The current proposal is for putting up a new Standalone Cement Grinding Unit at Gaithulapalem, Tallapalem & Narasapuram Villages, Kasimkota Mandal, Visakhapatnam District,Andhra Pradesh with a capacity of 2 x 1.0 million tons per annum to meet the demand of Cement in and around Visakhapatnam & other nearby Districts / States. 2 (ii) Brief Description of the Project The proposal is to put up a new Standalone Cement Grinding Unit with a capacity of 2 x 1.0 million tons per annum to manufacture Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) / Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) / Portland Slag Cement (PSC) using Clinker from APCL unit located at Nalgonda, Telangana and other nearby Cement Plants, Fly Ash from National Thermal Power Plant, Simhadri, Visakhapatnam & Vizag Steel Plant, Visakhapatnam, Slag from Vizag steel plant and Gypsum from Coromandal Fertilizers Limited, Visakhapatnam. The estimated Project Cost is Rs.550 crores. 6 P a g e

8 2 (iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region identification of the Project The southern region accounts for the largest share in overall Cement production due to the vast availability of Limestone. Cement consumption varies across regions due to the differences in the Demand-Supply, Per Capita Income and the level of Industrial/Infrastructure Development in each state. The expected growth of Infrastructure/Construction Sector in the country is set to increase the demand for Cement. Pan-India demand for Cement is growing at a robust Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7-8 per cent to reach about 321 million tons in from almost 225 million tons in Also, after bi-furcation of State of Andhra Pradesh, a huge demand for Cement is anticipated, due to expected Infrastructure developmental activities. 2 (iv) Demand-Supply Gap The Demand for Cement is closely related to the growth in the Infrastructure/ Construction Sector. Consequently, Cement demand has been posting a steady growth rate propelled by the increased thrust on Infrastructure Development and the higher demand from the Housing Sector. This trend is likely to continue in the coming years. In India, the demand from the Infrastructure Segment is growing at a robust CAGR of percent, supported mainly by the government's thrust on Infrastructure Development. This segment is expected to account for about 23 per cent of total Cement Demand over to Though the Housing Sector will continue to be the dominant consumer of Cement, CRISIL Research expects its share to be about 58 per cent over the next 5 years. The demand from Urban Housing is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5-6 per cent over the next 5 years, largely led by new projects. Demand from Rural Housing projects is likely to grow at a CAGR of 4-5 per cent, as rising rural incomes and higher government investments boost Cement Demand in the Rural and Semi-Urban regions. 7 P a g e

9 CRISIL Research expects around 70 million tons of Cement capacities to be commissioned from to The total demand of Cement is can be met by the available capacity and the additional capacities proposed. 2 (v) Imports Vs Indigenous production The landed cost of imported Cement mainly depends on the taxes/duties levied and already representations have been made to Union Ministry to provide a level playing field to the Cement Industry. With adequate in-house capacity, the entire requirement of Cement can be met from indigenous production of Cement. 2 (vi) Export Possibility India, the world's second largest Cement manufacturer, currently exports two to three per cent of its production and that is mainly in the form of Clinker, an input for Cement making, to neighboring countries. The countries like Indonesia, UAE, Nepal and Bangladesh now, have set up their own Grinding Units. Nepal has increased customs duty, leaving Indian exports unviable. 2 (vii) Domestic / Export Markets With the expected growth of Infrastructure/Housing Sectors the domestic market of Cement is bound to grow. The export market may not see much increase. 2 (viii) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project The proposed Project will give direct employment to about 60 persons and indirect employment to about 150 persons. In addition to the environmental benefits like utilization of waste materials like Fly Ash, Gypsum, etc., there will be a huge positive impact due to the proposal, by way of employment, better socioeconomic conditions, improved local and regional economy, etc. 8 P a g e
