility Report occur along the river courses and eastern part of the coastal areas. Sandy coastal alluvium (arenaceous soil) are seen all along the sea coast as a narrow belt.

Hydrology: The district is underlain by both porous and fissured formations. The important aquifer systems in the district are constituted by i) unconsolidated & semi-consolidated formations and ii) weathered, fissured and fractured crystalline rocks. The porous formations in the district include sandstones and clays of Jurassic age (Upper Gondwana), marine sediments of Cretaceous age, Sandstones of Tertiary age and Recent alluvial formations. As the Gondwana formations are well-compacted and poorly jointed, the movement of ground water in these formations is mostly restricted to shallow levels. Ground water occurs under phreatic to semi-confined conditions in the inter-granular pore spaces in sands and sandstones and the bedding planes and thin fractures in shales. In the area underlain by Cretaceous sediments, ground water development is rather poor due to the rugged nature of the terrain and the poor quality of the formation water. Quaternary formations comprising mainly sands, clays and gravels are confined to major drainage courses in the district. The maximum thickness of alluvium is 30.0 m. whereas the average thickness is about 15.0 m. Ground water occurs under phreatic to semi-confined conditions in these formations and is being developed by means of dug wells and filter points. Alluvium, which forms a good aquifer system along the Araniyar and Korattalaiyar river bed which is one of the major sources of water supply to urban areas of Chennai city and also to the industrial units. Ground water generally occurs under phreatic conditions in the weathered mantle and under semi-confined conditions in the fissured and fractured zones at deeper levels. The thickness of weathered zone in the district is in the range of 2 to 12 m. The depth of the wells ranged from 8.00 to 15.00 m bgl.

The yield of large diameter wells tapping the weathered mantle of crystalline rocks ranges from 100 to 500 lpm and are able to sustain pumping for 2 to 6 hours per day. The yield of bore wells drilled down to a depth of 50 to 60 m ranges from 20 to 400 lpm. The yield of successful bore wells drilled down to a depth of 150 m bgl during the ground water exploration programme of Central Ground Water Board ranged from 1.2 to 7.6 lpm.

Basin and sub-basin: The district is part of the composite east flowing river basin having Arniar-Korataliar and Cooum sub basins.

Drainage: Araniyar, Korattalayar, Cooum, Nagari and Nandhi are the important rivers.The drainage pattern, in general, is dendritic. All the rivers are seasonal and carry substantial flows during monsoon period.

20 Pre-Feasibility Report

Korattaliar river water is supplied to Cholavaram and Red Hill tanks by constructing an Anicut at Vellore Tambarambakkam. After filling a number of tanks on its further course, the river empties into the Ennore creek a few kilometres north of Chennai.

The Cooum river, flowing across the southern part of the district, has its origin in the surplus waters of the Cooum tank in Tiruvallur taluk and also receives the surplus waters of a number of tanks. It feeds the Chembarambakkam tank through a channel. It finally drains into the Bay of Bengal.
