1.3 Brief description of nature of the project

The proposed modernization project will be on Plot no A-18, MIDC Mahad, Mahad with land

admeasuring 27007 Sq. Meters. Preliminary Layout Plan is attached. The land is already purchased by

Hikal, and is not a prime Agricultural land. Thus there is no change in the land use status.

Proposed modernization project manufacturing of pesticides, insecticides & fungicides will have total

capacity of 965 MT/M and byproducts having total capacity of 1300.78 MT/M.



1.4 Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region

Hikal Limited is a global supplier of Pesticides, insecticides & fungicides to the other chemical companies

worldwide. Hikal aims to expand its product portfolio further in order to cater to domestic &

international markets by expanding its production capacities. These products will serve to cut the supply

of imports from foreign countries thus saving currency and at the same time will earn valuable foreign

currency by export of the proposed products.

1.5 Demands-Supply Gap

Competition in the Indian Chemical market swelled in recent years, with increasing generic penetration.

This had many companies opting out of low-margin segments, as competition resulted in lower prices.

This created a gap between demand and supply. Such unusual price hikes take place when there is

withdrawal of some of the key competitors, which leads to demand override and as a consequence

prices start soaring in a free-pricing market.

1.6 Imports vs. Indigenous Production

The proposed products including production of pesticides having high in demand in the export market.

Also their demand is increasing in the domestic market. Production of these pesticides and chemical

intermidate are domestically reduces the need to import these in future along with significant scope for

export in these products.

1.7 Domestic /Export Markets

The finished goods will be sold in domestic market and would be exported to the Regulated

International Market as per demand.

Existing Treatment Scheme for Trade Effluent

Primary treatment:

The system is designed to treat 250 m3/day of wastewater. The Effluent is collected in the

collection/equalization tank through Oil & Grease Trap, where floating oil & grease is removed manually.

The equalization tank is provided with alkali dosing & acid dosing arrangement for pH neutralization &

coarse bubble diffuser is provided to mix the wastewater. Alum and Poly is dosed in the equalization

tank itself. This effluent is pumped to Primary Settling tank provided with Hopper bottom. Suspended

and coagulated solids get settled at the bottom of settling tank which is pumped to decanter. Filtrate

from decanter is taken back to neutralization tank and sludge is taken to sludge drying beds. Clear

supernatant will overflow into the bioreactor.

Secondary treatment:

The neutralized effluent is entering the bioreactor. In the bio reactor, dissolved organic material is

degraded by the micro–organisms present in the bio reactor. Oxygen required for the oxidation of

organic matter will be provided by means of proposed diffuser aeration system which will mix the

contents of the bioreactor also. The mixed liquor will overflow into Secondary Settling Tank (SST).

In the secondary settling tank, solid-liquid separation takes place and solids i.e. biomass will settle at the

bottom of the tank. Settled biomass is recycled to the bio reactor for maintaining the MLVSS

concentration by using proposed sludge recycle pumps and excess biomass is wasted periodically to the

sludge sump. The clear overflow from the Secondary Settling Tank fed to tertiary treatment.

Tertiary treatment:

The system is designed to treat 250 m3/day of wastewater. The clear effluent from secondary tank shall

be pumped through a pressure sand filter (PSF) for removing any fine solids escaping the secondary

Settling tank & then from Activated Carbon filter for removal of color & odor. The final treated water

shall be collected in the final treated water tank. From here it will discharge to CETP.



Sludge Dewatering

The sludge generated from the primary and secondary settling tank is pumped to sludge drying bed. The

wet sludge obtained from the sludge drying beds will be sent for disposal to Common Hazardous Waste

Treatment Storage Disposal Facility.

considered as the Land of freedom fighters. Many revolutionary freedom movements of India originated

in Mahad. It is famous for the water satyagraha of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar for Dalits at Chavdar Tale,

which played as turning point in Indian sociopolitical history.

Apart from this, it had a glorious history during the rule of the great Maratha King Shivaji. The capital of

hindavi swarajya and samadhi of Shivaji Maharaj is at Raigad fort. Which is around 24 km from city. It

was part of Birwadi Subha (Tehsil) and was ruled by Birwadi Subhedar's Kadams (Mahamunkars). The

samadhi of Shivaji's mother Jijabai is at Pachad situated at foothills of Raigad fort. The famous Hirkani

was from Raigadwadi village. It is true and widely accepted that the Shivaji's political victory was

followed by the social revolution carried out by his teacher Saint Tukaram. The village Umarath of Tanaji

Malusare & Kinjaloli of Murarbaji are also in vicinity of Mahad.
