1. Introduction M/s. MarutiMica is individual firm proposing and set up a medium scale Resin and Laminated
Sheet Manufacturing unit atSurvey no. 88, plot no. 7, Hadantala Industrial Zone,Gondal
Highway, B/h Santosh Petrol Pump, Tal. KotdaSangani, Dist. Rajkot, Gujarat, India
2. ProjectProponent and their back ground M/s. Maruti Mica is promoted by Partners and has wide experience of 3 yrs.
A detail of individual is as given below.
3. Brief description of nature of the project As per the EIA Notifications, 2006 & subsequent amendments, the proposed project comes
under category ‘A’ listed at item 5(f). The project is located outside the notified industrial area.
Therefore, the category of the proposed project will come under category ‘A’. The unit has
proposed of manufacturing capacity of synthetic resins adhesives 710 MT/M & Laminated Sheet
855 MT/M (2,13,750 Nos. sheet/Month).Total project cost is 159.4 Lakhs(1.594 crore).
4. Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region:
Resins are used predominately in the wood based product manufacturing industry as
adhesives. Growth of the resin market is strongly correlated to constructions/remodelling activity
(which accounts for over 50% of consumption), and to a lesser degree, to the automotive
industry.
The proposed products like (Urea Formaldehyde, Melamine Formaldehyde, Phenol
Formaldehyde, Cardanol Phenol Formaldehyde) mainly used to manufacture Laminated
Sheets. These sheets have good market demand to develop the home and office for furniture.

Demand-Supply Gap:
Laminated sheets are becoming very popular particularly plastics, paper & wooden. Wooden
laminates are highly popular.
Laminations are used for industrial purposes as well as decorative purposes. Industrial
lamination is used mainly for packaging materials. To looking its uses we can say that there is
good scope for any new entrants.
Indian market for laminates is mainly driven by increasing demand from housing market. The
demand has increased due to growing significance of new construction industry. Laminates
have become an indispensable part of big and evolving markets. The increased demand in
these markets triggers the demand in the laminates market. Apart from this, increasing urban
population, rising per capita income a gradual shift towards non-food industry are other key
factors driving the growth of laminates industry in India. The combined worth of the plywood and
laminates industry is believed to be the tune of Rs. 21,000 crore per year, with laminates
accounting for a share of approximately Rs.3300 crore, and the industry is expected to keep on
growing further in the years to come.
Global demand for decorative laminates is expected to rise 5.6 percent per year to 10.7 billion
square meters in 2018, valued at $40.8 billion. Demand will benefit from expected increases in
the manufacture of products such as cabinets, ready to assemble (RTA) furniture, and flooring,
which are often made from laminated engineered wood. Gains will also be driven by increased
market penetration at the expense of other surfacing materials (wood veener and paint) due to
cost and performance benefits. Laminates will benefit from the continued improvement in
textures and in printing techniques that create advanced graphics rivalling the aesthetics of
alternative materials.
Import v/s. Indigenous production:
Indian market is open and big that is why very kind of import is blooming. Indian plywood and
panel trade has become global place as the consumption of different imported ply panels are on
the rise. Unlike before Indians are now welcomed by plywood manufacture by China. Earlier
India was a self-dependent country for commercial or high quality plywood, but sharp drop in
manufacturing output has resulted in material sourcing from countries like Burma, Malaysia,
Indonesia, China, Vietnam etc. Now Indian plywood market is somehow curtailed or competed
by incoming panel products from china. Be it film face, decorative, laminate or MR plywood
everything is now being imported partially or more and is sold. Indian industrialists must
understand the fact that it’s no more a regional shift, it is a global shift. Indian technology should
be upgraded and updated as per the international standards.
The working environment in India has changed tremendously. Earlier the trade fairs were hardly
participated by foreign timber, lumber and plywood manufacturing companies where as now it is
flooded with global suppliers. Export possibility:
There is market of Resins as well apart from laminated sheets. Resins are intermediate
products for manufacturing of Laminated Sheets. Resins are quite expensive for export, as
compared to the export of laminated sheets. So we have only local market for sale for resins.
Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project:
This project has provided direct employment to 9 persons whereas it will provide employment to
9 others indirectly.
5. Project Description
(i) Type of project including interlinked and interdependent projects.
Resins including U.F. resin, M.F. resin, P.F. resin& C.P.F. resin are used in production of
laminated sheets and plywood. So, plywood industries, laminated sheets industries will be
interdependent or resin industries.

(xi) Topography (along with map)
Soil Environment
Soil is our most important natural resource and a natural resource is anything that comes from
the earth and is used by us. We depend on the soil for food, clothing, shelter, minerals, clay &
water. Soil is the seat of many macro and micro flora like algae, fungi, earthworms, bacteria etc.
These are very beneficial in promoting soil reactions and decomposing the organic matter by
which essential nutrients for plants are liberated. Most of the soil is made-up of two main parts:
Tiny bits of mineral particles which come from larger rocks, and humus, which is dark brown in
color and consists of decaying remains of plants and animals.
Soil also contains water, air and living organisms, such as fungi, bacteria, earthworms,
roundworms, insects, etc. Actually more living organisms live in the soil than above it.
Noise Control Measures:
Sources of noise pollution are pumps which will run occasionally during charging of reactor, or
emptying the tanker, pumping water in overhead tank, etc. or running vacuum pump in last
stage of operation. These operations would generate low level of noise. Proper maintenance of
all the equipment will be taken on a regular basis. Adequate protective measures in the form
providing ear muffs / earplugs to workers sensitive to low noise working in these areas and
greenbelt development shall further attenuate the noise transmission.
Green Belt Development and Rainwater Harvesting
In order to mitigate the air pollutants and to attenuate the noise generated by the plant as well
as improving the ecology and aesthetics of the area, the unit will develop green belt area of
3435.3m2
(33 % of total land area) within and around the industrial premises as well as on the
periphery of the premises
Environment Management Cell:
The proposed unit will provide / prepare an adequate Environmental Management Cell to
assure the regular and efficient working / operation as given below:
Health and Safety Measures:
All the personnel at the plant will be made aware about the hazardous substances stored at
the plant and risks associated with them.
Personnel engaged in handling of hazardous chemicals will be trained to respond in an
unlikely event of emergencies.
Safe work practices will be developed to provide for the control of hazards during operation
and maintenance.
The workers will be made aware about the hazards associated with manual handling of
chemicals.
Adequate fire-fighting facilities will be provided at the plant, including, Dry Chemical Powder
(DCP) type, water, mechanical foam type, CO2
The fire-fighting system and equipment will be tested and maintained as per relevant
standards.
type of Fire Extinguishers and sand
buckets. Personnel will be trained to combat the fire in various hazardous chemicals.
Safety measures in the form of Do’s and Don’ts will be displayed at strategic locations
especially in local language.
Good housekeeping will be maintained in and around the plant premises.
