Signed for and on behalf of NABL N. Venkateswaran Chief Executive Officer M/s. PCBL (TN) LTD. ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT CHAPTER - 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND M/S. PCBL (TN) LTD is a wholly owned subsidiary of M/s Phillips Carbon Black Limited (PCBL). PCBL is the first Carbon Black company in the world to receive carbon credits. PCBL has redefined its business by establishing captive power plants at each factory from the off- gas or waste gas from the carbon black manufacturing process thus creating a sustainable green movement. The gas, a by-product of carbon black production, is harnessed for generating electricity at the PCBL's Captive Power Plants (CPP), at Palej, Durgapur, Mundra and Kochi. The Company has heavily cut down on carbon and gas emission, and serves green power to Large Private industrial units and State Electricity utilities. At present, the combined production capacity is 5.71 lakh ton/Annum. Now, PCBL (TN) LTD planned to set up a unit in SIPCOT industrial park, Thervoy Kandigai. Proposed facility will be located at Plot No A7 of Thervoy kandigai Village, SIPCOT Industrial Complex, Gummidipoondi Taluk, Tiruvallur District and Tamil Nadu. The allotted land area is 60.02 Acres (242892.32 Sq.m). The land allotted from SIPCOT industrial complex to the proponent for this proposed project. The project scope involves in the production capacity of 1.925 lakh tone/annum in both rubber and specialized carbon black products along with waste heat recovery based cogeneration Captive power plant (36 MW). These products are widely used in tyres manufacturing, ink jet toners, printing newspaper and other such uses. These product requirements are high in demand. The project falls under Category ‘A’, schedule 5 (e) - Petrochemical based processing (processes other than cracking & reformation and not covered under the complexes) as per the EIA notification dated September 14, 2006 and its amendments. Since Tamil Nadu- Andhra Pradesh interstate boundary at a distance of ~ 2.83 Km. Prepared By : Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd., Surat 1 M/s. PCBL (TN) LTD. ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT 1.1.1 JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT This project is based on the fact that the Phillips Carbon Black limited (Parent Company) has a Good Market reach & Goodwill in South Indian Tyre Paint, Ink & Rubber Industries. Phillips Carbon Black limited (Parent Company) has a sizeable Market share which has been growing every year. Most importantly, Tyre, the Paint, Ink & Rubber production / Consumption are very high in Southern India specifically Tamil Nadu as the level of industrialization is high. Chennai is called the Detroit of India because of Auto Manufacturing and Auto industries consume a lot of Carbon Black for Tyre, Paints & Rubber Industries. The Growth of Tyre, Paint, Ink & Rubber Industries in this Region is very positive and future demand is likely to grow. This is authenticated by the fact that Many Major Manufacturers in these three Industries are either already present or setting up their manufacturing facility or expanding there manufacturing facility in southern part of India as they foresee a healthy & sustained future demand of their Products in this Region. 1.1.2 PROMOTERS AND THEIR BACK GROUND M/s. Phillips Carbon Black limited (Parent Company) is India's largest and globally seventh largest Carbon Black producer with a total annual production capacity of 5.71 Lakh tonne in India. Carbon black is majorly consumed (80%) as raw material in tyre manufacturing industries and some are in high end specialized applications such as plastics products, inks, paints etc. It is observed that the global carbon black market is expected to surpass $25 billion by 2025 growing at a CAGR of over 4% driven by rising demand from tyre industry, in addition to construction and manufacturing sectors which use carbon black to provide strength to industrial rubber compounds and other equipment. The Company has heavily cut down on carbon and gas emission and serves green power to large private industrial units and state electricity companies. All activities will be carried out in this project under a new company which is PCBL (TN) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips Carbon Black limited.

Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu is located in the South East of India and lies at a mere 6.7m above mean sea level. Chennai is in a vulnerable location due to storm surges as well as tropical cyclones that bring about heavy rains and yearly floods. The 2004 Tsunami greatly affected the coast, and rapid urbanization, accompanied by the reduction in the natural drain capacity of the ground caused by encroachments on marshes, wetlands and other ecologically sensitive and permeable areas has contributed to repeat flood events in the city. Channelized rivers and canals contaminated through the presence of informal settlements and garbage has exasperated the situation. Natural and man-made water infrastructures that include, monsoon water harvesting and storage systems such as the Temple tanks and reservoirs have been polluted, and have fallen into disuse.

ANANDAN MINISTER FOR FORESTS © GOVERNMENT OF TAMIL NADU 2014 DEMAND No.54 POLICY NOTE 2014-2015 FOREST DEPARTMENT INTRODUCTION "kâÚU« k©Q« kiyÍ« mâãH‰ fhL« cilaJ mu©" - ÂU¡FwŸ (742) "A fort is that which owns fount of waters crystal clear, an open space, a hill, and shade of beauteous forest near." - Thirukkural (742) The ancient Tamil poets have emphasized the importance of dense forests, clean water and fertile soil in providing ecological security to the mankind. Forests are a complex eco-system which play a dual role of a renewable resource and also as a vital support base for safeguarding the overall environment and ecological balance. It is forest cover that has preserved the soil and its heavy humus that has acted as a porous reservoir to 1 retain water and is gradually releasing it in a sustained flow over a period of time. Trees draw water from the earth crust and release it to the atmosphere by process of transpiration as a part of water cycle. Trees also purify the air by releasing oxygen into the atmosphere after consuming carbon-di-oxide during photosynthesis. The survival and well-being of any nation depends on sustainable social and economic progress, which satisfies the needs of the present generation without compromising the interest of future generation. Spiraling population and increasing industrialization have posed a serious challenge to the preservation of our terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Overexploitation of our resources due to rapid population growth has lead to degradation of forests and denudation of agricultural lands.
