M R N Cane Power India Ltd., is an agro based Company with a proposal to manufacture sugar, power and allied products. The company proposes to establish 5000 TCD sugar, 35 MW cogeneration power plant and 65 KLPD molasses based distillery at Kallapur village, Kulageri Hobli, Badami Taluk, Bagalkot, Karnataka, hereafter referred as This Industry TI for brevity. The sugar unit generates large quantities byproducts viz. bagasse, molasses and press mud. To be economically and environmentally sustainable it is necessary for the sugar industries to convert these by-products into value-added products, and hence this is done. The plant is a new establishment. The raw material, molasses and bagasse generated from the sugar plant will be utilized in the proposed distillery and power plant, respectively. EC proposal was made on 17th December 2014, as per Notification 2006. Thus, Table No. 1.1: Proposed Production Details Sl. No Product Unit Schedule Category Production 1 Crystalline Sugar Plant 5000 TCD 5(j) B 2 Co-gen power 35 MW 1 (d) B 3 Alcohol Distillery 65 KLPD 5(g) A The Notification no. S. O. 1533 promulgated on 14th September 2006 has categorized, ≥ 5000 TCD sugar under category-B of schedule 5(j), 35 MW Co-gen under category-B of schedule 1(d) and 65 KLPD distillery based on molasses is categorized under Category–A Schedule 5 (g). MoEF, New Delhi has considered the proposal in the 32nd EAC meeting dated 20th -21st January, 2015. A letter prescribing 49 -point TOR Scoping dated 31st March 2015 (including both A & B categories of Industry as above) was received and accordingly draft EIA is prepared.
