1 PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT Shri Dudhganga Vedganga Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Limited, (SDVSSKL) located at Bidri (Mouninagar), Tal.: Kagal, Dist.: Kolhapur, Maharashtra State was registered vide Registration : G-279 dated The SDVSSKL have planned to go for expansion of Sugar Factory from 5000 TCD to TCD (expansion by 5000 TCD), & establishment of 75 KLPD Molasses based Distillery in its existing premises of its sugar factory (500TCD) and Co-gen plant (20 MW). As per the provision of EIA Notification S. O (E) dated ; and amendments thereto; the proposed projects comes under Category A for Item Nos. 5(j) and 5 (g). Sugar cane will be available with 10 to 15 Km radius area. Promoters of SDVSSKL are well experienced in relevant fields and have made a thorough study of the overall project planning and implementation with prime objective towards development of the area and its economy. Molasses is a very important by-product of the sugar industry. Profits earned by conversion of molasses into alcohol are much higher than that of resale of molasses alone. Moreover, there is a good demand for alcohol in the country as production and consumption of alcohol in India are quite balanced. Also, there is a good export potential, out of the country, for the alcohol. 1.1 Need of the Project The sugar industry in India is well maintained and growing at a steady pace, boasting of a consumer base of over billions of people. India is the second largest producer of sugar in the world. With more than 45 millions of sugarcane growers in the country, the bulk of rural population in India depends on this industry. One of the agro-based enterprises in India, sugar manufacturing is the second largest agricultural industry, after the textile sector. Sugar manufacturing in Maharashtra is one of the most notable sectors in the country. The pace of growth of this industry has been massive over the past few years. Most of the sugar units have by-product utilization plants, based on bagasse and molasses. Ethanol, power and paper projects have tremendous scope for development in India. In near future, about 10-15% ethanol may be allowed to be blended with petrol. Thus, alcohol production from molasses has the most promising prospects. Bagasse based power generation projects, installed in the premises of sugar factory, not only fulfill captive need of the industry but also make available surplus power which could be exported in the grid thereby providing value addition. Distillery business is gaining more importance with regards to production, usage, easy availability of raw material (grains as maize, sugarcane molasses). With the increase in business it has a considerable share in national income. Alcohol industry is the second largest source of revenue of the state. The industry is probably only one in which the inputs are decontrolled, but selling prices are determined by local state levies and excise duties. 1.2 Employment Generation Potential Main Products of economically importance & Secondary Products for value addition are manufactured that include; Sugar, Molasses, Bagasse, Alcohol, Power etc. The economy & 1

2 developments as a result of projects such as sugar factory, distillery, power, etc. The activities in proposed expansion industry would improve the socio-economic status of people in the study area in terms of local labor employment and contract basis jobs. The proposed and expansion activity might provide opportunities to the local populace, especially in business and other services. The improved employment potential & development of infrastructure are direct benefits resulting out of the projects. 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 Location Shri Dudhganga Vedganga Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Ltd. is located at Bidri (Mouninagar), Tal.: Kagal, Dist.: Kolhapur, Maharashtra State. Project Co-ordinates of 4 corner of plot are as follows, i. Latitude '24.09"N Longitude '59.96"E ii. Latitude '53.29"N Longitude '59.08"E iii. Latitude '30.52"N Longitude '58.95"E iv. Latitude '30.67"N Longitude '59.77"E 2.2 Site Selection The expansion of Sugar factory and establishment of Distillery would be implemented in the existing factory premises of SDVSSKL. The favorable aspects of proposed project are- 1. Availability of excess cane for crushing in sugar factory from the operational area. 2. Availability of adequate quantity of water and electricity for the proposed project. 3. The nearest city is Kagal 25 km away from the project site which is very well connected with other parts of the country by roads. 4. No rehabilitation and resettlement shall be required. 2.3 Alternative Site Proposed expansion of sugar factory as well as establishment of distillery would be implemented in the existing factory premises; hence no any alternative sites were examined. 2.4 The Products & Raw Materials Different products to be manufactured under existing & expansion activity and their maximum production quantities are as under- Table 1 List of Product Sr. Quantity Name of Product Existing After Expansion 1.

Sugar & Co-gen Distillery Total cost Size / Magnitude of Operation Based on availability of sugarcane in its area of operation, the management of SDVSSKL has planned to go for expansion of the existing sugar factory (5000 TCD) and establishment of 75 KLPD molasses based distillery. 2.7 Process Details Sugarcane, which is used as a raw material in sugar factory, is grown in the field and harvested according to the maturity survey and date of plantation after ensuring maximum sugar content in the cane. Harvesting may be done either manually or mechanically. Thereafter, the cane is transported to the factory. Sugarcane is unloaded mechanically on cane carrier and subjected to different units like crushing mills, raw juice extraction & its processing, weighment of the juice, juice heater, clarifier, evaporator, pan boiling, crystallizer and ultimately centrifuge to obtain final product. Manufacturing of Rectified Spirit (RS), Ethanol and Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) through molasses route comprises of a number of operations and processes involving various reactions of basic raw materials. Eventually, the desired products are formed which are refined and separated. 2.8 Resource Optimization/ Recycling and Reuse All the manufacturing units in SDVSSKL have been designed in versatile fashion by adopting latest process techniques as well as with state-of-the art machinery. 3

4 Effluent from existing as well as expansion activity of sugar factory & co-gen plant would be treated in ETP Duly upgraded after expansion. Entire treated effluent quantity shall be used for irrigation of own factory land as well as given to nearby farm lands. Under the proposed distillery, raw spentwash will be concentrated in Multiple Effective Evaporator (MEE). Conc. spent wash will be burnt in incineration boiler. Condensate from MEE, spent lees and other effluents such as - cooling blow down, boiler blow down, lab & washing effluent will be treat in proposed Condensate Polishing Unit (CPU). Treated water from CPU will be recycled back in process. 2.9 Input Requirements and Infrastructure Facilities including Power Sources Water Water requirement for existing 5000 TCD sugar factory & 20 MW co-gen plant of SDVSSKL is 3490 M 3 /D. After expansion total water requirement for TCD sugar factory and 20 MW Co-gen would be 2993 M 3 /D, out of which 2600 M 3 /D would be cane condensate, 344 M 3 /D would be fresh water taken from Dudhganga river and 49 M 3 /D would be treated water from sugar ETP which shall be used for Gardening.
