2.0 Introduction/Brief Project Description

The objective of this pre feasibility study is to provide information for the Bulk Drugs and

Intermediates manufacturing unit by M/s. Vadivarhe Speciality Chemicals Ltd. Gut No. – 204,

Nashik – Mumbai highway, A/p – Vadivarhe, Tal. – Igatpuri, Dist. – Nashik – 422 403 (Maharashtra).

M/s Vadivarhe Speciality Chemicals Ltd. is a reputed name in the Bulk Drugs & Drugs

Intermediates manufacturing. It is a limited organization engaged in manufacturing Bulk Drugs &

Drugs Intermediates manufacturing products.

The M/s. Vadivarhe Speciality Chemicals Ltd. has been incorporated with main object to

manufacture Bulk Drugs & Intermediates which have a good export potential. The ever-

increasing demand for the products in India & Abroad has prompted the promoters to undertake

manufacturing of some selected Bulk Drugs & Intermediates. As per the provision of “EIA

Notification No.S.O.1533 (E)” dated 14.09.2006 as amended on December 01, 2009, the project

comes under “Category 5 (f) A”

2.1 Project Proponent :

M/s. Vadivarhe Speciality Chemical Ltd. is incorporated in the year 2007 to manufacture Bulk

Drug & Intermediates Mr. Vasant Jagtap is the Director of this Company Having experience in

Bulk Drug manufacturing & R&D for more than 20 years.

2.2 Brief Description of Nature of the Project

The project is going to manufacture synthetic organic chemicals (Bulk Drug) in total capacity of

34.868-MT/M. The pharmaceutical industry includes the manufacture, extraction, processing,

purification & packing of chemical materials to be used as medicines. Pharmaceutical

manufacturing is divided into two major stages the production of active ingredient or drug

(Primary processing or manufacturing & Secondary processing) the conversion of the active

drugs into products suitable for administration.

2.3 Need for the Project & its Importance to the Country & or Region

Mumbai & Surrounding area has emerged as major drug manufacture city with a presence in

global market. Pharma industry in the state contribute more than one third to the country total

production.

Most of the companies have set up their R&D facilities in the state, thus making the state the

pharmaceutical capital of the country.

Mumbai & Surrounding has developed as major production center for bulk drugs due to the

location if the many major pharmaceutical industries such as Lupin ltd, Matrix Labs, Cipla,

Ranbaxy etc. besides a large no. of medium & small industries manufacturing Bulk Drugs of all

kinds.

The Indian Pharmaceutical Industry today is in the front rank of India’s science based industry with

wide ranging capabilities in the complex field of drug manufacture & technology.



5

Bulk drugs have become a part of our life for sustaining many of our day-to-day activities,

preventing & controlling diseases. Bulk drug manufacturing sector in India is well established &

has recorded a steady growth in the overall Indian industrial scenario. The bulk drug & allied

industries have been amongst the fastest growing segments of the Indian Industry.

India’s pharmaceutical industry is the third largest in the world in terms of volume. Its rank is 14th

in terms of value. India is also one of the top five active pharmaceutical ingredients (API)

producers (with a share of about 6.5%)

The ever-increasing demand for bulk drug & intermediate in India & abroad as well as

changing market condition for manufacture & sale of products has prompted the promoters

to go for manufacturing of Bulk Drug (API) & Intermediates as well as chemicals.

2.4 Demands-Supply Gap

As per IMS Retail Drug Monitor, sales through pharmacies in thirteen leading markets for the year

to August 2003 are $ 298.7 Billion. According to the IMS World Review, in 2004 global audited sales

of pharmaceuticals rose 8% (at constant dollar rate) to reach US $ 400.6 Billion. IMS world Review

tracks actual sales of approximately 90% of all prescription drugs & certain over-the-counter

(OTC) products in more than 70 countries. Using proprietor data projection methodologies to

estimate total global pharmaceutical sales, which grew to US $ 430.3 Billion in 2005. Despite

economic challenges in the world’s leading markets & a lower than normal number of new

products introduction, the global pharmaceutical industry experienced good growth in 2005.

During 2005-06, the state produced bulk drug & formulations worth US $ 2.5 billion. The exports

from the state stood at US $ 1.0 billion in 2004-05 registering an annual growth of more than 20%

the sector accounts for about 20% of the total exports from state

Imports Vs Indigenous Production

The products including third generation antibiotics are high in demand in the export market. Also

their demand is increasing in the domestic market. Production of these drugs domestically

reduces the need to import these in future along with significant scope for export in these

products.

Domestic/ Export Markets

In the initial phase the products shall comprise of mainly intermediates which shall be supplied to

domestic API firms. Subsequently when the blocks for APIs will be erected, the APIs will be

supplied to both domestic as well as export market

2.5 Employment Generation (Direct & Indirect) Due to the Project

The activities under industry would produce improvement in the socio-economic status of people

in the study area in terms of local labor employment & contract basis jobs. The proposed activity



6

might provide employment opportunities to the local populace, especially in business & other

services like transportation activity.

It is expected to direct or indirect employ about 50-60 people of various skills will be required

during construction as well as operation phase.

I. Equalization Cum Neutralization Tank: Two No.(One Stand by )

The effluent is collected & equalized here to equalize the whole mass of the effluent to the

average concentration .All the floating material also being separated here by Course screen

& Fine screen. The online screens installed for the same. As the most efficient digestion occurs

at neutral pH,it is necessary to neutralize the incoming waste to a pH of 7.

II. Primary Clarifier Tank with Flash Mixing Tank: One no.

After Neutralization, the effluent is pumped to Flash Mixer Tank. The Alum & Poly Electrolyte

dosing is added for the Sedimentation & coagulation.

After Equalization & Neutralization, the industrial waste water enters the Primary Clarifier Tank

through Flash Mixer. To avoid the Turbulence created due to the Pressure Pumping Flash

Mixing Tank provided

Here the Suspended Particles heavier than water settles down at the bottom. The Settled Solid

is Separated as Sludge & dewatered to Sludge drying Bed. After sludge drying, the sludge is

sent to CHWSTDF.

III. Anaerobic Digester:

After Primary Clarification,the Effluent enters to Anaerobic Digester. Here the effluent is treated

with anaerobic culture.

IV. Bioreactor Tank /Aeration Tank: 1 No

After Anaerobic digester, the effluent enters to the Aeration Tank. Here the activated sludge

process achieved, to reduce the Organic load to the desired standards by providing a

sufficient detention time & activating the Bacterial culture.

For Oxygenation (aeration) of waste water these tanks provided with fixed Air Blowers. These

Air Blowers are capable of providing sufficient amount of Dissolved Oxygen (D.O.) required

by the micro organisms for synthesis or degradation of organic matter.

V. Secondary Settling Tank:

For the settlement of the mixed liquor, the waste led to a Secondary Clarifier tank. Waste led

to the tank through a pipe to centre feed well from where it flow downwards and then

outwards launder. The settled mixed liquor returned back to aeration tank to improve mixed

liquor in the tank and the excess mixed liquor drained to the existing sludge drying beds

VI. Clarified Water Tank:

The Clear effluent from Secondary Clarifier Tank is collected here .The polishing aeration with

Chlorination treatment is operated here.

From this Tank the Effluent after chlorination pumped to the Sand & Activated Carbon Filter.

VII. Pressure Sand & Activated Carbon Filter:

The Clarified supernant effluent is then passed through the Sand & Carbon filter for Final

Purification. To remove the suspended solids from Sand & Carbon Filter, back wash operation

to be carried out. The effluent is then transferred to Treated Water Tank

VIII. Treated Water Tank:

Such Treated Clear Effluent is then recycled /reused in the Process to the maximum extent for

cooling Tower and /or For Floor Wash and excess if any shall be discharged to Gardening

IX. Sludge Drying Beds:

The Waste sludge is drained to Sludge Drying Bed and after drying sent to CHWSTDF

3.5.2 Solid waste generation & disposal
