 There are around 5400 chemical industries in the state of Maharashtra out of these 1043 fall in large scale category.  The SSI and MSI units can’t afford to have full-fledged treatment system for effluent & HW.  The Govt has facilitate by providing CETP & CHWTSDF for the treatment of effluent & HW generated from these units.  The Govt has developed different zone in Maharashtra for sitting of Chemical industry. So as to tackle the environmental issues effectively.  Most of the chemical zones are located along the bank of seashore for easy and safe disposal of treated effluent.  Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation declares chemical zone & sells the plots to the Industries. After getting the plot the MSME’s Entrepreneur has to go to get an Environment Clearance and consent from the M.P.C.Board. Waste Management:

• Rapid industrial growth in, Maharashtra is associated with significant and increasing environmental problems in urban and peri-urban areas • At the same time industrial development remains vital to most urban centers and cities • Recent years have been marked by improvement in waste management and increasing private sector participation • Yet, infrastructure is still limited to medium to large scale industries • Toxic waste is mostly disposed off to common facility for further treatment and disposal. • Most of the SMEs do not have financial capacity and infrastructure to comply with the environmental norms ENVIRONMENTAL INFRASTRUCTURE for the treatment of effluent generated from chemical ind.  Total no of CETP -- 12

• It is fact that Maharashtra Industries growth was increasing only because of MSME/SME manufactures participation. • Total Chemicals exports are worth Rs.45000 cr. • 58% -60% belongs to MSME/SME and balance 40% to LSM. • It is observed that Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation declares chemical zone & sells the plots to the Industries After getting the plot the MSME’s Entrepreneur has to go to get an Environment Clearance. The process takes little more time due to which the growth of chemical industries has become slow. • Most of the places they face treated effluent discharge on land for irrigation purpose including sea. In this regard relocation / alternate arrangement gets better solution to the problem. • Since the Chemical process generates mainly toxic waste which needs substantial cost towards its treatment and disposal. Hence minimum production scale needs to be ascertain so that they can afford the cost of treatment facility. • It is also necessary to used Best Available Technology (BAT) towards manufacturing and waste minimization as adopted in advanced countries. Action taken by MPCB in recent past • MPCB had filled criminal cases against CETP’s governing body. Due to failure in meeting the environmental standards. • As per Hon’ble High Court directives no new industry / expansion in existing unit is allowed in the area where CETP performance is not satisfactory. • Apart from these many industries have been issue directions towards compliance of the environmental norms, after giving opportunity of hearing under natural justice they are being allow to operate by giving time limit for compliances after obtaining appropriate bank guarantee. • In fact the industry, MIDC, MPCB should work together for sustainable development so as to generate maximum foreign exchange & employment for the state. • It would be appropriate to form a working committee consisting members from the industry, MIDC, MPCB to resolve the environmental issues amicably. This will certainly help in the growth of Maharashtra’s Chemical Industries Economy & Employment. • If required a joint team should visit France, Germany, Italy & Switzerland to see and study the working of the EffluentTreatment Plants & their industry’s clusters. Future of Maharashtra Chemical Industry Growth and Hurdles

 Very bright because it has Infrastructure like  JNPT Port  Feed Stock Storage  Qualified Technocrats & Labour  Airport connectivity. • Infrastructure coming in the future. • JNPT Port expansion with Modern Amenities. • New Airport, New Mumbai • Delhi Mumbai Corridor • New Roads like Virar - 8 lanes • Mumbai-Pune – 8 lanes Express Highways • Mumbai-Goa – 4 Lanes Highways • Self Sufficiency in Power due to Wind/Solar/Nuclear.
