SUMMARY
In accordance with the approved Terms of Reference (ToR) of
Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MoEFCC),
Government of India for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of
the proposed expansion of Tata Steel Works from 9.7 million tons
per annum (MTPA) to 11.0 MTPA crude steel, sited in Jamshedpur,
Jharkhand, this summary presents a brief outline of the EIA
findings and the proposed mitigation measures.
Glimpse of the Project
Capacity before Expansion .. 9.7 MTPA Crude Steel Capacity after Expansion .. 11.0 MTPA crude steel
Process route .. Production of hot metal through blast furnace followed by basic oxygen furnace (BOF) for conversion of hot metal to liquid steel, followed by Rolling in Caster & Rolling Mills (BF-BOF route)
Site .. Within the existing Steel plant
boundary of area 717 Ha at Jamshedpur, East Singhbhum, Jharkhand
Iron Ore Source .. Existing source, i.e, sized iron
ore and ore fines produced at the captive mines, namely Noamundi Iron Mine (NIM), Joda East Iron Mine (JEIM), Khondbond Iron Mine (KIM) and others.
Water Source .. No additional withdrawal of fresh
water from River Subarnarekha. Additional make up water requirement would be met through recycling from existing water system.
Electric Power .. Additional in-plant generation
from extra by-product gases and external sources such as Power Grid Corporation of

India Limited (PGCIL), Tata Power Company Limited (TPCL), Jojobera Power Plant and Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC).
Estimated Investment .. Project cost - Rs. 1,632 crores Env. Mgmt. - Rs. 195 crores ESC - Rs. 50 crores Total - Rs. 1,877 crores
Completion Period .. Two (2) to three (3) years after grant of Environment Clearance
1. Tata Steel Limited, Jamshedpur, has proposed to augment the
capacity of hot metal production from 10.55 MTPA to 12.5
MTPA, resulting in higher production of crude steel and
finished rolled outputs.
2. The major three steps of expansion of this 108 years old plant,
from 4 MTPA to 5 MTPA, then 5 MTPA to 6.8 MTPA and 6.8
MTPA to 9.7 MTPA production of crude steel, is almost on
the path of implementation and operation. Now, with the
present plan of expansion, the subsequent crude steel
production would be 11.0 MTPA.
3. The proposed expansion would purposefully and effectively
utilize the existing adequate infrastructure & trained human
resource, thereby contributing to countrys growing demand
for steel.
4. As required by the present EIA Notification of MoEFCC dated
14th September 2006 and its subsequent amendments
thereafter for obtaining EC, Tata Steel has submitted online
application for grant of Terms of Reference (ToR) of EIA for
this proposed expansion on 7th August 2014. The meeting
for obtaining ToR was held on 19th September 2014 and 9th
January 2015, after which ToR was granted vide letter No. F.
No. J-11011/691/2007-IA.II(I) dated 28th April, 2015.

in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand
Summary (Contd)

5. The additional production of about 1.3 MTPA crude steel
would be realized by augmentation of the production
capacities of following plant units; namely, Sinter Plant,
Pellet Plant, Steel melting shop & the Mills, revamping of
Blast furnace D & E, the installation of a new Lime plant of
600 TPD.
6. The enhanced production would be achieved by
improving productivity of the respective unit, stretching
the capacity of the technological unit to the possible
extent, de-bottlenecking of the process facilities and
addition of enablers as required.
7. This augmentation project would be taken up within the
existing plant of 717 ha (between 224611 and 224808
North latitude and 861130 to 861336 East longitude)
and no additional land would be required. Hence there would
be no Rehabilitation & Resettlement (R&R) issues related to
this project.
8. Water requirement for this expansion project would be
approx. 3.70 MGD (700 cum/hr). No additional make-up
water would be required to be drawn from River
Subarnarekha over and above the permissible limit of 33.3
MGD. The additional make-up water required by the
expansion would be made available from the plants existing
water system through recycling and reviewing the clarified
make-up water requirement.
9. The additional plant annual energy consumption for the
proposed augmentation of production capacity would be
around 690 Million kWh, which would be met from in-plant
generation from by-product gases as well as external sources
such as the Ramchandrapur-Baripada 400 kV line of Power
Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL) through Bulk

14. The total thermal energy requirement (excluding electrical)
for various process operations is estimated at 21.9 GJ/tcs.
This thermal energy would be derived from (i) coking coal,
(ii) coal to be injected into the BF (PCI coal) and
(iii) anthracite. An additional amount of Liquid Propane (LP)
would also be required for ladle heating and gas cutting of
steel products/scraps as and when required.
15. The plant would run for three shifts in a day, each shift of
8 hrs duration, throughout the year, except temporary
shutdown for capital repair or annual maintenance as and
when required. The proposed steel plant would be designed
with Level-4 automation systems to enable the plant and
machineries achieve higher productivity with improved
quality in a planned and coordinated manner.
16. The total manpower requirement would be around 37,000
which include an additional manpower of around 40
personnel for Lime plant. There would be a requirement of
additional contract manpower of the order of 200, during the
construction and augmentation activities.
17. The Construction Workforce during peak period would be
around 2000 in a day, the major labour component of which
would be made available from the local population.
18. All necessary Air Pollution Control (APC) measures have been
implemented for the production of 9.7 MTPA crude steel
through the commissioning and upgradation of pollution
control units. These APC units will also cater for the
increased load associated with the 11 MTPA expansion. The
additional pollution load would be mitigated by adopting
adequate control measures.

19. The issue which are envisaged for this expansion program
are
- Maintaining the PM emission levels from all stacks below prescribed limit of 50 mg/Nm3
- Control of fugitive dust emission.
To keep the dust emission levels within the stipulated
limit, adequate measures would be taken to reduce point
source emission. In order to control the fugitive dust
emission, key fugitive dust emission sources would be
identified and management measures would be implemented.
20. The Plant PM emissions would be within 50 mg/Nm3 for
total of 100 stacks with heights varying between 30 m to 145
m. The emissions of SOx and NOx have been targeted to be
contained within 350 mg/Nm3.
21. The target emission would be achieved by implementation of
adequate emission control measures in the existing
production units which would help in reducing the emission.
Some of the major operating units would be retrofitted with
additional pollution control equipment like bag filters and
upgraded ESP with additional fields so as to cut down the
emissions from the respective units.
22. In order to minimize effluent discharge from Steel Works, all
the waste water from various units would be treated in the
respective effluent treatment plants (ETP) and/or then
further treated in Central Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP)
for primary; secondary and tertiary treatment before
recycling and low end uses like dust suppression, slag
quenching, green belt development. With adoption of the
measures, effluent discharge would reduce to 3 MGD.

the ToR of EIA.
24. The study area falling under Survey of India (SOI) Toposheet
Nos. 73-J/1, J/2, J/5 and J/6 is a part of Chhota Nagpur
plateau. The study area in the district is plain land with
gently undulating topography. The Dalma hill range in the
north has got a peak elevation of 926 m above mean sea level
(AMSL). The steel plant and the town are located in the basin
area between Kharkai and Subarnarekha Rivers.
25. The Chhota Nagpur plateau of Jharkhand state represents a
part of Indian peninsular shield, which is a stable cratonic
block of the earths crust. As per IS: 1893 (Part I): 2002 of
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), the study area falls within
the seismic zone II (in a scale of Zone I to Zone V, where
Zone V is the highest risk prone area).
26. Geologically, Jamshedpur is located in the North Singhbhum
Mobile Belt, lying between Singhbhum Granite terrain in the
south and the Dalma volcanic belt in the north. The study
area constitutes the eastern segment of the Indian
Precambrian Shield, documenting the crustal evolutionary
history from Archean to mid-Proterozoic time (3.6-1.4Ga).
27. The rock formations in the study area muscovite quartz
schist inter layered with quartzite, hornblende schist and
thin amphibolite sill (designated as Chaibasa Formation).
The existent Dalma belt, displaying a synformal structure,
comprises of a sequence of sedimentary rocks (metapelites,
carbonaceous and ferruginous shale/phyllite, tuffs etc.) at
the bottom, followed upwards by high-Magnesium
volcaniclastics (vitric tuffs), volcanic agglomerate with
ultramafic intrusives (peridotite, pyroxenite) and finally
topped by tholeiitic basalt and basalt breccia.

28. A greater part of the East Singhbhum district is underlain
with Precambrian crystalline rocks. Less than 10 per cent is
covered with semi-consolidated rocks of Kolhan group and
the late tertiary grits, gravels and unconsolidated alluvium of
quaternary age along the lower reaches of the Subarnarekha
River. The weathered residues of the hard rocks as well as
fractures, joints, fissures and other zones of discontinuity
are the principal repositories of ground water in East
Singhbhum district.
29. Groundwater in the study area occurs within the weathered
zone (from top to 15 - 25 m) and in the fracture zones of the
hard rocks present at depth, restricted within 120 m below
ground level (bgl). CGWB data shows that the occurrence of
ground water is at 1.3 to 13.8 m bgl. It also reveals the
increasing trend of stage of development of ground water in
the study area. TSL would not use ground water at any stage
of this proposed expansion. Further, Rainwater harvesting
would recharge the ground water inside the Steel Works and
within the town.
30. The two perennial streams in the study area are the
Subarnarekha and Kharkai Rivers. The primary water source
for the industry and township in the study area is the
Subarnarekha River. However, the people living in the rural
regions of the buffer zone draw water from hand lift tube
wells and dug wells.
31. As per the recent satellite imageries, for the core zone, built-
up area constitutes about 92% of the total area, while
greenery & water bodies consist of balance 8% of the area.
The buffer zone primarily consists of Habitation & Built-up

including greenbelt development, eco-restoration, on-line
monitoring & environmental laboratory and energy
conservation.
60. It is presumed that the proposed project would be designed,
engineered and installed with the standard code of practices
of engineering, best practicable safety measures and
environmental safeguards.
61. In spite of adaptation of best engineering of the plant and
facilities, accidental events cannot be ruled out due to some
design deficiency or improper operation and maintenance or
malfunctioning of the various control systems installed. This
may affect life, property and environment.
62. Hazard potentials at this pre-engineering stage of the project
have been identified. Some of the potential hazards may arise
due to failure of effluent treatment plants, fuel gases storage
and handling systems, pollution control systems, electric
short circuits, unsafe storage and handling of oily wastes etc.
63. After design freeze or prior to commissioning, it is proposed to
have HAZOP study with consequences, particularly for
handling of fuel gases and combustible products, to take
further safeguards in the plant engineering and operation
manuals.
64. Safety during construction and operation would be of utmost
importance. The plant would have its own on-site & off-site
management plan to deal with various emergencies. Also,
various aspects of Disaster Management Plan (DMP) have
been discussed and it is suggested to get a DMP report
prepared that would help the plant personnel tackle
disastrous events.

65. TSL would undertake various initiatives under Corporate
Social Responsibility for this project site for uplifting the
socio-economic status of the local people by providing health
and education facilities, skill development, business
entrepreneurship development etc. The total budget allocated
towards Enterprise Social Commitment (ESC) is estimated at
Rs 50 crores for the proposed expansion project.
66. In order to have effective management of the overall
environmental performance of the plant including social
commitments, it is essential to have a comprehensive
environmental management plan (EMP). This plan includes a
proper organization structure, responsibilities, planning,
budgeting, training etc.
67. The operation of the plant would have to comply with the
environmental regulations, public liability, Government
Notifications etc as applicable from time to time for
industrial operation.
68. Without proper organizational set up, EMP cannot be
enforced. It is, thus, proposed to build a suitable
organizational structure having three functional wings,
namely, (i) Environment, (ii) Health and (iii) Safety, for
implementation of the mitigation measures and continuous
improvement on overall performance of the plant. The
organisation would be manned by experienced professionals
in the areas of environment, health and safety (EHS).
69. The functions of EHS cover monitoring, regulatory
compliance, remedial measures planning, budgeting,
implementation and occupational health care and safety.

70. Imparting Training, implementation of programme on
eco-restoration, Green House Gas (GHG) emission reduction
and Research and Development (R&D) for resource
conservation and wastes reduction would be an integral part
of the environmental management.
71. In consideration of the predicted environmental impacts,
mitigation measures, environmental risks and the
implementation of the proposed EMP of the project under
consideration to be sited at Jamshedpur, a matrix of net
environmental impacts is presented at the end. It may be
seen from the EIA matrix of the project that if the proposed
mitigation schemes with effective environmental management
on a continual basis are implemented, the prevailing
environment would not become alarmingly adverse; rather it
would usher in economic development of Jamshedpur region.
72. This augmentation projection has been exempted of Public
Hearing (PH) by MoEFCC. However, as directed by MOEFCC,
the compliance to the previous Public Hearing (PH), held on
18th June 2009 for the expansion from 6.8 to 9.7 MTPA has

1 - INTRODUCTION
Steel plays a vital role in the development of any modern and
emerging economy. The per capita consumption of steel is generally
accepted as a yardstick to measure the level of socio-economic
development and living standards of its countrymen. The Indian
Steel Sector enjoys advantages of domestic availability of raw
materials, i.e. iron ore, coal and cheap labour.
The Indian steel industry has entered into a new
development stage from 2004-05, riding high on the resurgent
economy and growing demand for steel. Rapid rise in production
has resulted in India becoming the 4th largest producer of crude
steel and the largest producer of sponge iron or DRI in the world.
In 2013-2014, the world crude steel production reached about
1,665 million tons (MT) and showed a growth of 1.2% over
2013 (Source: World Steel Association). China remained the worlds
largest crude steel producer in 2014 (about 822 MT) followed by
Japan (about 111 MT), the USA (about 88 MT) and India (about
83 MT) at the 4th position. Presently, steel contributes to nearly
two per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP) and employs over
500,000 people. The total market value of the Indian steel sector is
expected to touch US$ 95.3 billion by 2016.
Steel production in the country has increased at a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9 per cent over 2008-2012.
National Steel Policy 2005 had envisaged steel production to reach
110 million tons (MT) by 2019-20. However, based on the
assessment of the current ongoing projects, both in greenfield and
brownfield, the Working Group on Steel for the 12th Five Year Plan

has projected that domestic crude steel capacity in the county is
likely to be 140 MT by 2016-17 and has the potential to reach
149 MT if all requirements are adequately met.
However, in terms of per capita consumption of steel, which
gives an indication of the technological advancement of a nation,
India, with an average figure of 59 kg, lags way behind the world
average of 216 kg. In 2015 structural reforms and improving
confidence will support a further 6% growth in Indian steel demand
but elevated inflation and fiscal consolidation remain key downside
risks to the outlook. As per the report of the Working Group on
Steel for the 12th Five Year Plan, there exist many factors which
carry the potential of raising the per capita steel consumption in
the country. These include among others, an estimated
infrastructure investment of nearly a trillion dollars, a projected
growth of manufacturing from current 8% to 11-12%, increase in
urban population to 600 million by 2030 from the current level of
400 million, emergence of the rural market for steel currently
consuming around 10 kg per annum buoyed by projects like Bharat
Nirman, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, Rajiv Gandhi Awaas
Yojana among others.
The State of Jharkhand has an immense potential for
industrialization with its large deposits amounting to 40% total
minerals of the country. This State is the sole producer of coking
coal, uranium and pyrite. It ranks first in the production of coal,
mica, kyanite and copper in India. It has wide network of rivers,
power plant and industrial bases with about one-third as urban
population. It also houses several esteemed central and state
government institutes e.g. CCL, CMPDI, HEC, NIFFT, NIT, etc. With
its large deposits of minerals, Jharkhand is one of the front-
runners in attracting large number of investors.
