Sir, This has reference to your application No.129 /VP(P)/APlIC/EIA/IP- Naidupeta dated 07.11.2015 submitted the above proposal to this Ministry for seeking Terms of Reference (ToR) in terms of the provisions of 'the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification, 2006 under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. 2. The proposal for 'Naidupeta Industrial Park' at MenakURU & Konetirajupalem Villages, Naidupeta Mandai of District S.P.S.R. Nellore (Andhra Pradesh) by And ra.PRadesh Ind~s_~rial Infrastructure Corporation Limited, was considered by the Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) in the Ministry for Infrastructure Development, Coastal Regulation Zone, Building/ Construction and Miscellaneous projects, in its 154th meeting held on 22nd - 23rd December, 2015. 3. The details of the project, as per the documents submitted by the Project Proponents (PP), and also as informed during the above said EAC meeting, are reported to be as under:- (i) The proposal involves proposed Naidupeta Industrial Park at Menakuru & Konetirajupalem Villages, Naidupeta Mandal of District S.P.S.R. Nellore (Andhra Pradesh) by Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Limited which would function as an industrial package with all the required facilities to ensure sustainable developmen t of small, medium and large scale industries with sufficient provision for future growth and expansion. The location of the site is 79°49' 37.25"E & 130 55' 33.16" N. (ii) Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Ltd (APlIC) has identified around 1244.02 acres (503.44 ha) of land for this green field project. The project includes following facilities/ activities: '. Plotted Area - 933.81 Acres • Roads Area - 103.56 Acres • Open Space - 124.88 Acres •CFC Area - 1'5.20 Acres Prcposal :\o.iA,AP/SCPj32695j201S Page 10(6 • Buffer + Green Belt Area - 66.57 Acres (iii) Although, there is no forest area involved in the project site, yet there are Reserve Forest/ Protected Forests in 10 km radius study area. (iv) The project site is well accessible from NH-16/ 15 connecting Chennai with Kolkata. Tirupati Airport is 42.5 km and Krishnapatnam port around 47 km from the site. Most of the area has been classified as 'scrub land'. Other land uses are single crop, barren/waste land. The project site is devoid, of any human settlements, and there shall be no.requirement of.land acquisition, resettlement or rehabilitation. (v) Total water demand for the proposed park estimated as 6.4 MLD, is to be sourced from Telugu Ganga Canal (TGC), nearly 20 km west. APIIC is in the process of seeking approval from I&CADDepartment to tap water from TGC. (vi) Nearly 4.5 MLD of effluent will be generated when the IP is fully operational. About 10% (0.45 MLD) generated during initial stages of operation shall be sent to CETP of 1 MLD capacity proposed for the entire cluster. (vii) Water bodies: There are numerous water bodies in the immediate vicinity of the project site. Canal is passing within the layout of Naidupeta IP, which is in dry condition. Existing canals will not be disturbed as part of the project development. (viii) Power demand for different uses is estimated as 48.6 MVA. (ix) Hazardous wastes shall be disposed off to TSDF as per MSIHC Rules. (x) Investment/Cost: The total cost of the project is Rs.94.77 crore. (xi) No Court cases/litigation is pending against the project -and/ or land In which the project is proposed to be·developed. ·'.r"'_ (xii) Employment potential: The total estimated employment generation In Naidupeta-IP is 22,292 no's. (xiii) Benefits of the project: The Project will have significant beneficial impacts on both urban and rural economy in the project area. T e proposed industries in the Naidupeta-IP shall open up new and better employment opportunities for the local population. Farmers and their families will also benefit from expanded opportunities for seasonal employment elsewhere to earn supplemental incomes. Rural village level enterprises will also prosper, promoting local economic growth. Manufacturing spurs demand for a numbe-r of inputs from raw materials to intermediate components. Robust manufacturing growth would provide an impetus to services and agriculture, and will act as source of gainful employment in the project region. This will result in the higher standard of living of the local population. 4.
