UNIT 3 – 1X660 MW

(COAL BASED SUPERCRITICAL POWER PLANT)

Promoted By

LANCO AMARKANTAK POWER LTD.,

GURGAON

BACKGROUND:

Lanco Amarkantak Power Limited (LAPL) is setting up coal based supercritical power generation

unit of 660 MW capacity (Unit No. 3) near Korba in Chhattisgarh State which is at an advanced

stage of construction.

The Project is 95% complete in respect of the Main Plant (Boiler, Turbine-Generator), and

progress in respect of the Balance of Plant (BOP) comprising Coal and Ash Handling Systems,

Cooling Water (CW) System, Electrical Systems, etc. is about 70%.. PL is regularly submitting

Compliance Reports to MoEF&CC Regional office, MoEF&CC-Delhi, CECB-Raipur and uploading

on the Ministry website as per the conditions laid down in the EC.

Environment Clearance (EC) for Unit-3 was received on 31.12.2007 vide EC No J-13011/44/2007-

IA.II(T) for 600 MW capacity which was subsequently amended on 04.09.2008 for 660 MW unit

capacity vide EC No J-13011/44/2008-IA.II(T). The EC was received with validity period of 5 years

to start of production by the Power Plant i.e., till 31.12.2012. The validity of the EC was further

extended for a period of 5 years up to 30th Dec 2017.

Permission to Establish by Chhattisgarh Energy Conservation Board (CECB), Raipur was issued

vide its letter dated 04.06.2008 (For 600 MW Capacity) which was amended for 660 MW capacity

on 11.02.2010 i.e., after around 2 years from the date of EC.

The Project was started with Notice to Proceed to EPC Contractor in June 2010. In the first 18

months, the project was on fast track and achieved significant construction progress in Main

Plant as well as Balance of Plant (BOP) areas.

The project got delayed due to reasons beyond the control of LAPL of which, the major reasons

are enumerated below:

• Delay in obtaining physical possession of land for certain BOP facilities due to frequent

disturbances by locals interrupting the construction activities.

• Midway changes in plant layout and re-engineering due to the above delay in obtaining

physical possession of land and additional conditions imposed by CECB and Indian

Railways

• Midway changes in Mega Power Policy which impacted Customs clearance and imported

equipment supplies.

• Deteriorating macroeconomic factors, overall economic slowdown have adversely

affected the power sector in general, also led to delay of the Amarkantak Project

About 95% of the Boiler, Turbine and Generator works are completed and 70% of Balance of

Plant (BOP) has been completed as on date.

The baseline status recorded during the preparation of the REIA report for Unit-3 is compared

with the baseline data generated in the last three years.

LAPL has carried out EIA studies for 2 x 300 MW i.e., Unit-1 and Unit-2 during summer 2004 covering the

months of March ’04 – May ’04. No industrial activities have come up in the 10 km radius of the study

area from the year 2004 to 2007 except for construction activity of LAPL’s 2 X 300 MW.

The following is the summary of the baseline data collected for the preparation of the EIA report of Unit

3 (1x660MW) during the period March – May 2007. (Source: REIA Report of Unit-3)

Pathadi village is located nearer to the plant site at 0.35 Km with respect to Colony and 0.9 km

with respect to main plant (aerial distances). To assess the existing ambient air status in this

village, AAQ stations were located at these locations also. Based on the above, the AAQ stations

have been identified and data recorded at the following of ambient air quality stations are

presented in the following table:

The following is the Overall Scenario with the implementation of the Unit -3 (1x660MW) power

plant as given in the REIA Report.

OBSERVATIONS:

The above table clearly shows that the baseline scenario captured the operation of the existing

2x300 MW power plants (i.e) Unit 1 and Unit 2 and the likely contribution of the Unit-3 under

the predicted ground level concentrations.

LANCO has been continuously recording the baseline data at 4 locations outside the plant

(village – Pathadi, Saragbundia, Sandel and Khoddle) and at 4 locations inside the plant (

Switchyard, DM Plant,Ash Pond and Admin Building) and submitting the monthly reports to

MOEF&CC and the CECB as part of the compliance to the EC conditions. The following is the

trend graph plotted from the data recorded at Patadi village which is nearest to the plant in

the past three years namely 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17.

It may be observed from the above graphs of the ambient air quality recorded at Pathadi village

that there is no significant increase in the ambient air quality. This is summarized in the

following table:

CONCLSUION

The above table clearly shows that there is no significant increase in the baseline status

between the period 2007 to 2017 though the two units of LANCO namely Unit 1 and Unit 2 are

in operation.

It also shows that there are no new industries which have come up within 10 km radius of the

LANCO Power plant complex.

It may also be noted that the Korba town is beyond 13 km (aerial distance) and the MOEF&CC

has lifted the ban on the industries located in KORBA after improvement in the CEPI Index.

REQUEST

LANCO has been consistently monitoring the baseline data and complying with the conditions

stipulated in the Environmental Clearances granted for the project.

The project study area has not witnessed any industrial actitvity other than the power plants

of LANCO.

Considering the above, LANCO requests the MOEF&CC to permit submission of an updated EIA

report and exempt the conduct of Public Hearing for renewing the Environmental Clearance

for Unit-3.
