Over the years, the Company’s efforts have been acclaimed by Govt. of India and various trade bodies by bestowing on the company various recognitions and awards. 2. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2.1 Identification of project and project proponent. 2.1.1 Identification of project M/s. Century Rayon, the proponent is a unit of B.K. Birla Group of Companies located at Shahad 421103 , Murbad Road, Shahad, Ulhasnagar Thane, Maharashtra. The total plot area is 378656.00 square meter. Unit is running since 1956. 2.1.2 Project Proponent Mr. B. L. Jain, Wholetime Director, Century Textiles & Industries Ltd. 2.2 Brief description of nature of project The project falls under category A, section 5 (d) of EIA notification September 2006 and amendment dated 25.06.2014. Hence Environment Clearance is applicable to the proposed project. Pre-Feasibility Report 4 of 27 Project: Manufacturing of Viscose Filament Yarn Developer: M/s. Century Rayon 2.3 Need of project and its importance to the country and or region Viscose Filament Yarn (VFY) consumption in Indian market is in the tune of 55 to 56 thousand tons per annum. In view of closure of domestic VFY producers, Baroda Rayon & National Rayon Corporation demand supply gap arised and this was bridged through imports from countries like, China, Germany and Belarus. Imports in the year 2006-07 was nil, which increased to over 20,000 Tons in the year 2013-14. As exhibited, India has large consumption of VFY, however production capacity is not commensurate to meet the demand and therefore imports. To reduce the dependence on imports, it is essential to increase domestic production and therefore intend to expand the production capacity. This would not only save foreign exchange for the nation, but also use the resources available like technical and skilled labour. China has VFY producing plant with large capacities that allows them cost advantages due to scale of operations and we also need to enhance capacity to compete. 2.4 Demand Supply gap In last 8 years, the demand continuous to exceed supply from domestic VFY producers, which is filled by import. The details of imports of last six years are being submitted as under: (in MT) 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 3702 8640 19958 20099 22437 17057 20208 Further the demand has increased in Superfine Denier, i.e. 30 to 60 Deniers, production of these deniers need more machines to produce as compared to production of fine /coarser denier yarns. (in MT) 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 Domestic 3498 4886 5597 5316 6607 consumption CR 337 854 1106 1658 1875 2.5 Imports v/s indigenous production As there is ready market in India, by increasing capacity, imports can be reduced resulting in savings foreign exchange and would be able to create more job opportunities for skilled and unskilled labours. Pre-Feasibility Report 5 of 27 Project: Manufacturing of Viscose Filament Yarn Developer: M/s. Century Rayon 2.6 Export Possibility Viscose Filament Yarn producing units in Germany has stopped production. Considering unviable operations, some units in China have also stopped operations and few more are on way. This will create a gap in supply in global market. We expect to increase our market share as CR has competitive advantage especially because of: Availability of skilled labours Expertise in producing fine quality of VFY Competitive Labour cost Presently we are exporting to various countries like Morocco, Egypt, Brazil, Bolivia, Algeria, Nigeria, Italy, Turkey, USA, etc. 2.7 Domestic/ export markets Domestic market is good and demand is increasing. Association of Man Made Fibre Industry of India (AMFII) got a study conducted through M/a. Avlon Consulting to assess the future demand and according to their findings; compounded annual growth of 14.7% in CSY and 2.3% growth in PSY are projected till 2017-18. Further the demand in global market is also expected to grow due to stoppage of production in Europe due to higher labour cost. Even producers of VFY at China are encountering issue of rise in cost on number of issues like energy, labour, etc. and CR cost competitiveness in domestic and global market would have an edge. 2.8 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to project. M/s. Century Rayon Ltd. will give direct employment to local people based on qualification and requirement. In addition to direct employment, indirect employment shall generate ancillary business to some extent for the local population. In operation phase, the proposed project would require significant workforce of non-technical and technical persons. Migration of highly education and skilled experience will result in increase of literacy in the surrounding villages. 3.0 Project Description 3.1 Type of Project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any. The M/s. Century Rayon Ltd. in P.B No 22, Murbad Road, Shahad, Ulhasnagar Thane, Maharashtra has a total area of 378656.00 square meters. After proposed Expansion, capacity of the product will be 30,000MT/A (Proposed Expansion- 5000 MT/A). There is no interlinked project with this proposed project.
