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 the eighth-largest

cement producer in the world. Global in vision, rooted in Indian values, the Group is driven by a

performance ethic pegged on value creation for its multiple stakeholders. A US $41 billion (Rs. 2,

50,000 Crores) corporation, the Aditya Birla Group is in the League of Fortune 500. Anchored by





an extraordinary force of over 120,000 employees, belonging to 42 nationalities. Over 50 per cent

of its revenues flow from its overseas operations spanning 36 countries.

The company has an installed capacity of 69.3 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) of Grey Cement.

UltraTech Cement has 12 Integrated Plants, 1 Clinkerisation Unit, 19 Grinding Units, 7 Bulk

Terminals, 1 White Cement Plant, 2 Wall Care Putty Plants and more than 100 RMC plants –

spanning India, UAE, Bahrain, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. UltraTech Cement is also India's largest

exporter of cement and clinker reaching out to meet demand in countries around the Indian

Ocean, Africa, Europe and the Middle East.

In the white cement segment, UltraTech goes to market under the brand name of Birla 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 Mix Concrete (RMC) plants in 35 cities, UltraTech is the largest manufacturer of

concrete in India. It also has a slew of specialty concretes that meet specific needs of

discerning customers.

(ii) Brief description of nature of the project




Environmental Clearance the for existing capacity has been obtained from Department of

Environment, Government of West Bengal, Kolkata, vide letter no. EN/2404/T-II-I/032/2011 dated

29th September, 2011.




Grinder.

Screening Category: As per EIA Notification dated 14th Sept., 2006 & its subsequent amendments;

this project falls under Category “B”, Project or Activity ‘3 (b)’ but in the absence of a duly

constituted SEIAA or SEAC, a Category ‘B’ project shall be treated as a Category ‘A’ project”; and

due to absence of SEIAA or SEAC at West Bengal, this project shall be considered at central level).

(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region

Indian cement industry is large, growing and with consumption of 185kg/capita/yr in 2011

(compared to global average of ~300 kg/capita/yr) the country itself has the capacity to demand

significantly more cement 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 currently growing at an enviable pace and

further growth in the Indian cement industry is expected in the coming years. Therefore, there is

an urgent need to increase the production capacity in the country.





The location of the grinding units is governed by market demand of various types of cements in

the area and availability from local clinker production or from surplus neighbouring states. It is

amply clear from above that there exists an imbalance between availability and demand.

Therefore, to bridge the gap, the company has decided to enhance the existing production

project to cater the increasing demand of Cement in the country and Eastern region. Therefore,

enhancing cement production by Dankuni Cement Works is important in catering the rise in

demand of cement to the country and nearby region.

(iv) Demand- Supply Gap

India's cement demand is expected to reach 550-600 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) by 2025.

Demand - Supply projection for cement on National and State basis reveals that there exists an

imbalance between availability and demand of cement particularly in western region. Under these

circumstances to bridge the gap, UTCL has proposed for enhancement in cement production

capacity in the existing Stand alone Grinding Unit of M/s Dankuni Cement Works.

(v) Imports vs. Indigenous Production

Imports are not feasible. Cement produced in the state will be consumed domestically.

(vi) Export Possibility

Cement produced in the state will be procured domestically. No cement export is envisaged.

(vii) Domestic / Export Markets

The proposed cement production will cater to the cement demands in the state of West Bengal,

Odisha, Jharkhand, and Bihar.

(viii) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project

Since, there is a minor enhancement in cement production capacity; the total manpower

requirement after the proposed enhancement project will remain same.
