2.0 Introduction of the Project / Background Information

2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent:

The objective of this pre-feasibility study is to provide information for existing and optimize capacity in exist plant land at Vedadri village, Jaggayyapeta mandal, Krishna dist, Andhra Pradesh.

(i) Need for the project

The cement industry in India has been on a robust growth trajectory for more than a decade, led by buoyancy in sectors like real estate and construction. It is modern and deploys latest technology, which is among the best in the world. Additionally, the industry has great potential for development as limestone of excellent quality is found in this area.

India is the second largest producer of cement on the globe after China.

P-1 Pre-Feasibility Report Hemadri Cements Ltd,

The cement industry in India has received a great impetus from a number of infrastructure projects taken up by the Government of India like road networks and housing facilities. While the Indian cement industry enjoys a phenomenal phase of growth, experts reveal that it is poised towards a highly prosperous future over the very recent years. Estimates state that the production in the sector will touch 320 MT in 2017-18. The cement industry in the subcontinent is dominated by around 20 companies.

Growth in domestic cement demand is likely to remain strong, given the revival in the housing markets, constant government spending on the rural sector, and due to rise in the number of infrastructure projects being implemented by the private sector.

Demand Supply Gap

National future supply capability is estimated after making following adjustments: A retirement factor of 1.00 MTPA is assumed towards closure of capacity of old plants. Plants are estimated to work at average capacity utilization 90%. This is based on the past performance of plants.

Import Vs Indigenous Production

Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) for 2004-09 was notified on 31.8.2004 and made effective from 1.9.2004. The amended Export and Import Policy incorporated in the FTP and effective from 1.4.2008, freely allows the import of cement clinkers, ordinary portland cement, portland pozzolana cement, portland slag cement, white and coloured cement, aluminous cement, etc. The past cement imports data shows that a meager quantity of cement has been imported from the neighbor countries around 1.0 million tons. The main suppliers are Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, China and Japan. When the volume of import is compared with the demand is negligible. Since cement is a voluminous product, substitution by imports having lot of implications.

(ii) Employment Generation

For the project activity direct employment for about 150 persons and indirect employment for about 200 persons is expected. This is only a projected demand

P-2 Pre-Feasibility Report Hemadri Cements Ltd, subject to change; however, definitely there will be a sizeable anticipated employment opportunity.

Water – Water requirement for optimization is 25 KLD which is met through Ground water/ Krishna River/ Storm water runoff stored in mines pits.

Energy – For the Project, we will use Coal predominantly either domestic.

Power – The maximum electrical power demand for the Plant is 9.0 MW. It shall be sourced from APTRANSCO. The unit has DG sets with the capacity of 1 x 125 KVA.

(vi) Quantity of waste generated

Liquid waste – Since the proposed manufacturing process is a dry process, no liquid waste will be generated.

Solid waste- No solid waste will be generated from the manufacturing process except the burst cements bags and general scraps and fly ash from boilers.

Solid waste generation

No solid waste is generated from the manufacturing process except damaged cement bags and general scrap. Quantity of waste bags will be around 50 TPA and General scrap will be around 30 TPA. The same will be collected and taken back by the buyers for reuse purpose.

4.0 SITE ANALYSIS

4.1 Connectivity

The site is connected by vedadri – Gowarawaram road adjacent to plant in north direction connected to NH-9 at a distance of 10.0 km in northeast direction. The nearest railway station is Jaggayyapeta at a distance of 13.0 km in northwest direction. Gannavaram Air Port is at a distance of 100 km in southeast direction. The nearest port is Machilipatnam at a distance of 150 km in southeast direction.

4.2 . Land Form, Land use and Land ownership

Present Land use of the area is industrial. The same will be used for the industrial purpose.

4.3 Topography

The project area represents a part of rain fed agricultural land. Except for minor undulations in the centre, the major part of the area is plain with gentle western slope.

4.4 Meteorological data

Climate

This area is situated in the warm climatic belt with moderate humidity. The coldest month in this region is December; lowest mean temperature is being 14 0C. It is very warm during the month of May and June with a mean maximum of 43-45 0C and it

P-9 Pre-Feasibility Report Hemadri Cements Ltd, even touches +40 0C also. The major portion of rainfall is well distributed between July and December with an Annual average precipitation of 850 mm.

Rainfall

From the IMD data it is concluded that August is the month of heaviest rainfall while January to April are of low rainfall. It varies from the lower value of 16 mm and maximum of 200 mm.

Wind speed

From the IMD data it is concluded that the wind speed is very high during the month of July to September, representing onset of SW monsoon and NE monsoon respectively, while the wind speed are low in the month of March–April. Heavy rainfall and stormy weather with strong winds are associated with the depression developed in the Bay of Bengal and hence the climatic conditions are found to be asymmetrical.

Wind rose

From the IMD data it is concluded that NNE and SSW are two predominant wind directions. This region gets more westerly wind during SW monsoon and North Easterly during NE monsoon.
