INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent Letter of Intent (LoI) for mining lease for minor mineral Boulder, Gravel and Sand over an area of Vardan Environet, Gurgaon Page | 23 Mining of Boulder, Gravel and Sand (Minor Mineral) at Begampur Block/YNR B 37, Yamuna Nagar PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT By M/s Yamuna Infradevelopers Pvt. Ltd., Yamuna Nagar- 135001 (Haryana) 39.50 Hectares has been granted to, from Director of Mines and Geology Department, Govt. of Haryana vide Memo No. DMG/Hy/Cont/Begampur Block/YNR B 37/2015/3935 dated 19/06/2015. The details of the project proponent and project are given below: Name of the Applicant Shri Inder Pal Singh M/s Yamuna Infradevelopers Pvt. Ltd. Admin Office-111, Name and Address of Applicant Santpura Road, Model Town, Yamuna Nagar- 135001, Haryana. Name of Mine Begampur Block/YNR B 37, (Yamuna Nagar) Mineral Boulder, Gravel and Sand Area 39.50 Hectares Status of Project New lease 2.2 Brief description of Nature of the Project The proposed mining lease area is 39.50 Hectares of Begampur Block/YNR B 37, Yamuna Nagar; Haryana is located on 3 Km of NH 73A in West Direction and 12.32 Km of SH 57 in East Direction. It has been proposed to excavate approximately 7,11,000 Tons/annum of Boulder, Gravel and Sand from the bed of outside Yamuna River/Private and Goverment Agricultural land. The mine site will be filled with soil carried from nearby area by proponent and trees will be planted on it; hence the ultimate land use of the mine lease area will not change after systematic and scientific mining. 2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region Building huge infrastructure as envisaged by Government of India/Haryana Government particularly in road and housing sector requires basic building and construction raw materials. The Boulder, Gravel and Sand is one of primary building material required for the purpose. The mining activities as proposed are the backbone of all construction and infrastructure projects as the raw material for construction is made available only from such mining. The Boulder, Gravel and Sand to be excavated is in high demand at the local market for real estate and infrastructure industry. This project will also provide employment to local people helping them earn livelihood. 2.4 Demands-Supply Gap The demand for Boulder, Gravel and Sand is ever growing with the growth of the infrastructure sector in our country. The mineral is used mainly in the construction activities like roads, buildings, bridges etc specially in NCR. The requirement for the mineral is always high in the nearby cities and towns. Therefore there is always a good demand of the mineral in the domestic market. 2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production The demand in the domestic market is high Boulder, Gravel and Sand mineral is available in abundant quantity in the leased area and can be excavated indigenously. Import does not apply in the present case of Boulder, Gravel and Sand mining. 2.6 Export Possibility There is no proposal to export the minierls (Boulder, Gravel and Sand). 2.7 Domestic/ Export Markets Domestic Market The Boulder, Gravel and Sand excavated will be directly sold in the market.
