Brief Summary of the Project

1. Introduction M/s. Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Ltd. (DCBL) is operating an Integrated Cement Plant with installed capacity of 2.6 MTPA Clinker, 2.5 MTPA Cement, CPP 27 MW and D.G. set of 1000 kVA (2 x 500 kVA) at Village: Yadwad, Taluka: , District: Belagavi (). Environmental Clearance for the existing plant has been obtained from MoEFCC, New Delhi vide letter no. J-11011/119/2007-IA (II)-I dated 24 th June, 2008, validity extended for three years w.e.f. 23 rd June 2013 vide letter no. J-11011/119/2007-IA II (I) dated 11 th August 2014. Out of 4.0 MTPA of the granted cement production capacity, company is producing only 2.5 MTPA by installing only Line - I. Remaining Cement capacity of 1.5 MTPA could not be installed within the valid EC period. Similarly, out of the 40 MW of the granted CPP capacity, company has installed only 27 MW; remaining capacity of 13 MW could not be installed within the stipulated EC period.

2. Project Proposal DCBL is proposing an Expansion of Integrated Cement Plant (Clinker, Cement, WHRS & D.G. Set) by expanding the existing line and by installing two new lines II & III at village: Yadwad, Taluka: Gokak, District: Belagavi (Karnataka); as per the project proposal given in table below: Additional Proposed Granted Capacity as Total capacity Existing Installed Capacity Unit per EC after Capacity (Line - I) dated 24 th June, 2008 Existing New Line - II expansion Line - I & III Clinker (MTPA) 2.6 2.6 Nil 2 x 3.25 9.1 Cement (MTPA) 4.0 2.5 1.5 2 x 2.5 9.0 WHRS (MW) NA NA 12 2 x 15 42 CPP (MW) 40 27 Nil Nil 27 DG Set - 2 x 500 KVA - 2 x 1000 KVA 3000 KVA

3. Screening Category As per EIA Notification dated 14 th Sept., 2006 & as amended from time to time; this project falls under S. No. 3 (Material Production), Category - ‘A’, Project Activity ‘3 (b)’ Cement Plants.

4. Brief Description of Project Location Details:  Village: Yadwad  Taluka: Gokak  District: Belagavi  State: Karnataka

Area Details:  Total Project Area: Total project area is 179.68 ha; out of which, 159.93 ha existing plant area and 10.44 ha additional area, remaining 9.31 ha area is proposed for worker colony. Proposed expansion will be done within the existing plant premises and additional area.

1  Greenbelt / Plantation Area (ha): Out of the total project area; 33% i.e. 60.54 ha area will be covered under greenbelt development / plantation.

No National Park, Wildlife Sanctuary, Biosphere Reserve, Protected Forest falls within 10 km radius of the plant site. 8 nos. of Reserve Forest i.e. Budni RF, Ranjanagi & Uttur RF, Jaliber RF, Chippal Katti RF and 4 other patches of RF falls at distance of 4 km to 8.5 km within the study area. 9 Water bodies (Halla) i.e. Dodda Halla, Halla, Simmi Halla, Halpana Halla, Kanni Halla, Halla, Kallumatti Halla, Jalimatti Halla and Yadawad Halla falls at a distance of 1.5 km to 8.0 km within the study area.

Cost Details:  Total Cost - Rs. 4200 Crores @ 2100 Crore for each line  Cost for Environment Management Plan:  Capital Cost - Rs. 168 Crores for each line  Recurring Cost - Rs. 17 Crores / annum for each line

Basic Requirements for the Project

 Water Requirement (KLD): The existing water requirement is 3100 KLD. Additional 4200 KLD water will be required for proposed expansion project. Thus, the total water requirement after proposed expansion project will be 7300 KLD. Source: Ground water / surface water / Existing rain water harvesting sumps within plant area and Mine pit rainwater.

 Power Requirement (MW): The existing power requirement is 30 MW; which is being met from CPP (27 MW) & state grid. Additionally, 85 MW power will be required for proposed expansion project. Thus, the total power requirement after proposed expansion will be 115 MW. In order to reduce its dependency on grid and move towards clean/green technology, DCBL proposes to meet its additional power requirement by 42 MW WHRS and remaining 43 MW will be met from State grid. For emergency conditions D.G. set of 2 x 500 kVA are already installed and additionally 2 x 1000 kVA D.G. set will be required for proposed expansion. Thus, total capacity of D.G. Sets after proposed expansion will be 3000 kVA.

 Manpower Requirement: The existing manpower for the plant is 788 Person and additional manpower required for the proposed expansion will be 1120 Persons, thus total manpower required after expansion will be 1908 Person during operational phase and about 2000 Persons will be required during implementation phase. Local people will be preferred in employment as per their eligibility.  Raw Material Requirement: Raw materials required for the proposed expansion project are Limestone which is being / will be sourced from Captive Mines; Laterite and other additives like red mud, sandstone, grinding aids etc. is being / will be sourced from (Karnataka); Slag is being / will be sourced from Bellary (Karnataka); Gypsum is being / will be sourced from

2 Tuticorin (Kerala) & Bikaner (Rajasthan); Fly ash is being / will be sourced from CPP/NTPC Bijapur.

 Fuel requirement : Fuel required for the proposed expansion project are Indian Coal is being / will be purchased from SCCL/WCL, Telangana/Maharashtra, Indonesian Coal is being / will be sourced through Jaigad port / Mangalore Port, Petcoke is being / will be purchase from MRPL and Imported (through Mangalore & Jaigad Port), South African Coal is being / will be sourced through Jaigad port / Mangalore Port and Black Carbon / AFR is being / will be purchased from Hyderabad.
