The policy outlines the creation of National Investment and Manufacturing Zones (NIMZ) with minimum size of 5,000 hectares as giant industrial Greenfield townships to promote world-class manufacturing activities. Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India has accorded Final Approval for Zaheerabad NIMZ on January 22, 2016. The Project Location map is given as Figure FD0101. TSIIC intends to provide world class eco system for manufacturing industries and proposes to establish infrastructure facilities for the proposed NIMZ. The infrastructure development being proposed includes water supply, water distribution, internal roads, storm water drains, electrical distribution network, internal street lighting, wastewater and waste management facilities other utilities such as gas/steam supply, technical and support buildings, housing along with allied facilities. The total area of the proposed NIMZ is around 12,635 acres for various manufacturing industrial sectors. Apart from industrial area there will be technical infrastructure facilities, amenities & utilities, township and logistics facilities. The processing area includes manufacturing zone for different manufacturing industries and service industry selected based on the market and demand assessment study undertaken. The proposed project is attracting the EIA notification, 2006 (as amended) and TSIIC appointed NABET accredited L&T Infrastructure Engineering Limited (LNTIEL) as Environmental Consultant for conducting Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Study for the Zaheerabad NIMZ project. 1.2 Project Description The Proposed NIMZ of 12,635 Acres comprises of manufacturing area along with open space/green belt, utilities, roads and commercial area. Focus sectors identified based on Country’s and region’s prima facie strength for NIMZ near Zaheerabad are as follows: Table 1-1: Focus Sectors for Investment Envisaged in the proposed NIMZ S.

Utilities are planned and zoned across the project site. It will include water supply system, sewage network and wastewater treatment facility, waste management facilities, power sub- station and distribution network, fire station, cold storage facility, raw material bank, etc. which are discussed in detail in the subsequent sections. Based on the requirement, these facilities are spread across the project site. Logistic hub will include warehousing, storage facility, container terminal, truck parking facility, workshops, railway siding infrastructure, weigh bridge, external physical structure linkages such as Roads, water supply, Power supply, gas and optical fiber connectivity (OFC) etc. For residential zone, housing and allied infrastructure like educational facility, health care facility, crèche, recreational facilities, cultural facilities, playgrounds and community facilities, etc. are proposed. The Pre-feasibility Report outlining project details is enclosed as a standalone document. 1.3 Methodology Methodology to carry out the EIA study involves the following stages: Reconnaissance survey and site visits Review of available literature Compliance to statutory requirements Baseline environmental monitoring (Terrestrial environment) Identification and Prediction of Impacts Hazard Identification, Risk Analysis and Broad Disaster Management Plan Environmental Management Plan 1.3.1 Baseline Environmental Monitoring The baseline environmental studies will be carried out for terrestrial environment. The study will be a combination of primary (field surveys) and secondary data collection. Study Period: The proposed study period is winter season (December, 2017 –February, 2018). Study Area: Study area would be 10 km radius from the boundary of the proposed project site. A map showing the study area is enclosed as Figure FD0102. 1.3.1.1 Meteorology Meteorological Parameters such as wind speed, direction, relative humidity, rainfall, temperature etc., will be recorded by using automatic weather monitoring station in the study area at One (1) location during the study period. In addition, the general meteorological data from Climatological Tables of Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) will be reviewed and presented. For the purpose of carrying out the air quality modelling study, site specific hourly 1 Proposed Terms of Reference for EIA Study Page 2 Development of NIMZ Near Zaheerabad, Telangana C1171308 Proposed Terms of Reference (ToR) for EIA Study RP001 rev. 0 meteorological data (pre-processed from MM5) for the recent year (2017) will also be obtained and used. 1.3.1.2 Ambient Air Quality The ambient air quality monitoring will be carried out as per CPCB/MoEF&CC guidelines.
