2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION
(i) Identification of project and project proponent
M/s. Grasim Industries Limited (GIL), a flagship company of the Aditya Birla Group, ranks amongst
India's largest private sector companies, with a consolidated net revenue of Rs. 293 billion and
consolidated net profit of Rs.21 billion (FY 2014).
GIL started as a textile manufacturer in 1948. Today, its core businesses are Viscose Staple Fibre
(VSF) and Cement, contributing over 90 percent of its revenues and operating profits. It is also
present in Chemicals which is essentially a backward integration of VSF.
The Aditya Birla Group is the world’s leading producer of VSF, commanding a 16 percent global
market share. Grasim, with an aggregate capacity of 498 KTPA has a global market share of 8
percent. It is also the largest player in India in Chlor Alkali with Caustic capacity of 452 KTPA (which
is used in the production of VSF) in India.
Viscose Staple Fibre (VSF) is a man-made, biodegradable fibre with characteristics akin to cotton.
As an extremely versatile and easily blendable fibre, VSF is widely used in appareils, home textiles,
dress material, knitted wear and non-woven applications.
M/s. Grasim Industries Ltd. has its VSF Plants at Nagda (Madhya Pradesh), Harihar (Karnataka),

Pre - Feasibility Report
M/s. Grasim Industries Ltd. 4(Staple Fibre Division)
As per EIA Notification dated 14th Sept., 2006 as amended from time to time; the project falls
under Category “A”, Project or Activity ‘5(d)’ & ‘1(d)’.
(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region
The Indian man-made fibre manufacturing industry is not only one of the rapidly growing sectors
in the economy, but also a critical enabler of the largest export earner – the textiles industry. The
fortunes of the man-made fibres industry are linked to the performance of the petrochemicals
industry at the global level, and of the textile industry at the domestic level.
Any company producing man-made fibres has the option to set up the largest capacity that the
market can absorb, decide the level of participation in the man-made fibres chain, and use the
most cost-effective technology. To a large extent, these factors determine the profitability and
cost structure of a man-made fibre company, while later efforts are focused on managing the
facilities efficiently and effectively.
Currently, the Indian textile industry accounts for 9.0% of the global textile fibres production. India
is the fifth largest man-made fibre producer in the world, after China, South Korea, Taiwan and
Japan. Of the global production of around 24.0 million tonnes (MT) of man-made fibre, India
produces around 1.5 MT. Thus, India’s share of the world man-made fibre output is very low at
around 7.0%.
The demand for polyester in the domestic market increased at the fast pace of over 15% during the
1990s. Currently, polyester accounts for a significant 38% share of the country’s total fibre
consumption (for ultimate use in the domestic market, the share is even higher at more than 50%).
Further, the weaving industry, being weak, finds it difficult to export synthetic fibre based textile
goods (the cotton and cotton-blend textiles and clothing are exported from India mainly on the
strength of low raw cotton prices).
Thus, with textile trade coming under the World Trade Organization (WTO) regime, the Indian
man-made fabrics and apparel industry would have to measure up to the challenge of imports
(fabrics and apparel are under a higher threat from imports than other forms of textile) as also a
domestic man-made fibres market that is getting increasingly saturated.
Hence, the proposal of expansion in VSF production capacity by Staple Fibre Division (A Unit of
M/s. Grasim Industries Limited) will cater the increased demand of manmade fibres in the country.
(iv) Demand- Supply Gap
Among major staple fibres, viscose Staple Fibre (VSF) will have better growth due to perfect fit for
the higher growing categories in apparel retail segments like women wear and kids wear. the
growing demand for casual, fashionable & comfortable wear will lead to higher growth of VSF.
Slower growth is expected in china due to slowdown of overall textile industry due to rising cost
of production and India is rightly positioned to take advantages of the situation. With GST in place
the MMF will get the level playing field in India & hence are poised for higher growth rates in the
year to come.

Pre - Feasibility Report
M/s. Grasim Industries Ltd. 5(Staple Fibre Division)
VSF consumption growth at a CAGR of 11% during 2010-15 period and expected to continue to grow
at a healthy rate much better than other fibres. In India too it is expected that VSF demand to
grow at a rate of 11% during 2015-20. To meet the vision set for textile and apparel industry by
honourable Prime Ministry, there will be requirement of adequate raw materials which cotton
cannot meet as availability of land for growing the crops will be less going forward due focus on
food crops specially pulses.
Hence, the demand of fibres for textiles will need to be met by MMF and VSF has got the clear
advantages for taking a major share in this due to its unique properties. With growth in
consumer’s preference for comfort, fashion wear and casuals, viscose is emerging as the fibre of
choice. This provides opportunities for Indian textiles value chain to grow and supply to
international brands, earning foreign exchange for both themselves and country.
(v) Imports vs. Indigenous Production
For proposed expansion in production capacity, some imports will be required for Coal and Rayon
Grade pulp.
(vi) Export Possibility
The finished product of the plant is being / will be exported to Bangladesh, China, Turkey, Europe,
Pakistan, USA, Mexico, Argentina etc.
(vii) Domestic / Export Markets
Domestic market mainly includes Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Karnataka and
Tamil Nadu.
(viii) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project
M/s. Grasim Industries Limited (Staple Fibre Division) employs maximum possible staffing from
local area. Only where skills are not available locally, staff will be hired from outside.
The proposed expansion will generate both direct & indirect employment. Approx. 550 persons
will be provided employment during operational phase of proposed expansion project. In
addition, 950 contract labour will also be employed for proposed expansion project, which will be
sourced from near-by villages. The total manpower requirement (permanent) after the proposed
expansion project will be around 2,820 persons.

Process Details
Viscose Staple Fibre
Viscose production primarily consists of three stages, viz. conversion of initial cellulose of wood
pulp into alkali-cellulose by the action of Sodium Hydroxide, aging of alkali-cellulose and
conversion of alkali-cellulose into Cellulose Xanthate & dissolving in dilute sodium hydroxide to
produce viscose. Sufficient interval is allowed between mercerisation of pulp and Xanthation of
alkali-cellulose for ageing, to shorten cellulose chain length. The xanthation reaction is generally
formulated as follows:
ROH + NaOH + CS2 ROCS, SNa + H2O
The viscose produced is filtered in three stages to remove undissolved particles and impurities;
deaerated and is extruded under pressure through spinnerets, kept submerged in a coagulating
bath where cellulose is regenerated as fine filaments. The flowchart showing entire VSF
manufacturing process is given in Figure - 4.
Detailed description of manufacturing process of VSF is given as under:
The Process comprises of following stages:
1. Viscose Preparation
2. Spinning Bath Preparation
3. Spinning of Viscose Solution
4. After treatment of Fibre
1. Viscose Preparation
a) Slurry Steeping
For mercerization of Rayon Grade Pulp, Pulpers are used. Rayon Grade Pulp (cellulose) is
reacted with 18% Caustic Soda Solution. Pulp are dumped in Slurry Mixer tanks fitted with
high-speed agitators to form slurry with caustic soda. Slurry thus obtained, are pumped to a
homogeniser tank from which the slurry is continuously sent to Slurry Press, where excess
caustic soda is squeezed out and slurry is squeezed into blanket. The excessive caustic soda
is recycled to the Caustic Soda Station for make-up and recycle. The squeezed blanket from
slurry presses enters into a three roll continuous shredder through a coarse pre-shredding
arrangement.
b) Ageing
The shredded alkali-cellulose is fed into a long, slowly-rotating, jacketed ageing / maturing
drum having exterior jacket through which water is circulated at controlled temperature or
Aging Box to maintain desired temperature of alkali-cellulose to control ageing, which is
accomplished in 4-6 hours. The alkali-cellulose is discharged by a pneumatic conveying
system into a load-cell mounted hopper and finally discharged into a series of xanthators.

Pre - Feasibility Report
M/s. Grasim Industries Ltd. 12(Staple Fibre Division)
c) Xanthation
The aged alkali-cellulose is made to react with Carbon-Disulphide under vacuum in
Xanthator for an approximate time of 50 minutes to produce Cellulose Xanthate, which is
later dissolved in chilled 3% Caustic Soda Solution. The entire process is accomplished in wet
condition to avoid exposure of gases. From the Xanthator, discharging is done by remote
control without any manual handling.
The xanthator is a large capacity vessel with jacket and two-speed agitator of special design.
After charging alkali cellulose, it is tightly covered and vacuum of 600-650 mm Hg is applied.
The agitator is run at slow speed and the required quantity of carbon disulphide is admitted
through a spray-pipe. With instant vaporisation of carbon-disulphide, the vacuum drops but
with the progress of the reaction in Xanthation, the vacuum is regained. At this stage, the
charge of dilute caustic soda is taken into the xanthator. The xanthator is then exhausted
and xanthate slurry is dropped into a dissolver.
for thorough dissolving through coarse and fine disintegrators.
The dissolvers are energy-efficient equipments with impeller of special design. The dissolver
is cooled by circulating chilled water through its jacket for low temperature dissolving.
d) Dissolving
In dissolver, Xanthate slurry is thoroughly dissolved through coarse and fine disintegrators
for about 3 hrs. to dissolve cellulose xanthate into viscose solution.
The dissolvers are energy-efficient equipments with impeller of special design. The dissolver
is cooled by circulating chilled water through its jacket for low temperature dissolving.
e) Ripening, Filtration & De-aeration
This system consists of blenders, receiving tanks, first stage filtration, first intermediate
tank, second stage filtration, second intermediate tank, flash deaerator, third stage
filtration and spinning tanks.
Viscose produced in Dissolvers is ripened in ripening room for about 12 hrs. under controlled
temperature conditions. Viscose solution is pumped into series of tanks and passed through
3 stages of filters for removing undissolved impurities. Viscose solution is also passed
through high vacuum flash de-aerators for removing entrapped air. The filtered and de-
aerated viscose is collected in spinning tanks. The spinning tank is a closed tank and viscose
is pumped to spinning machine from the spinning tank.
2. Spinning Bath Preparation
A coagulating bath (Spin bath) used for regeneration of cellulose in viscose in the form of fibre is
composed of Sulphuric Acid, Sodium Sulphate, Zinc Sulphate, Alum and Water. During
regeneration, the alkali present in the viscose reacts with sulphuric acid to form sodium sulphate

and water. Hence, there is a continuous depletion of Sulphuric Acid and build-up of Sodium
Sulphate in the spin bath.
The preparation of spin bath is carried out in a series of equipment like circulation tanks, spin bath
filters, evaporators, and crystallizer and, rotary vacuum filters. The dilution of spin bath occurs
due to large water content in viscose and water generation by the reaction of caustic soda and
sulphuric acid in spin bath.
A continuous stream of spin bath is drawn from the system for water evaporation and
crystallisation of Sodium Sulphate. Fresh 98% concentrated sulphuric acid and Zinc are added to
the system to make up for their dilution. Water evaporation is carried out in a series of in Multi -
Effect Evaporators (MEE). The removal of sodium sulphate from the system is brought about by
the crystallisation in the form of glauber salt, and then converted in to anhydrous sodium
sulphate. Spin bath is purified by passing through pressure filters and heaters to acquire desired
temperature. It is continuously fed to Spinning Dept. from gravity tanks.
Anhydrous Sodium Sulphate Manufacturing
Glauber salt crystals are melted in their own water of crystallization and the water is evaporated
from the resultant liquor in 3 stage Anhydrous Evaporators, which is subsequently thickened in
settler and filtered to remove sodium sulphate. Further, removal of water is accomplished in a
Drum type dryer and almost bone-dry salt is bagged for sending it to Customers.
The hot air exhausted from the salt dryer is passed through a cyclone separator, water scrubber
for complete removal of carryover of salt.
3. Spinning of Viscose Solution
The filtered and de-aerated viscose is sent to Staple Fibre Extrusion Machines through spinnerets.
A coagulating bath (Spin bath) consisting of Sulphuric Acid, Sodium Sulphate and Zinc Sulphate is
used for regeneration of cellulose in viscose.
Viscose is forced under pressure through very fine holes contained in cup shape nozzles
(Spinnerets) immersed in coagulating / regenerating bath (called Spin bath). Emerging viscose
filaments are coagulated and regenerated into fine filaments, accompanied by formation of
Sodium Sulphate.
The machine produces fibre of various denier and length. The regenerated fibre is subjected to
stretch during entire generation process, which the molecules along the length of the fibre to
impart the strength. During this stage as well carbon disulphide is recovered through series of
condensers and the liquid CS2 is collected in tanks, purified and reused in xanthation process. This
stage also maintains very efficient recirculation system and exhaust system.

4. After Treatment of Fibre
Fibre is washed, de-sulphurized and bleached to remove undesirable sulphur and colour. It is then
soft finished, and dried in Drum type fibre dryers. Dried fibre is opened and sent to baling press for
packing.
The fibre fleece from the carbon-disulphide recovery system is sent to latest technology after
treatment machine for purification. This machine has number of washing and treatment zones.
The fibre fleece passes through these zones where it gets de-sulphurised, washed and bleached to
remove undesirable sulphur and colour. To avoid wastage and to maintain proper concentration of
treatment liquors, a very efficient recirculation system with squeezing arrangement is designed.
An efficient exhaust system is also provided on the machine.
Fibre is then soft finished, and dried in Drum type fibre dryers. Dried fibre is opened and sent to
baling press for packing.

Solvent Spun Cellulosic Fibre
The solvent spinning process is a recent development which facilitates production of cellulosic
fibres which are free of environmental polluting substances. The solvent employed is N-Methyl
Morpholine N-Oxide (NMMO) or Ionic Liquid (IL), which does not pose any critical hazard to man
and environment.
There are three processing stages in this process:
1. Producing a homogeneous solution from pulp, NMMO/ Ionic Liquid and water
In this first step, rayon grade pulp is pre-treated with a 60% aqueous solution of NMMO/ Ionic
Liquid in a high speed pulper to form 7-9% slurry.
This slurry is then introduced into a special high viscosity mixing equipment which is operated
under vacuum to effect evaporation of water from the above slurry. At a certain composition of
Pulp/NMMO (or Ionic Liquid)/Water, the cellulose in the pulp goes into solution in the NMMO/IL-
water combination.
2. Fibre forming/spinning process
The solution which is formed as above is worked through suitable nozzles at a range of
temperatures around 100°C depending on the viscosity of the solution. The cellulose is
regenerated after passing through an air gap into the spinning baths, the concentration of which
lie outside the solution range. The fibres are drawn off, washed, bleached, finished, dried and
baled.
3. Recovery of NMMO/ Ionic Liquid from the regenerating and washing baths:
The baths are filtered, purified, concentrated and then recycled for dissolution of pulp. The
proportion of NMMO/ Ionic Liquid that can be recovered is reported over 99.5%. Thus the process
practically becomes a “closed process”.

Sulphuric Acid Plant
The sulphuric acid plant is based on DCDA technology with high heat-recovery and gas scrubbing
system for better pollution control. 98% Sulphuric Acid is manufactured from rock sulphur by
contact process. The powdered sulphur is melted in sulphur melting pits. It is purified in a series of
setting chambers and leaf type filters.
The cleaned sulphur is burnt with air to yield sulphur dioxide. This is accomplished in a furnace,
which is lined with suitable refractory. The temperature of gases leaving furnace is around 1000°C.
These gases are cooled to about 430°C in a waste heat boiler where steam is generated. The
cooled gases are first filtered in a hot gas filter before feeding to a five-stage converter. The
converter has Vanadium Pentoxide catalyst spread over different beds. Sulphur dioxide and
oxygen in air react together to form sulphur trioxide. This reaction being exothermic in nature,
the temperature of gas increases. It is brought down to 420-°C before it is fed to subsequent
stages. Gases after third stage of conversion, which are sufficiently rich in sulphur trioxide, are fed
to Absorber I for absorption of sulphur trioxide.
The temperature of gases is brought down to 150 °C before their entry into Absorber – I. The
unabsorbed gases are reheated by the incoming gases in indirect heat exchangers and fed to
fourth stage of converter. The gases after the fifth stage are again cooled and fed to Absorber –
II. The unabsorbed gases comprising mainly inert, air, traces of sulphur dioxide, sulphur trioxide
and acid mist are discharged into atmosphere through scrubber. Air used in the process is first
dried in a drying tower.
98% acid is used for absorption for sulphur trioxide and air drying. The sulphuric acid thus gets
concentrated continuously. Soft water is added to maintain the concentration around 98%. There
is considerable heat evolved during absorption of sulphur trioxide in Sulphuric Acid and during
dilution of sulphuric acid with water. Further heat is also taken-up by acid due to sensible heat loss
by gases. The sulphuric acid is continuously cooled to desired temperature in heat exchangers.
Acid circulation tanks and pumps are used for maintaining the supply of requisite concentration of
sulphuric acid to various towers. Product acid is continuously drawn off.
Captive Power Plant Process details:
M/s. Grasim Industries Limited (Staple Fibre Division) has an existing Coal based Co-generation
Thermal Power Plant of 30 MW. The company is now proposing for expansion in Captive Power
plant capacity thereby taking the total capacity to 55 MW.
Power Generation Process
The Turbine will be a Double extraction-cum-condensing Turbine. The turbine system is based on
Modified Rankine Cycle.
In the new turbine system, superheated steam at ~60 Kg/cm2 (ata) pressure and 480°C
temperature from boiler will be fed to the turbine. The steam expands in the turbine giving up

heat energy, a high proportion of which is converted into work energy on the turbine shaft. The
turbine shaft turns an electrical generator, which produces electric power.
Since, it will be an extraction turbine, some of the steam passing through the turbine cylinder will
be bled from two extraction belts located after moving blade stage and fed to High Pressure Feed
Water Heater, Deaerator and will be used for various processes in Viscose Staple Fibre (VSF)
manufacturing. The first extraction will be of 18.5 Kg/cm2 (ata) pressure and 333.6°C, which will be
used for feed water heating in HP heater and in VSF manufacturing. The second extraction will be
of 150.74 TPH at 4.7 Kg/cm2 (ata) and 206.5°C which 38.74 TPH will be used as feed water heating
steam in deaerator and for VSF manufacturing processes.
Finally, the steam after doing work in various turbine stages and two extractions will be exhausted
to the condenser. In condenser, which is surface type heat exchanger, the steam is condensed by
transferring its latent heat of evaporation to the cooling water. The steam having been condensed
will be pumped by condensate extraction pumps from condenser hot well to deaerator via Steam
Jet Air Ejector and Gland Steam Condenser to increase the temperature of feed water to 145.7°C
(at deaerator outlet) and remove dissolved gases such as O2, CO2 etc. Deaerator is a direct contact
heat exchanger, here make-up water is taken.
Boiler Feed Pump pumps feed water from deaerator to boiler drum via high pressure feed water
heater. The temperature of feed water after HP heater will be 196°C. The Boiler Feed Pump
increases the feed water pressure to a level in excess of the boiler drum, to provide for pressure
loss in the boiler and HP heater.
The power generated will be used for manufacturing Viscose Staple Fibre.

Description of Effluent Treatment Plant
Effluents get generated in the process at several points and can be classified under three
broad, i.e. alkaline, acidic and neutral. The contaminants from the various sources undergo
changes when the effluent streams merge with one another. The merger of acidic and alkaline
effluents results in partial neutralization of acidity. Cellulose present in a dissolved state in the
alkaline effluent is regenerated and remains as suspended matter in the above effluent. Our
efforts in effluent treatment have been directed at removal of undesirable constituents from
the sources before they merge so that the final effluent meets the prescribed specifications.
Main emphasis to achieve the above has been to reduce the effluent waste load in various
streams by in-plant measures, aimed at maximum possible recovery of chemicals and recycling
of various streams. The effluent treatment process adopted by us involves the following
steps:
i. Free Acid Neutralization and Zinc Removal
Acidic wash water is strained to remove any suspended fibre and fed to a lime dozing
chamber where it reacts with 7-10 % lime slurry. Dozing of lime is regulated to maintain pH of
9.5 to 10.0. Calcium Sulphate and Zinc Hydroxide precipitate out in accordance with the
following reactions.
H2SO4 + Ca (OH) 2 = CaSO4 + 2H2O
ZnSO4 + Ca (OH) 2 = Zn (OH) 2 + CaSO4
The Slurry containing precipitated Calcium Sulphate and Zinc Hydroxide goes to the lime
sludge clarifier. Overflow from the lime sludge clarifier is allowed to mix with the balance
factory effluent on the downstream side to Belt Press to yield cack and mixed with Bio-sludge
containing 80% moisture which is fed to Boiler after mixing with coal to utilize heat value. The
filtrate of is recycled to the lime dozing chamber for re-clarification.
Neutralization of sulphuric acid is completed and efficiency of the zinc removal from acid wash
water is better than 95%.
The lime preparation station comprises a lime warehouse, strainer to trap hessian and / or
polythene pieces and a pump to deliver the lime slurry to a settler, where heavy sand particles
settle down and are removed periodically. Overflow from lime settler constitutes the lime
slurry dose for free acid neutralization and zinc precipitation.
ii. Removal of Suspended Impurities
Suspended impurities of the fibrous type are removed at source by straining the effluent
through hessain bags. In addition, straining grids have been installed along the route of the
effluent to trap the residual fibrous impurities. Further, the balance effluent is passed through
a grit chamber to trap large-sized extraneous material impurities. The outlet from the grit

chamber mixes with the overflow of the lime sludge clarifier before being routed to the
primary clarifier for settling of suspended cellulosic particles.
iii. BOD Reduction
Effluent water from existing Primary Clarifier is taken to an Equalization Tank equipped with a
powerful mixer. Main function of Equalization Tank is to dampen the variations of
temperature, pH and BOD in water and also to act as a reaction chamber for adjusting pH in
the range 6.5 - 8.5 by adding necessary quantities of Hydrochloric acid or lime. Strict control of
pH in the range 6.5 - 8.5 is affected with the help of an automatic feedback pH controller.
Water with pH values between 6.5 - 8.5 and having nutrients in the ratio of BOD: N:P: (100:5:1)
is fed to Biological Reactor. In Biological Reactor, maintaining desired food to
microorganisms' ratio and dissolved oxygen concentration in water reduces BOD of
wastewater. Required concentration of mixed liquor suspended solids is maintained by 100 %
recalculation ratio and excess sludge is taken to Sludge Thickner. Oxygen for wastewater is
supplied with the help of surface aerators. Outlet water from Biological Reactor is taken to
Secondary Clarifier where suspended solids are allowed to settle, and overflow conforming to
specified standards is discharged to nallah leading to Chambal River. Settled solids in
Secondary Clarifier are recycled back to Biological Reactor.
iv. Sludge Thickening and Dewatering
The precipitated sludge after mixing of acid and alkaline streams in Primary Clarifier is fed to
Second Sludge Thickner. Underflow from Second Sludge Thickner is fed to First Sludge
Thickner for further thickening. Excess solids from the Biological Reactor are mixed with
Second Sludge Thickner slurry and fed to First Sludge Thickner.
Concentration of solids in primary and secondary sludge is increased to 3.5 - 4.0 % by adding
polyelectrolyte in First Sludge Thickner. Slurry from First Sludge Thickner is fed to Belt Press to
obtain a cake of sludge with around 20% solids.
The dewatered Effluent Treatment Plant Sludge is collected in Trolleys and sent to the Power
Plant for burning in existing coal fired Boilers.

(iii) Topography
The Malwa region occupies a plateau in western Madhya Pradesh and south-eastern Rajasthan
with Gujarat in the west. Malwa is bounded in the north-east by the Hadoti region, in the north-
west by the Mewar region, in the west by the Vagad region and Gujarat. To the south and east is
the Vindhya Range and to the north is the Bundelkhand upland.
The plateau is an extension of the Deccan Traps and the volcanic, clay-like soil of the region owes
its black colour to the high iron content of the basalt from which it formed. The average elevation
of the plateau is 500 m. The plateau generally slopes towards the north. The western part of the
region is drained by the Mahi River, while the Chambal River drains the central part, and the Betwa
River and the headwaters of the Dhasan and Ken rivers drain the east.

(vii) Climatic data from secondary sources
Madhya Pradesh has a subtropical climate. Like most of north India, it has a hot dry summer
(April–June), followed by monsoon rains (July–September) and a cool and relatively dry winter.
The average rainfall is about 1,370 mm (53.9 in). It decreases from west to east because monsoon
wind moves from west to east and drained clouds in western part takes less quantity of water
vapours with them to eastern part. The south-western districts have the heaviest rainfall, some
places receiving as much as 2,150 mm (84.6 in), while the western and north-western districts
receive 1,000 mm (39.4 in) or less.

Recurring Cost: Rs. 10 Crores/annum.
9.0 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL
(i) Financial and social benefits with special emphasis on the benefit to the local people including
tribal population, if any, in the area.
The state of Madhya Pradesh will get revenues in terms of taxes, local people will get opportunity
in terms of indirect employment and business opportunity like transport of VSF to the market will
increase. Nearby people will get opportunity to improve their livelihood. No additional land will be
required, existing land is sufficient for the proposed expansion project; hence there will be no
impact on the land use pattern of the project study area. Adequate measures will be adhered to
keep the pollution level within prescribed standards. Proposed Expansion Project will result in
growth of the surrounding areas by enhancing opportunity in indirect employment in the region
including ancillary development and supporting infrastructure. Development of social amenities
will be provided in the form of medical facilities, education to underprivileged and creation of self-
help groups.
Considering all the above, it may be observed that the proposed expansion will be an eco-friendly
plant, which will produce very negligible dust emission, shall have no effluent discharge.
