Open cast other than fully Mechanized method of mining has been proposed. The mining Lease is granted by M.P. Govt., Mineral resource department vide order no. F 3 – 6 /2010/12 – 2 dated – 04/03/2014 enclosed as Annexure 1. HIRA POWER & STEELS LTD., is the Project proponent presently engaged in manufacturing Ferro Alloy, Power, Steel, cement and mining etc. Name and address of Project Hira Power & Steel Limited Proponent Urla Industrial Complex, P.O. & Distt. – Raipur , C.G. Pin- 492002

2.2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROJECT The proposed project is for opencast mining of mineral Dolomite. The proposed capacity of the project is 1.0 million TPA. The applied area was initially prospected by GSI. The State Govt. has issued the LOI for grant of ML over 72.15 Ha. 2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY OR REGION Dolomite is an essential metal for the development of Ferro Alloys, glass works and other industries in a country. A few steel plants have dispensed with the use of dolomite in blast furnaces and its use in the preparation of self-furxing sinters is found adequate for blast-furnace charge. The Dolomite ore mined will benefits the local people by way of direct and indirect employment & improved infrastructure facilities. Applicant will pay royalty for the Dolomite to be produced from the mine, sales tax and other applicable taxes thereby contributing to the State revenue. The public revenue will further be put in public expenditure. Economy of the area will get a boost and there will be overall growth

of the region in terms of educational, health, training, transport, automobile, industry. The standard of living accordingly will also get an upliftment on the positive side.

2.4 DEMAND-SUPPLY GAP Dolomite is an essential constituent of Glass, Steel & Ferro Alloys, Metal manufacturing etc. The requirement of Dolomite is quite substantial in the above nature of industries. There is a gap between the demand and supply of Dolomite in the region. The existing mining project aims to marginally fill the demand – supply gap through optimum expansion to meet the demand effectively. The Dolomite mining industry has witnessed continuous modernization and adoption of new technologies in recent years. Hence, it proposes to bridging the demand supply gap of Dolomite requirement in the region also contributing to reduce the production cost of Dolomite made products, contributing to stabilization in its prices (though marginally).

2.5 IMPORTS VS. INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION Imports of dolomite increased considerably to 611,833 tonnes in 2010-11 from 450,979 tonnes in 2009-10. Imports were mainly from UAE (61%) and Thailand (36%). The proposed project will indigenously produce Dolomite Ore and contribute in saving the foreign exchange for importing Dolomite metal, thereby benefitting the economy.

2.6 EXPORT POSSIBILITY Yes, shall depend on the market conditions.

2.7 DOMESTIC/ EXPORT MARKETS High purity dead-burnt dolomite bricks are required for lining furnaces while mini-steel plants generally require dolomite for fettling and refractory purposes. Like limestone, dolomite is used as a flux in iron & steel, ferro-alloys and glass works. A few steel plants have dispensed with the use of dolomite in blast furnaces and its use in the preparation of self-fluxing sinters is found adequate for blast-furnace charge. Thus, domestic market for Dolomite is well established.
