2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION

(I) IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT AND PROJECT PROPONENT

The Aditya Birla Group is India's first truly multinational corporation. It is theeighth-largest cement producer in the world. Global in vision, rooted in Indianvalues, the Group is driven by a performance ethic pegged on value creation forits multiple stakeholders. A US $41 billion (Rs. 2, 50,000 Crore) corporation, theAditya Birla Group is in the League of Fortune 500. Anchored by anextraordinary force of over 120,000 employees, belonging to 42 nationalities.Over 50 per cent of its revenues flow from its overseas operations spanning 36countries.UltraTech Cement Ltd. has an installed capacity of 67.7 Million Ton Per Annum(MTPA) of grey cement. UltraTech Cement has 12 integrated plants, 1clinkerisation plant, 18 grinding units and 7 bulk terminals. Its operations spanacross India, UAE, Bahrain, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. UltraTech Cement is alsoIndia's largest exporter of cement reaching out to meet the demand in countriesaround the Indian Ocean and the Middle East.In the white cement segment, UltraTech goes to market under the brand name ofBirla White. It has a white cement plant with a capacity of 0.56 MTPA and 2 Wall

Care putty plants with a combined capacity of 0.8 MTPA. With 101 Ready MixConcrete (RMC) plants in 35 cities, UltraTech is the largest manufacturer ofconcrete in India. It also has a slew of specialty concretes that meet specificneeds of discerning customers.(II) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT

UltraTech Cement Limited (UTCL) (Unit : Bokaro Cement Works) proposesto install Cement Grinding unit of 3.0 MTPA capacity at Gorabali Village (BaliihPost), Bokaro District of Jharkhand State. UltraTech will manufacture OrdinaryPortland Cement (OPC), Protland Pozzolona Cement (PPC) & Portland SlagCement (PSC) from the plant.Details of the production capacities are given in table below :

S. No. Product Total Capacity (MT/day)1 OPC 1500 – 20002 PPC 2000 – 30003 PSC 6000 – 9000Note : *The total quantity will not be more than 3.0 MTPA.

(III) NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND ORREGIONIndian cement industry is large, growing and with consumption of185kg/capita/year in 2011 (compared to global average of ~300kg/capita/year) the country itself has the capacity to demand significantly morecement as it develops.Now with the government of India giving push to various infrastructure projects,housing facilities and road networks, the cement industry in India is currentlygrowing at an enviable pace and further growth in the Indian cement industry isexpected in the coming years. Therefore, there is an urgent need to increase theproduction capacity in the country.Hence, UTCL proposes to install a cement grinding unit of 3.0 MTPA capacity tocater the demand of cement in the regiona of Jharkhand.(IV) DEMAND- SUPPLY GAPCement growth is expected to be above the GDP growth of the country, which isexpected to be around 8% for the coming years. The Indian cement Industry ispoised for a period of significant growth and the demand for cement is expected

to match the current availability by the end of the current fiscal. Cement demandhas registered a CAGR of about 8.5% over the last decade. In fact, at the currentlevels of growth, the cement industry may have to add over 90 Million Tons ofcement capacity to meet the demand for cement over the next 5 years.Cement companies were operating at levels below capacity in the past but withthe demand and supply reaching equilibrium; almost all plants are working atabove 90% capacity. The rate of growth in cement demand is growing at a fasterpace as compared to the capacity expansion. This will improve the realizations ofthe industry in the coming year.(V) IMPORTS Vs INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION

Imports are not feasible. No cement export is envisaged. Cement produced in thestate will be consumed domestically.(VI) DOMESTIC/EXPORT MARKETS

The entire production is envisaged for the domestic market. The proposedcement production will cater to the cement demands in the state of Jharkhandand other neighboring states.(VIII) EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT AND INDIRECT) DUE TO THEPROJECT

Direct and indirect employment will be generated due to the project. Duringconstruction phase, employment opportunity to approximately 800 – 1000persons is estimated.The total manpower requirement for the project will be 60 - 100 personsincluding skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled category during operational phase.

From the silo, clinker is being conveyed tomill hopper by a combination of extraction equipment and belt conveyors.Fly ash handling: Fly ash from source is being transported closed containers & fed intosilo through pneumatic / mechanized system. Fly Ash extraction arrangement is directlyinstalled just below the silo and fed to cement mill.Gypsum storage & handling : Gypsum received by road / rail and unloaded by wagontippler / Truck Tiplers and transported by a belt conveyor and stored in a covered shed.

Gypsum being reclaimed by pay loader & dozer and fed to ground level hopper / BRUfor further conveying to Mill hoppers.Slag storage & handling: Slag will be received by Rail / road and unloaded by WagonTipler / truck tippler and transported to storage by a belt conveyor. Slag will bereclaimed by re-claimer / Pay Loader & Dozer for further conveying to Mill hoppers byconveyors.Cement Production: For PPC Production Clinker, Flyash and Gypsum is grounded inRoller Press / VRM and for PSC clinker with gypsum and slag is ground in Roller Press /VRM and for the composite cement Clinker, Flyash, Slag and Gypsum are grounded inRoller Press / VRM. In VRM / Roller Press, Set of rollers are used for grinding. Thedischarge from Mill is being lifted by air fed to a high efficiency separator. Fines fromthe separator being collected in the cyclones / Bag House and further transported to theCement Silo. The coarse material from the separator is being fed directly to the MillTable / Roller Press. Partial quantity of Separator circulating air is vented through a BagFilter / Bag House. Fines collected in a Bag House are being transported to CementStorage Silo by a System of Air Slides & Elevator. Further also Slag and Clinker withGypsum is ground separately in Mill / Roller Press and store in silos. At Silo extractionMixer is installed to mix the OPC & Ground slag for manufacturing of PSC cement andPPC and Ground slag is mixed in mixer for manufacturing of Composite cement. Allthese cement are stored in separate Cement silos.Hot Air Generator with Coal Grinding Mill: Hot air required for removal of moisture.Hot air is generated from hot air generator. Coal shall be used as fuel which will beground in Coal Mill.Cement Packing and Dispatch: Rotary electronic packing machines will be used forpacking of cement. Loading of packed bags on trucks shall be done by truck loadingmachines by operators.(VI) RAW MATERIAL REQUIRED ALONG WITH ESTIMATED QUANTITY, LIKELYSOURCE, MARKETING AREA OF FINAL PRODUCTS/S, MODE OF TRANSPORT OFRAW MATERIAL AND FINISHED PRODUCTThe raw material requirement and source of the raw materials for the cement grindingunit is given in table below :
