BRIEF PROJECT SUMMARY Vedanta Limited, formerly known as Sesa Sterlite Limited (SSL)/ Sesa Goa LTD, a Vedanta Group company is one of the world’s largest global diversified natural resource majors, with operations in zinc-lead-silver, oil & gas, iron ore, copper, aluminium and commercial power. Vedanta Limited (Vedanta) is contemplating to establish a green field 0.5 MTPA hot metal plant (Pig Iron), 3 MTPA of pellet plant. The process for production of hot metal is based on blast furnace, sinter plant and coke oven plant. Vedanta is already having 0.832 MTPA pig iron manufacturing unit at Goa along with 1.0 MTPA sinter plant, 0.6 MTPA heat recovery coke plant & 60 MW waste heat recovery plant. The proposed project area is located at Dimbuli Village, Circle Manoharpur, West Singhbhum District, Jharkhand State. Process Details 1. Hot metal (Pig Iron) Plant: The following has been considered for 0.5 MTPA blast furnace and related facilities: A. 0.5 MTPA Blast Furnace: It is proposed to install a blast furnace of 0.5 MTPA capacity in Manoharpur village Jharkhand. This furnace will be a modern blast furnace equipped with hot blast stoves, bell less top, and pulverized coal injection including O2 enrichment. B. Sinter Plant: The availability of the calibrated iron ore lumps is becoming scarce; hence it is proposed to install sintering machines of adequate capacity along with the blast furnace. The advantages with the use of sinter is that, it improves the productivity of the blast furnace, lowers the coke rate, allows usage of low iron bearing material and low value coke breeze in the production. C. Waste Heat Recovery Coke plant and Power Plant (based on waste heat of Coke plant and Blast Furnace gas): To cater to the coke requirement of blast furnace it is proposed to add coke making capacity of 250,000 TPA with Sesa’s technology of heat recovery, which conforms to the most stringent environment norms worldwide. The proposed power plant will have capacity of 30 MW and will utilize the waste heat from coke ovens and the excess gas available from the proposed 0.5 MTPA blast furnace. 2. Pellet Plant: The pellet plant will make the iron ore concentrate into a product of oxide pellet. The capacity of pellet plant will be 3.0 MTPA. The process of pelletization involves bulk handling and storage of raw materials - mainly iron ore fines, coal, limestone, dolomite, bentonite etc; preparation of raw materials by grinding and mixing with adequate moisture content; balling of the prepared mixture and hardening of the pellets in a specially designed furnace. The main plant facilities include additives grinding, mixing, balling, induration and product load out besides the auxiliary and service facilities. Resource Requirement Area: The proposed green field project requires 439.09 acres for installation of pellet plant, blast furnace, sinter plant, coke oven heat recovery and waste heat recovery power plant. Water Requirement: Estimated make up water requirement for the project is 9000 m3/day which will be drawn from Koina river. Total water quantity is 3.3 MCM annually. Power Requirement: Power will be taken from grid. 30 MW (approx.) waste heat recovery power plant is proposed. Required power for plant operation is approximately 28 MW. Manpower Requirement: The proposed project will generate direct employment of approx. 1500 manpower including contract labour. It will provide new opportunities for local people also resulting in indirect employment of 5000 manpower. Training programs will be setup for the development of local community as per the work requirement. The project cost for the proposed green field project is about Rs. 1700 Crores and EMP cost is about Rs. 100 Crores.

INTRODUCTION Reliable information on the location, extent and quality of soil and land resources is the first requirement in planning for the sustainable management of land resources. The components of land i.e., soils, climate, water, nutrient and biota are organised into eco-system which provide a variety of services that are essential to the maintenance of the life support system and the productive capacity of the environment. Our land mass is fixed, but the competition among different kinds of uses for this land is increasing because of rapidly rising global population. Therefore, integrated land resource planning and management are required to resolve these conflicts and soil resource survey seems to be a viable means in this process and knowledge of soil fertility status and problems of soils like soil acidity/alkalinity become essential for sustainable land use plan. Soil fertility is an aspect of the soil-plant relationship.

OF INDIA, MINISTRY OF STEEL PREFACE It is largely being felt now by Country’s policy makers that manufacturing has to be the backbone of future growth strategy of India over the next decade. Accordingly, the new manufacturing policy aims at increasing manufacturing growth rate to 11-12% by 2016-17 and raising its share in GDP from current 16% to 25% by 2025. The policy envisages creation of National Investment & Manufacturing Zones (NIMZs) equipped with world class infrastructure facilities to promote manufacturing activities in the country. To achieve the manufacturing growth of GDP’s share from 16% to 25% by 2025, there will be substantial increase in steel demand. Some of the NMIZs are being planned in mineral rich states offering excellent potential location for setting up new steel plants. Draft National Steel Policy 2012 targets crude steel capacity of 300 Mt in the country by the middle of the next decade (2025-26). A High Level Committee on Manufacturing (HLCM) in its meeting held on 9th July 2013 which was chaired by the then Hon’ble Prime Minister endorsed the growth strategy targeting National Mission of 300 Mt crude steel output by 2025-26.
