EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Lafarge India Limited (LIL) is operating Jojobera Cement Plant (JCP), a State-of-the-art cement grinding unit based on latest and most ecofriendly technology adjacent to Thermal Power plant of Tata Power Station near Jamshedpur. The plant has been set up with the primary objective of utilizing the waste product of Steel manufacturing slag and Fly Ash produced by Tata Power Limited (TPL) which was earlier considered as solid waste. The present production details are; Million Tonnes Per Annum PSC (Max.) Portland Pozzolona (Max.) Cement (PPC)) However the production is limited to 4.6 Million Tonnes per annum The unit is utilizing bulk quantity of Fly Ash generated by Tata Thermal Power Station and the Slag generated from Tata Iron & Steel Co. Ltd. (TISCO) in an eco-friendly manner and thus is instrumental in abating the Pollution in the region in terms of Solid waste utilization approximate 0.35 MTPA of fly-ash and approximate 2.2 MTPA of slag. The required Clinker produced at LIL sister units Sonadih Cement Plant (SCP) and Arasmeta Cement Plant (ACP) is transported to Jamshedpur by Rail, Slag from TISCO, Fly Ash from TPL. The Environmental Clearance for this unit was issued vide letter no J11011/638/2008- IA II (I) on for producing ground cement of 4.6 Million Tonnes per annum(mtpa), with Portland Slag Cement at 3.2 MTPA and Portland Pozzolona Cement (PPC) at 1.4 MTPA. (Annexure-I) Subsequently, to meet the trend in the market, LIL obtained Amendment for Environmental Clearance from Ministry vide letter no.

Safety is the cornerstone of the Company s performance culture and longstanding people-centric tradition. All Lafarge India plants have an innate culture of safety consciousness and assured best-in-class Health & Safety standards. (II) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT Presently, Cement production capacity of the plant is 4.6 MTPA with 4.0 Million Ton per Annum, (max) PSC and 1.0 Million Ton per annum (max) of PPC. The required Clinker produced at LIL sister units Sonadih Cement Plant and Arasmeta Cement Plant is transported to Jamshedpur by Rail and Ground along with Slag (after drying) to produce PSC and Fly Ash to produce PPC with addition of gypsum. The proposal is now to produce of about 1.0 MTPA (max) Composite Cement by blending of Ground Slag & blendable PPC keeping the total capacity at the present level of 4.6 MTPA. For making Composite Cement, a blendable PPC bin, weighing scale and blender will be installed and same shall be stored in one of the 6

8 existing cement silos. Ground slag will be used from the existing operation. The details of production capacity with change of product mix is given below S. No in million tons per annum (MTPA) Present capacity Proposed change PSC 3.2 PPC 1.4 Composite Cement Total (Max.) 1.0 (Max.) 1.0(Max) 4.6 (III) NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND OR REGION Very purpose of need of project is introduction of new ISS (Indian Standard Specification) for Composite Cement (CC) wherein, Lafarge seeing opportunity for further reduction in CO2 emission & conservation of natural resources by means reducing clinker component which requires Limestone, coal and water thereby reducing Green house gas emission. The most important raw material for these cements are blast furnace slag as a byproduct from the iron making process and fly ash as a byproduct from electricity production in coal fired power plants. These by-products earlier were seen as waste. In the developed technical world, these products were renamed from waste to by-product and are used as raw material in producing the blended cements, namely PSC and PPC. For more utilization of the industrial wastes or by products and also to minimize the Clinker consumption, there by reduction in Power requirement, better utilization of Solid waste, with out compromising on the quality of strength, Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has introduced Composite Cement as per IS : 2015 whose mix is about 15% - 35 % Fly ash, 20-50% Slag, more than 35% OPC (Clinker + Gypsum). Overall percentage of Slag and Fly Ash should not exceed 65 % in any case. Based on the concept of waste to by-product, and in view of the demand, LIL now proposes to produce Composite Cement to max. Quantity of 1.0 MTPA in addition to PSC and PPC, keeping total 7

9 production capacity of the plant at 4.6 MTPA for which EC was granted. (IV) DEMAND- SUPPLY GAP Market demand and projections Cement growth is expected to be above the GDP growth of the country, which is expected to be around 8% for the coming years. The Indian cement Industry is poised for a period of significant growth and the demand for cement is expected to match the current availability by the end of the current fiscal. Cement demand has registered a CAGR of about 8.5% over the last decade. In fact, at the current levels of growth, the cement industry may have to add over 90 Million Tons of cement capacity to meet the demand for cement over the next 5 years. Cement companies were operating at levels below capacity in the past but with the demand and supply reaching equilibrium; almost all plants are working at above 90% capacity. The rate of growth in cement demand is growing at a faster pace as compared to the capacity change. This will improve the realizations of the industry in the coming year. (V) IMPORTS Vs INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION India is self sufficient to meet the demands of the market with the GDP projected at 10% in the coming decades and in view of the infrastructure. (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 TO THE PROJECT No additional employment is proposed 8

(VII) RESOURCES OPTIMIZATION/ RECYCLING AND REUSE ENVISAGED IN THE PROJECT, IF ANY, SHOULD BE BRIEF OUTLINED The concept of waste-minimization, recycle/reuse/recover techniques, Energy conservation, and natural resource conservation have been considered and detailed below. Waste minimization: The plant is presently using about 2.11 MTPA of Slag & 0.34 MTPA of ash of TISCO & TPL respectively which otherwise is treated as waste and needs disposal. In the proposed change - more wet slag will be consumed and more clinker will be saved. Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions - CO2 By introducing composite cement we are expecting about 15% increase in cementitious consumption over PPC. Which will bring down equivalent quantity of clinker consumption there by coal. For 1.00 MTPA of CC, about 15% Clinker is saved and there by reduction of Green house gases by means of reduction in coal consumption at clinker manufacturing unit, which is approx. 30 million Kg of CO2.
