2.2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT

The Nimbahera Cement Plant was commissioned in 1974 with a single kiln with capacity of

900 TPD. Subsequently, in 1979 the capacity of the plant was increased to 2100 TPD with

the addition of a second kiln of 1200 TPD. In 1982, a third kiln of 1350 TPD capacity and

subsequently after modification and modernization, the present capacity of the Nimbahera

plant for producing 2.80 MMTPA of Clinker, limestone requirement is around 4.2 MMTPA.

The Mangrol Cement plant Line no. 1 was commissioned in 2001 and Line no. 2 in 2014, the

clinker production capacity of Line no. 1 & Line no. 2 is 0.75 MMTPA & 2.15 MMTPA

respectively. Therefore, the limestone requirement of Line 1 and Line 2 of Mangrol plant is

4.06 MMTPA.

The company is proposed to increase the clinker capacity of Mangrol plant with installation

of new kiln with a capacity of 2.75 MMTPA. After expansion, total clinker capacity of

Nimbahera and Mangrol plant will be 8.45 MMTPA.

The total limestone production requirement for Nimbahera and Mangrol plant will be 12.63

MMTPA. To fulfill the requirement, company has decided to increase the capacity of

Mangrol-Tilakhera Limestone Mine from 1.60 MMTPA to 2.40 MMTPA & Karunda limestone

mine from 2.0 MMTPA to 3.6 MMTPA. There is no change in lease area. Expansion in

production is envisaged through deploying efficient and high yield production machineries,

increased drilling and blasting.

2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND OR

REGION

India is the second largest producer of cement in the world. India's cement industry is a

vital part of its economy, providing employment to more than a million people, directly or

indirectly.

Cement is a cyclical commodity with a high correlation with GDP. The housing sector is the

biggest demand driver of cement, accounting for about 67% of the total consumption. The

other major consumers of cement include infrastructure (13%), commercial construction

(11%) and industrial construction (9%).Cement production increased at a compound





MARCH’ 2018 38

annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7% to 272 Million Tonnes (MT) over FY06-13. The domestic

cement consumption is expected to increase as India has a lot of potential for development

in the infrastructure and construction sector and the cement sector is expected to largely

benefit from it.

Limestone is the main component for cement manufacturing. About 2.4 Million TPA of

limestone will be mined from the existing ML.

With the proposed development in & around the area, there will be supporting

facilities/infrastructure eventually leading to the development of the area. The mining and

associated activities in the mineral bearing areas will bring about gains in gross domestic

product, i.e. there is though a minor contribution by the proposed expansion project but will

add to the gains in the G.D.P. The mine shall be contributing every year to the State &

Central Govt. exchequer by way of mining revenue (Royalty, Premium, DMF& NMET)after

the expansion project.

A total of 77 persons will be employed in this mine after expansion. Beside it, company will

also provide employment opportunities &various means as source for population of the

village. It will also bridge the gap between demand and supply of cement to the consumers.

The project will help in the overall growth of the region.

Past Cement Consumption in Rajasthan

The past cement consumption in Rajasthan grew at an average of ~ 10.1% pa in the last 5

years and at ~8.4% p.a. in past 10 years.

The company is intends to increase the production capacity of limestone from 1.60 MMTPA

to 2.40 MMTPA. This requires more reserves/ production to sustain the plant for a longer

period as well as to support other mining leases.

2.4 DEMAND - SUPPLY GAP

In India limestone has a wide

application and demand

The production of limestone in the

country for 2014-15 at 292.8 million

tonnes increased by about 4% as

compared to that of the previous

year owing to high demand in the

market. There were 740 reporting

mines in 2014-15 as against 779

during the previous year. Twenty five mines, each producing more than 3 million tonnes per

annum contributed about 41% of the total production of limestone in 2014-15. The share of





MARCH’ 2018 39

13 mines, each in the production range of 2 to 3 million tonnes was about 11% of the total

production. About23% of the total production was contributed by 46 mines, each producing

1 to 2 million tonnes, annually. The remaining 25% of the total production was reported by

656 mines and four associated mines during the year. Twenty five principal producers

contributed about 79% of the total production. About 4% of the production was reported by

public sector mines as against 4.1% in the previous year. About 97% of the total production

of limestone during 2014-15 was of cement grade, 2% of iron & steel grade and the rest

1%consisted of chemical grade. (Ref.: Indian Minerals Yearbook, 2015 (Part- III: Mineral Reviews),

54th Edition, Limestone & Other Calcareous Minerals, IBM: March, 2017).

Major producing areas/ Supply

Rajasthan was the leading producing state accounting for (21%) of the total production of

limestone, followed by Madhya Pradesh (13%), Andhra Pradesh (12%), Gujarat

(9%),Karnataka, Telangana, Chhattisgarh and Tamil Nadu (8% each ), Himachal Pradesh

and Maharashtra (4% each) and the remaining 5% was contributed by Meghalaya, Odisha,

Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Assam, Kerala, Bihar, and Jammu & Kashmir. Mine-head closing

stock of limestone for the year 2014-15 was 13.3 million tonnes as against 12.4 million

tonnes for the previous year. Average daily labour employment in limestone mines in 2014-

15 was 21,655 as against 22,977 in the previous year. Source: Indian Minerals Yearbook, 2015

(Part- III: Mineral Reviews), 54thEdition, Limestone & Other Calcareous Minerals, IBM: March, 2017.

There is a large gap between the demand of limestone and the supply of Limestone. The

proposed project aims to fill the demand – supply gap through optimum allocation and

excavation of natural resources required to meet the demand effectively.

Future Cement Demand in Rajasthan

The likely demand-supply gap has been calculated based on the estimated future most likely

demand as well as the expected growth of cements capacity in the state of Rajasthan. Future

supply has been estimated based on the assumption that in the year of commissioning a

plant is capable of supplying only 50% of its installed capacity and it starts supplying 100%

from the next year onwards. The demand supply gap is given in the table below:-

Table 2: Future Demand

Source:- Holtec Analysis





MARCH’ 2018 40

Rajasthan is a surplus state and is likely to remain so in future. The state is expected to

supply its surplus cement to the neighboring states of Haryana, Delhi, Punjab and West

Uttar Pradesh, which are cement deficit.

2.5 IMPORTS VS. INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION

The existing project will cater the requirement of limestone to cement plant. The limestone

raised from the mine shall be primarily for manufacture of cement.

2.6 EXPORT POSSIBILITY

No exports of limestone are proposed.

2.7 DOMESTIC/ EXPORT MARKETS

There has always been a huge demand of limestone in both domestic and foreign markets. It

is normally demanded for construction, cement, glass, sugar, etc. industries. Due to high cost

of transportation, it is normally exported in finished form of slabs, tiles, lime, cement, etc.

However, the proposed mining activity is not envisaging any exports.

2.8 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT AND INDIRECT) DUE TO THE PROJECT

The proposed expansion project generates employment for around 77 people. Following

staff & workers are proposed to be employed:-

3.4.3 HYDROGEOLOGY

Project area is categorized as notified (over-exploited category) zone as per the guidelines/

criteria for evaluation of proposals/ requests for ground water abstraction with effect from

15.11.2012 by CGWA.

Common NOC for ground water abstraction has been obtained for cement plant & mines

from CGWA vide letter no. 21-4(34)/WR/CGWA/2005-1675 dated 28.10.2015 and applied

for renewal vide letter no MGR/PC/23/2562 on date 16.10.2017.

The water table in pre-monsoon is 370MSL and post – monsoon is 390 MSL. The working

depth in first year will be 390 MSL and ultimate pit limit will be 374 MSL. Hence, water

table will not be encountered during the lease period.

Major water bearing formations in the district are Limestone, Gneiss, Basalt, Schist/ phyllite

& Shale and project area falls in limestone formation. Groundwater occurs under

unconfined condition in saturated zone of rock formation. Its occurrence is controlled by

topography, physiography and structural features of the geological formations. The

movement of the groundwater in hard rock areas is governed by size, openness,

interconnection and continuity of structural weak planes while in unconsolidated rocks,

ground water movement takes place through pore space between grains.

However, in order to compensate the loss of vegetation cover, it is suggested to carry out

extensive afforestation program mainly in and around the mine lease area. Appropriate

plant species of different life forms have been suggested in the following table to grow and

to re-establish the vegetation cover and thereby provide habitat for the faunal species. The

list of plant species suggested includes the following criteria:-

� Tree species which are well adapted to local environmental setting, tall, bearing

larger canopy cover and leaf area.

� Tree species of different size classes (small, medium and larger) were suggested to

maintain the different canopy levels at vertical profile.

� Fruit trees in the selection list would help to attract birds and fruit eating bats which

are locally available.

� Wild species were suggested to provide habitat for faunal species, increase the faunal

species diversity and maintain the naturalness.

5.4 ASSESSMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE DEMAND (PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL)

THE AREA

The core benefit of the expansion project is the availability of Limestone in cement

industries. Economic development of the region depends largely upon the nature of

activities undertaken in the surrounding region. The beneficial aspects of the projects on

the socio-economic environment of the area are in the areas of employment, service, trade,

commerce, public utility, literacy, social awareness, health care facilities, recreation etc. The

underlying benefits through the proposed project are:-

Table 28: Financial & Social Benefits

S. No. Activities

1. Employment:

Expansion project will create direct & indirect employment opportunities which shall be extended

to the local people of the area. Employment envisaged from the proposed project is about 77

persons.

Direct employment: 77 Approx.

There would be many indirect employment opportunities from the expansion project as well as

associated cement plants of its subsidiary company, in the form of contractual jobs/works, service

facilities, horticulture, housekeeping, building maintenance, rental vehicles and utility stores etc.

Moreover, employment opportunities shall also be created due to opening of sale depots,

transport of raw materials etc.

2. Social activities:

J K Cement Works will contribute substantially to the overall economy and social development of

the area. The existing mine after expansion programme shall be contributing every year to the

State and Central Govt. exchequer by way of mining revenue (Royalty, Premium, DMF& NMET)

after the expansion project. With the proposed development in and around the area, there will be

supporting facilities/infrastructure eventually leading to the development of the area. An amount

of 30% of Royalty shall be paid as “District Mineral Fund” which shall be spent for the betterment

of the local community. The Socio-Economic status of the area will improve with the

implementation of various development programs under Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan

Yojana (PMKKKY) for welfare of the areas and people affected by mining related operations,

using the funds generated by District Mineral Foundations (DMFs).

Based on the Need based Assessment, community development program shall be taken up for the

betterment of the locals.

However, in last few years, Company has undertaken various development activities under

CSR/ESC for social benefits of the locals such as construction of village roads, Financial aid

for tube well drilling and submersible pump, construction of classrooms and boundary wall

of village school, construction of toilets, organization of free medical camps, distribution of

free medicines, construction of community centre, distribution of sports material etc.

10.0 CONCLUSION

It is predicted that socio-economic impact due to this project will positively increase the

chance of more employment opportunities for local inhabitants. There are no Resettlement

and Rehabilitation issues involved in this project. The project infrastructures will be of use

to people of the area. The revenue of the State Govt. will be definitely increasing due to the

proposed activity. The entire project area is devoid of any endangered flora and fauna. At

the end of life of the mine, it is proposed to convert mined out pit into water reservoir and

develop green belt around the mined out pit. Thus, the proposed project is not likely to

affect the environment or adjacent ecosystem adversely.
