2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT AND PROPONENT

M/s Sharu Special Alloys Pvt. Ltd. is already manufacturing Steel Ingot & forged roll at

Village- Gobindgarh, adjoining Phase-VII, Focal Point Ludhiana, Punjab. They now

want to enhance the capacity of their unit by replacing the existing furnace of 6 TPH

with two no Induction furnaces of 20TPH capacities each and concast. They also propose

to add rolling mill for structural section i.e. Round, MS Bars, TMT Bars, wire rod &

Flats. The total project cost of the unit after expansion will be Rs 27.55 Crores. The

projects have already 4.5 acres land. No additional land is required for expansion. The

capacity of the unit after expansion will be 1, 72,800 TPA steel Billets/Ingots, 3300TPA

forged roll & 1, 50,000 TPA Round, TMT bars, wire rod, steel bars, channels and flats.

As per G.O.I Notification dated 14/09/2006 any change in product/expansion required

Environmental Clearance. Accordingly they have to submit Form No- I along with Pre-

Feasibility Report and other relevant documents for getting Environmental Clearance.

Further, the project site falls within the “critically polluted areas” Ludhiana as notified

by the Central Pollution Control Board, as such the project is to be treated as Category

‘A’ and thus the environmental clearance will be given by the Central Govt. MoEF&CC

New Delhi. This Prefeasibility report has, therefore, been prepared to assess the likely

impact of the proposed expansion on various factors which may be affected with the

implementation of the programme and to suggest remedial / precautionary measures, if

any.

I. Partner’s Background:

M/s Sharu Special Alloys (Pvt.) Ltd is a Private Limited Company. The Directors of

the company are as under:

1. Mr. Naresh Kumar Jain

2. Mr. Gaurav Jain



II. Brief description of nature of the project.

In view of the tremendous market potential of Iron & steel, promoters have decided to

expand the capacity of the existing Steel Plant by replacing the existing furnace 6 TPH

with two no Induction furnaces of 20TPH capacities each & concast. Addition in the

existing plant would improve the overall profitability of the project making it

financially more viable. The production details of unit existing & proposed are as

under:

III. Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region.

The economy of India is the seventh-largest economy in the world measured by

nominal GDP and the third-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). The country is

classified as a newly industrialized country, one of the G-20 major economies, a

member of BRICS and a developing economy with an average growth rate of

approximately 7% over the last two decades. This growth rate has a great impact on

domestic consumption of steel as well as export potential to other countries. As a result

of this, the demand for iron & steel remains extremely good, this would continue for

next 10 years if not less, since the per capita consumption of steel in India is still very

low compared to other developed countries. For rapid development of economy and

infrastructure of the country it is necessary to increase the production of steel within

the country.

National Steel Policy – 2005 has the long term goal of having a modern and efficient

steel industry of world standards in India. The focus is to achieve global

competitiveness not only in terms of cost, quality and product-mix but also in terms of



global benchmarks of efficiency and productivity. The Policy aims to achieve over 100

million Metric Tonnes of Steel per year by 2019-20 from the 2004-05 level of 38 mt.

This implies an annual growth of around 7.3% per year since 2004-05.

The above strategic goal is justified on the ground that steel consumption in the world,

around 1000 Million Metric tonnes in 2004, is expected to grow at 3.0 percent per

annum to reach 1,395 Million Metric Tonnes in 2015, compared to 2 percent per

annum in the past fifteen years. China will continue to have a dominant share of the

world steel demand. At home, the Indian growth rate of steel production over the past

fifteen years was 7.0 percent per annum. The projected growth rate of 7.3 percent per

annum in India compares well with the projected national income growth rate of 7-8

percent per annum, given an income elasticity of steel consumption of around 1.

IV. Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project.

Direct employment: - for expansion additional 400 Persons will be required. Total

Number of manpower after expansion will be 450 No’s.

V. Manufacturing Process details (a schematic diagram flow chart showing

the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given)

A coreless induction furnace operates on a similar principle to a transformer,

i.e., the induction coil acts as primary coil, having many turns, and the charge

acts as a secondary coil, with only as single turn. When an alternating current is

applied to the induction (primary) coil of a furnace, a significantly larger current

is induced in the metallic charge materials. The resistance to the passage of

induced current within the furnace charge causes the charge to heat up until it

eventually melts. Once the metal is molten, the magnetic field generated creates



a stirring action in the bath, producing both homogenization of the chemical

composition and assimilation of any bath additions. Electrical energy at 11 kV

(3-phase) is converted to 1250 V, through a transformer. It is further subjected

to a 3-phase rectifier and inverter system which converts the power to single

phase, high voltage-high frequency. The frequency converter amplifies the

frequency from 50 Hz to 500 Hz. This power is applied to furnace coil to

generate heat. The process flow chart of manufacturing process is given Figure

VII. Resource optimization/ recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if

any, should be briefly outlined.

Water:

As this project is based on Zero Discharge, 100 % recycling of water will be

done in the process.

Solid/ Hazardous waste:

The existing quantity of slag is 3TPD and is being used for filling of low lying

area. Total quantity of slag after expansion will be 12TPD and will be used in

filling of Low lying area and in Road Making.

Hazardous waste generated (0.03kl/annum) from DG sets in the form of used oil

is being re-used as lubricants within the industry and dust (0.45ton/annum)



recovered by bag filter is also covered under hazardous waste & sent to TSDF

site for final disposal.

VIII. Availability of water its source, Energy/power requirement and source

should be given.

Power requirement of existing & proposed along with source is given below:-

DESCRIPTION EXISTING PROPOSED TOTAL

Power Requirement 2495KW 18505KW 21000KW

Source Punjab State Power Corporation Limited, Punjab

IX. Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for

their Management/ disposal.

Liquid effluents- Proposed project is based on ZERO discharge. There are no

generation trade effluents from process. The waste water generated from

domestic & cooling tower is being treated through septic tank and use for

plantation within premises.

Solid Waste -

Slag is being used in filling of Low lying area and in road making. Used oil

from DG sets is used as lubricants & dust from APCD sent to TSDF site for

final disposal.

Flue Gas Management

There are no combustion related polluted gaseous emissions as no fuel is being

used in the process. The air pollution will be the result of the heating and



melting process in the induction furnace. The gaseous emissions coming out of

the mouth of the furnace crucible need treatment before discharging it into the

atmosphere.

The gaseous emissions will comprise of vapours/fumes, suspended particles, and

some gases. The vapours are, primarily, of metals (iron) and metal oxides (in

very low quantities). Dust and metal particles also contribute to the suspended

particulates. Gaseous pollutants are, mainly, carbon di-oxide, carbon mono-

oxide, and nitrogen oxides, though in very low amounts. The suspended

particulate matter (SPM) concentration will be about 1500-2000 mg/NM3. Most

of the particulates (about 75%) are expected to have size in the range of 1-5

microns. The emissions (after dilution) will have temperature of <150°C.

As per the applicable statutory norms, the SPM level in the gas emission, at

discharge point, shall not exceed 150 mg/NM3. Additionally, the stack height

requirement for discharge of process emissions is also to be complied with.

Also, ambient air quality within the premises should not have particulate matter

concentration exceeding 100μg/m3 on 24 hour basis, and 60μg/m3 averaged on

annual basis.

➢ There will be no danger of noise pollution from plant. The

green belt (plantation of dense trees across the boundary)

helps in reducing noise levels in steel plant as a result of

attenuation of noise generated due to plant operations and

transportation.

➢ Earmuffs will be used while running the equipments of the

plant.

➢ D.G sets will be provided with acoustic to control the noise

level within the prescribed limit.

➢ A high standard of maintenance will be practiced for plant

machinery and equipments, which helps to avert potential

noise problems.

➢ Personal Protective Equipment like earplugs and earmuffs

will be provided to the workers exposed to high noise level.

➢ Regular monitoring of noise level will be carried out.

Solid Waste Management

Management ➢ APCD dust is being sent to TSDF site and slag from process

is sent to low lying area for final disposal.

Green belt Management

Management

➢ Green belt development in and around the plant site helps to

attenuate the pollution level.

➢ Out of the total plant area approx. 5% land is already

developed as green belt and it will be maintained in future

also.

➢ Green belt has been developed as per Central Pollution



Control Board (CPCB) guidelines.

➢ Native species have been planted in consultation with the

local DFO.



7.0 PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE

I. Industrial Area (Processing Area):-

The site already having administrative and site control office with latest equipment like

computers, walkie-talkie & computerized weighbridge, printers, fax, Xerox machine,

etc. Sufficient power load exists to meet the current requirement. Water for

construction and domestic purpose as well industrial purposes will be drawn from bore-

well.

II. Residential Area (Non Processing Area):-

Labour hut / rest room, toilet, drinking water facility is already provided.

III. Green Belt.

The main objective of the green belt is to provide a barrier between the plant and

surroundings areas. Green belt will be developed according to CPCB guidelines.

IV. Social Infrastructure.

There is sufficient number of educational facilities but health facilities are not up to the

mark. The sports and recreational facilities are also not adequate as there is no national

or state level sports complex; however an indoor / outdoor stadium of lower hierarchy

is available within the town. One cinema and two clubs also exist in town.

V. Connectivity (Traffic and Rail/Metro/Water ways etc)

The regional road network comprises of Kharar-Ludhiana G.T. Road (NH-95) and

forms the major spine. In fact the entire road network gravitates along this major spine.

TREND ANALYSIS FROM EXISTING AMBIENT AIR QUALITY RESULTS:

Trend analysis is a form of comparative analysis that is often carried out to identify current

and future movement of pollution level. The process may involve comparing past and current

levels of pollution as they are related to various sites. This type of information is extremely

helpful to make decisions and future predictions.

In this report trend analysis of air pollution have been depicted. For this purpose the data of

Ambient Air from January, 2013 to October, 2017 has been taken into consideration. The

trends of individual pollutant in the city a whole has been carried out and trend analysis for

each pollutant at various sites for the above period has been analyzed. The trends analysis has

also been compared with the NAAQ standard for each individual pollutant to identify

whether the level of pollutants is below or above the NAAQ standard level.

Punjab Pollution Control Board is having four different Ambient Air Monitoring locations at

Ludhiana, but we have taken the results of nearby monitoring stations. Comparative Values

of RSPM, SO2 & NOx is provided in Table 1 and Trend Analysis of RSPM is provided in

Figure-1. SOx and NOx value is well within the limit.
