The Group’s expertise in efficient industrial processes generate value,protects the environment, shows respect for societies & cultures andis sparing in its use of natural resources and energy.
Lafarge India Ltd. was formed in the year 1999 and it startedoperation in India by acquiring Cement Division of Tata Steel withintegrated cement plant located at Sonadih, Dist.: Raipur, State:Chattisgarh & grinding unit at Jojobera, Dist.: Jamshedpur, State:Jharkhand. Subsequently, in the beginning of the year 2001 it alsoacquired Raymond Cement Plant situated in Dist.: Bilaspur State:Chattisgarh and this plant is now renamed as Arasmeta CementPlant. Lafarge India commissioned a green field project at Distt.Chhittorgarh in Rajasthan in 2013.
Lafarge India Ltd is operating 1.5 MTPA of Fly-Ash Cement grindingstation which is a State-of-the-art cement grinding unit based onlatest and most eco-friendly technology adjacent to Thermal PowerStation of Damodar Valley Corporation, Mejia, District Bankura WestBengal and is committed to grow with the environment. The unit isutilising bulk quantity of Fly –Ash generated by Mejia Thermal PowerStation (MTPS) of Damodar Valley Corporation in an eco-friendlymanner thus is instrumental in abating the Pollution in the region.
Sonadih Cement plant has been in existence since 1993 and wasacquired by LIL from Tata Iron And Steel Company (TISCO) on 1stNovember 1999. At present clinker production capacity is 3.5 MTPA.
At present 20% clinker produced is utilized at Sonadih Cement Plantfor manufacturing of Pozzolana Portland Cement while 80% clinker issent to Jojobera grinding unit of LIL located at Jamshedpur formanufacturing of Portland Slag Cement and Portland PozzolanaCement (PPC). Mejia Grinding Unit also receives clinker from SonadiPlant.

in the plant.
(ii) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT.
In the process of enhancement of cement capacity looking in to thedemand, LIL, has proposed expansion of the cement plant for increaseof clinker production capacity from 3.5 MTPA to 5.1 MTPA byinstalling one more process line of 1.6 MTPA clinker productioncapacity. Cement production after expansion of the cement plant willbe increased from 1.0 to 3.0 MTPA. To support the cement plant withuninterrupted power, it is proposed setup 90 MW Coal based powerplant within the existing cement plant complex.
(iii) NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THECOUNTRY AND OR REGION
It is expected that, the Cement demand will grow at much higher ratethan the national average. The bulk distribution of cement in theregion is likely to see a high growth due to a number of new Ready
Mix concrete plants and projects. Considering this, LIL proposes toincrease Cement production capacity
Opportunities for the Industry
Though India ranks second in the world in cement production, its percapita annual consumption is very low. Per capita consumption inIndia has grown from a low level of 70 Kg to around 110 kg over thelast 8 years, which is still way behind the world per capitaconsumption of 307 Kg (as of 2003). Cement Industry has growthpotential not only within the country but also for exports to theneighbouring countries. With Indian growth rate rising, theopportunities for the industry seem to be large.
Cement consumption in the coming years is likely to get a fillip fromGovernment initiatives for housing and infrastructure:
• State highway development projects being undertaken by somestates
• 10,000 kms of additional highways (25% concrete)• Rural roads construction• Housing finance growing by over 25-30% annually• IT parks and SEZ zones development in proximity to metros
(iv) DEMAND- SUPPLY GAP.
Market demand and projections
Cement growth is expected to be above the GDP growth of thecountry, which is expected to be around 8% for the coming years. TheIndian cement Industry is poised for a period of significant growth andthe demand for cement is expected to match the current availabilityby the end of the current fiscal. Cement demand has registered aCAGR of about 8.5% over the last decade. In fact, at the current levelsof growth, the cement industry may have to add over 90 Million Tonsof cement capacity to meet the demand for cement over the next 5years.
Cement companies were operating at levels below capacity in the pastbut with the demand and supply reaching equilibrium, almost allplants are working at above 90% capacity. The rate of growth in
cement demand is growing at a faster pace as compared to thecapacity expansion. This will improve the realizations of the industryin the coming year.
(V) IMPORTS VS. INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION.
India is self sufficient to meet the demands of the market with theGDP projected at 10 % in the coming decades and in view of theinfrastructure. Facilities going across the region the growth rate ofdemand will increase to meet the expansion of new proposal aremuted.
(VI) EXPORT POSSIBILITY
No export is proposed
(VII) DOMESTIC/EXPORT MARKETS.
The entire production is envisaged for the domestic market.
(VIII) EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT AND INDIRECT) DUE TOTHE PROJECT
Additional employment of about 50 is proposed.

A 90 MW Coal based power plant also will be installed.
(V) PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESS DETAILS (A SCHEMATICDIAGRAM/FLOW CHART SHOWING THE PROJECT LAYOUT,COMPONENTS OF THE PROJECT ETC. SHOULD BE GIVEN.PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND PROCESS DETAILS:
CEMENT PLANT
The process largely comprises of
A. Crushing the limestoneB. Raw Mix preparationC. Raw mix homogenizationD. Coal preparationE. Calcination and Clinkerisation
Description of each of the above operation is detailed below :
Limestone raised from the Mines is crushed and stacked before beingreclaimed by reclaimer. The reclaimer discharges the blendedlimestone to a hopper. There are two more hoppers for sand and ironore. The Sand and iron ore are transported to their hoppers through abelt conveyor system from the stockyard.
Raw materials are extracted from the respective hoppers with the helpof speed controlled weigh feeders to maintain the requiredcomposition of the raw meal. The weigh feeders discharge on acommon belt which feeds to the vertical mill where it is ground andthus raw meal is produced. Fineness of the raw meal is maintained byregulating the speed of separator, which is mounted on the top ofvertical mill. The raw meal produced is stored in the blending silowhere the same gets blended as a result of feeding and extractionoperation. The raw meal is extracted in the regulated manner and fedto suspension preheater and precalciner through pneumatic transportsystem, where raw meal is preheated and calcined to around 90%before it enters the kiln. Calcined raw meal is clinkerised at around1450oC in the kiln and stored in clinker silo. Required thermal energyis provided by firing pulverized coal, which is obtained from thevertical coal mill, after crushing it in coal crusher and pre blending itin coal blending system.
THE PROJECT:
MINING OF LIMESTONE: Limestone will be raised from the newmine (i.e ML-I Limestone Mine) located at a distance of 5 km awayfrom plant, involving advanced opencast mining technology. Drillingwill accomplished by ECM-645 Top hammer drill machine capable ofdrilling blast hole of 102/112 mm dia. Scientific and Eco-friendlyblasting is done by ANFO, Slurry and Emulsion explosives with DownThe Hole shock tube Delay Detonators of EXEL-200 & 250 milliseconds, Noiseless trunk line detonators (NTD) of 17ms and 42msconnectors and Cord relays so as to have negligible impact on thenearby dwellings.
Heavy earth moving equipments such as dozer, shovel, front endloader & bucket excavator will be made use for loading the dumpers.The dumpers haul the boulders to Limestone crusher hopper.
CRUSHING : Crusher reduces the size of limestone from 1.7 Cu. M to(-) 80 mm size. A new crusher of 800 TPH will be installed at mine.Limestone from the mine will be conveyed through closed conveyor.
STACKER & RECLAIMER
The existing stacker will be extended to build new piles for the newline and one Bridge Reclaimer of 400 TPH will be added to reclaim thematerial. Stacker & Reclaimer will help to improve the pre-blending inthe ratio 1:10.
RAW MILL
Iron ore, sand, ARM will be transported through conveyor belts andstored in different hoppers. The material composition shall bemaintained with the help of weigh feeders as per the raw mix design.Vertical roller mill comminutes the raw-mix to a fineness of 15%residue on 90 microns sieve and 2-3% residue on 212 microns sieve.Raw meal shall be conveyed to blending silo. The capacity of the rawmill in the new line i.e Unit – III is 400 tph.
CONTINUOUS BLENDING SILO
LIL proposes to provide a blending silo of 15000 t capacity isequivalent to the requirement of 2.5 kiln days or approx. 1.0 daysactive storage. Along with the basic function of storage, the blendingof raw meal takes place for homogenization for minimizing thevariation in quality. The kiln feed, which shall be extracted from Siloand made to reach a point of preheating initiation by pre-heater ofBelt bucket elevator.
PRE HEATER, KILN, COOLER
For the proposed clinkerisation capacity of 4800 tpd, a rotary kiln inconjunction with a six stage single string pre heater – pre claciner andgrate cooler is envisaged. A Bag house will be installed for dedustingof raw mill/kiln system. Water spray in preheater downcomer ductwill be installed to reduce the temperature of gases during the directoperation.
Fine coal will be used in the Kiln for calcination. With the unique andtypical formation of different temperature zones in the Rotary Kiln, theraw meal undergoes various physicochemical reactions reaching astage of sintering. Burning zone promotes the sintering leading toformation of clinker ultimately. Clinker at temperature of 1200-1250C. passes through Grate Cooler provided with Fans. Quenching of airthrough Clinker bed in the Cooler results in cooling of Clinker till 100C. Deep Pan Conveyor to Clinker Storage Silo shall mechanicallyconvey it.
COAL MILL
The main fuel for the generation of heat and burning operation isCoal. Raw coal from yard shall be crushed to less than 30 mm size.It shall be conveyed through Belt Conveyors to raw coal hoppers andthen allowed the same for grinding in Coal Mill to a fineness of 15%residue on 90 Microns sieve and 2% residue on 212 Microns sieve.The fine Coal ground by Coal Mill shall be conveyed to fine coal bin.
The fine Coal shall be fired in to Kiln as well as Precalciner as per therequirement on the weighing basis on Poldos-SC and pneumaticallyconveyed to Kiln and Precalciner. LIL will install a coal mill of 36 tphcapacity under Unit – III. The total coal consumption in the Kiln isestimated to be about 1500 tpd.
COAL HANDLING
A new coal crusher of 120 tph capacity is proposed. A new linear coalpre blending stock pile of 4 X 2000 tonnes is considered with astacker and side reclaimer.
CEMENT MILL
Two Cement Mills each of 210 TPH will be installed for producing thecement.
CAPTIVE POWER PLANT:
The proposed Coal based power generation capacity of LIL is 90 MW.The coal required is received from South Eastern Coal fields. It is aircooled condensate plant and the water requirement for the same is
about 750 m3/day. 360 TPH Steam generator, with 90 MW Turbinewill be provided.
