Brief Description of Nature of The Project The proposed Bagasse bassed Cogen Project of 30 MW to be set up at NSPL, will operate round the year at estimated average 80% PLF for the first year, 90% for second year, 100% for third year and thereon, covering 160 season days of the sugar factory and 42 off season days. The proposed Cogen Project

4 will be designed for average crushing rate of 4000 TCD ( TCH). All the equipment for the proposed Cogen Project will be designed for a minimum of 4152 hours of operation in a year, on a continuous basis. The Cogen Project will operate on bagasse during season and saved & procured bagasse from group sugar mills, in off-season period. The proposed Cogen Project will be designed to produce surplus power after meeting the entire requirements of steam of the sugar mill, both during season and off season periods. Steam requirement for the sugar crushing of upto 150 TPH will be supplied by the proposed 30 MW cogen plant. 3. Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region Bagasse cogen power potential has been estimated in the region of 5500 MW in the country. Existing similar cogen power plants have resulted in socio economic benefits to the local area, growth in renewable energy and decrease in T & D losses. Bagasse based cogeneration/ power plants are receiving benefits under the Kyoto protocol. Cogeneration is encouraged by the Electricity Act, 2003, Ministry of New and Renewable Energies, regulatory commissions, state governments and all stake holders. The Hon ble Prime Ministers office has encouraged 10% mix of renewable energies in the grid. The Central and State governments have identified this potential and have taken various initiatives to support this sector in many ways. NSPL has installed crushing capacity of 4000 TCD. The command area is rich in sugar cane cultivation and has irrigation facilities. For sustaining the increased steam and power needs of the sugar mill, NSPL requires to strengthen their cogen facility. Based on recent orders of MPERC (Madhya Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission), NSPL has decided to opt for a modern high pressure grid connected bagasse / biomass based cogeneration project. The proposed project has envisaged 126 kg/cm² pressure and 5450 C temperature parameters for steam, which will give optimum efficiency and power generation, when extracted through a matching turbo generator set. The capacity of the boiler and turbine will be 150 TPH and 30 MW respectively. The design philosophy will be to generate optimum levels of power from high pressure steam, supply steam requirements of the sugar complex and auxiliaries, and export optimum level of power. There is Piparia Gadarwara 132 KV transmission line passing near the plant. Power Evacuation is to be done on this line with LILO (Line In Line Out) switchyard arrangements in plant area, 0.5 km away.

5 4. Demand Supply Gap The potential for exportable surplus power from sugar factories through sugar mill based cogeneration projects in India was estimated at 3,500 MW in the year 1993, by the Task Force appointed by the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE), New Delhi, erstwhile known as the Ministry of Non- Conventional Energy Sources. MNRE re-validated the potential at 5000 MW in March 2005 based on increased number of sugar factories (to 573 from 446), adoption of high pressure and temperature configuration i.e. above 67 kg/sq cm and 4950C, as well as taking into account of energy conservation and energy efficiency in sugar manufacturing process. A total of 288 biomass power and cogeneration projects aggregating to 2665 MW capacity have been installed in the country for feeding power to the grid consisting of 130 biomass power projects aggregating to MW and 158 bagasse cogeneration projects in sugar mills with surplus capacity aggregating to MW. In addition, around 30 biomass power projects aggregating to about 350 MW are under various stages of implementation. Around 70 Cogeneration projects are under implementation with surplus capacity aggregating to 800 MW. States which have taken leadership position in implementation of bagasse cogeneration projects are Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The leading States for biomass power projects are Andhra Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. Cogeneration projects have now proven techno-commercial viability in the Indian sugar sector. Integration of sugar mill operations with value added by-products including sale of excess cogenerated power is not only well proven but essential for the industry s survival. The sugar cogen sector has matured and passed through a learning curve of about 10 to 15 years. The earlier projects commissioned of similar capacity, were in the pressure range of 45 to 66 kg/cm2. With increase in experience, increasing costs and requirements of higher efficiency, the recently commissioned projects in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Tamilnadu are at 110 kg/cm2, 540 deg C, which maximise the power generation from biomass. NSPL is planning to opt for technology and supply chain for 126 kg/cm2, 545 deg C. As of September, 2013, out of the total potential of 7500 MW from bagasse based cogeneration power projects at sugar factories, the installed capacity in India cumulates to about 2500 MW (150 projects) and additional 2000 MW

6 (125 projects) are under advanced stages of implementation. The cumulative penetration is in the range of 60% in this promising yet difficult renewable energy sector. The balance potential is mainly from the co-operative & public sector sugar factories from various states. The progress is not encouraging in these subsectors due to specific barriers associated including high capital costs for the cogen power plants & associated essential modernization, inability to raise required equity & loans from financial institutions/sdf in time, poor manpower capacity, off-season fuel linkage etc. These barriers need to be addressed for harnessing the balance potential. Power Sector Scenario AS per the LGBR Report, , it was estimated that during the year , there would be energy shortage of 5.1% and peak shortage of 2.0%. The annual energy requirement and availability and peak demand and peak availability in the country are given in the Table below. Particulars Energy (MU) Peak (MW) Requirement Availability Surplus (+) / Shortage (-) Surplus (+) / Shortage (-) % Source Ministry of Power / Central Electricity Authority Sector wise Total Installed Capacity Sector wise total installed capacity in India, as on August, 2015, is as given below: Sector MW % age State Sector 96, Central Sector 74, Private Sector 1,06, Total 2,76,783 B) Generation India has been one of the fastest growing markets for new power generation capacity addition since 1990s and is currently the fifth largest power generator in the world. For the last 24 years, the country has shown a cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) in its annual power generation capacity; from ~66 gigawatt (GW) in 1991 to over 276 GW in The fuel wise breakup of the installed capacity as on 31st March, 1991

7 and 31st September, 2015 (shown below) depicts the shift from hydro to renewable, leaving thermal sources viz. coal and gas, at the same level except for inter-se shift between them.

Wind Power installation registered steep de-growth of 47% (from 3,197 MW in FY to 1,699 MW in FY ) due to withdrawal of Accelerated Depreciation, expiry of Generation Based Incentive (GBI) and delays associated with project approvals. Hon ble CERC with a view to strength the REC market, wherein recently supply exceeded demand manifold, has extended the validity of RECs from 365 days to 730 days from the date of its Issuance for RECs issued on or after 1st November, Factors such as poor financial condition of Discoms, absence of vibrant REC market, lack of incentives, high capital investment & low returns and delays in project approvals prevent Wind Power Projects from realizing their true potential. Solar Power installations registered a steep growth of 81% (from 932 MW in March 2012 to 1,686 MW in March 2013) under various supportive central and state policies. Under the National Solar Mission, GoI has announced the Phase II of Jawaharlal Nehru Solar Mission with a target of 10,000 MW installations during the 12th Plan. Further, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) released draft guidelines for setting up of 750 MW Grid Solar PV power projects under Viability Gap Funding scheme, wherein 30% of the project cost will be financed by MNRE. Many states have also announced various policy measures to promote solar power generation. In order to improve the acceptability of Wind and Solar Power in the grid, Hon ble CERC has issued an order directing implementation of Renewable Regulatory Fund mechanism w.e.f. 1st July, 2013, wherein the wind and solar generators shall be responsible for forecasting their generation. To spur investment in the renewable energy sector, the following were announced in the Union Budget 2013: 1. Re-introduction of the GBI for Wind Power Projects, with allocation of Rs. 800 Core; and

10 2. Low interest bearing funds from the National Clean Energy Fund to Indian Renewable energy Development Agency to on-lend to viable renewable energy projects. F) Power Trading An effective power market is yet to develop in India, where currently just 11% of the total generated electricity in the country is traded in short term power market comprising Bilateral Segment, UI & the Power Exchanges (IEX and PXIL). Of the total generation of 912 MUs in FY , 99 MUs of power were traded through short term power market, the composition of which is as follows: Power Exchanges have shown remarkable growth of 55% rising from 14,822 MUs in FY to 23,024 MUs in FY Further, power traded through UI Mechanism has shown a drop of 11% as compared to FY whereby the volume declined from 27,758 MUs in FY to 24,759 MUs in FY due to UI frequency band reduction by Hon ble CERC. Hon ble CERC is in the process of introducing the concept of ancillary services for reducing dependence of utilities on UI. The share of trading segment is expected to remain low owing to various constraints including fuel deficit, fuel allocation for long term arrangements only, transmission capacity constraints, limited implementation of open access, poor utility finances and trading margin cap. Sugar Industry Review All India The origin of Indian sugar industry dates back to 1930, when the first sugar factory was set up in the pre-independence era. Over the last 76 years, the sugar industry has steadily grown and has become the backbone of the agricultural and rural economy in India. Today, sugar is the second largest agro processing industry, next to the textile industry. India is one of the largest producer of sugar in the world, with a production of over 25 million tones. Sugar factories are located mostly in the rural India. They act as centres of development, provide largest direct employment in the rural areas and contribute substantially to the Central and State exchequers. The prospects of earning foreign exchange from export of sugar are also quite high. Sugar factories in India have capacities ranging from 1250 TCD to TCD. The Indian sugar industry has developed indigenous capabilities for design,

11 manufacture, supply, operation and maintenance, R&D and cane development. The major stakeholders of this industry in India are Ministry of Agriculture, Govt. of India, Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, federations of co-operative and private sector sugar factories at the national and the State levels, sugarcane growing farmers, equipment and technology suppliers, research institutions, consultants and service providers, financial institutions and Central / State Governments. A total of 703 sugar factories are in operation today, with additional sugar factories under implementation in different parts of the nation. The area under sugar cane cultivation, sugar cane production, sugar cane crushing in sugar factories, average season days, sugar recovery and sugar production have increased steadily over the years. The crop yield per hectare and recovery has improved, particularly in the last decade. Sugar factories in India are spread over the entire country; however 92% of them are located in 9 States viz., Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab and Haryana in the north, Maharashtra and Gujarat in the west and Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh & Tamil Nadu in the south. More than 80% sugar factories are below 3500 TCD capacity and balance have higher capacities. About 44% of the Indian sugar factories are in the co-operative, 9% in Public sectors and balance 47% in the private sector. The Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, and Government of India revised the standard specifications for sugar plant & equipment, in the year The special committee finalized specifications for economical capacity of 2500 TCD, expandable to 3500 TCD, employing higher-pressure boiler and turbine configuration and efficient equipment, with a potential to export incidental surplus power to the grid. The Indian sugar industry was de licensed in the year 1998 vide press note No. 12 issued by the Government of India, Ministry of Industry, Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, on August 31, The salient features of de licensing are as follows: a) The sugar industry stands deleted from the list of industries requiring compulsory licensing under the provisions of Industries Development and Regulation Act, However, in order to avoid unhealthy competition among sugar factories to procure sugarcane, a minimum distance of 15 km would

12 continue to be observed between and existing sugar factory and a new factory, by exercise of powers under the Sugar Control Order, b) The entrepreneurs, who wish to de-license their sugar factory, would require filing an Industrial Entrepreneur Memoranda (IEM) with the secretariat of industrial assistance in the Ministry of Industry, as laid down for all delicensed industries, in terms of the press note dated August 2, 1991, as amended from time to time. c) Entrepreneurs who have been issued Letter of Intent (LoI) for manufacture of sugar need not file an initial IEM. In such cases, the LoI holder shall only file Part B of the IEM at the time of commencement of commercial production against the LoI issued to them. It is however open to entrepreneurs to file an initial IEM (in lieu of LoI / industrial license held by them) if they so desire, whenever any variation from the conditions and parameters stipulated in the LoI / industrial license is contemplated. The statistics on economic and commercial performance for the industry is quite fluctuating. The changes in the agro climatic conditions and sugarcane crop production, as well as the sugar markets have been mainly responsible for these fluctuations. Efficiency, quality, and integration have become order of the day for this industry. The industry has grown till today over the last seven decades. The strength and capacity built so far will surely help meet these challenges. The following are major options to meet these challenges: a. Effecting substantial improvement in cane development and management, including cultivation practices, varietals and water management, so as to improve yield and recovery, without affecting the average fibre content. b. Effecting visible improvement in the operational efficiencies and reduction of sugar losses c. Effecting and sustaining improvement in energy efficiency, both in steam and power, for saving of additional bagasse, for both sugar and by-products manufacture d. Expansion of capacities and diversification into absolute alcohol/ethanol and cogeneration power projects e. Effecting adequate capacity building within and without f. Maximizing sugar exports for value addition g. Effective marketing in the national and international markets h. Product quality and diversification

13 i. Commercializing the excess power capacity by exporting to utilities or to other bulk power consumers. Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, Department of Food & Public Distribution Government of India has issued a revised order dated November 10, 2006, amending Sugarcane (Control) Order, The key provisions of this order are outlined below: a. No new sugar factory shall be set up within a radius of 15 km of any existing sugar factory or another new sugar factory in a State or two or more States. b. Before filing the Industrial Entrepreneur Memorandum (IEM) with a Central Govt., a certificate from the Cane Commissioner or Director Sugar or specified authority of the concerned State Govt. shall be obtained regarding the distance criteria re-defined as above. c. Submission of performance guarantee of Rs. 1 crore to Chief Director, Sugar, Dept. of Food & Public Distribution, within 30 days of filing the IEM, as a surety for implementation of the IEM within the stipulated or extended time. d. The stipulated time for taking effective steps shall be 2 years and commercial production shall commence within 4 years from the date of filing of the IEM, failing which the IEM shall stand de-recognized and performance guarantee shall be forfeited. e. If an IEM remains un-implemented within the stipulated or extended time limits, the performance guarantee shall be forfeited after giving a reasonable opportunity of being heard. f. The above clauses will be applicable for IEM already acknowledged as on the date of this notification, but who have not taken effective steps for its implementation, duly defined, shall furnish a performance guarantee of Rs. 1 crore to the Chief Director, Sugar. Indian Sugar Industry The Indian sugar Industry registered a moderate growth of 7% in sugar production during season in comparison to season. This has been significantly lower in comparison to the previous two seasons wherein the growth has been around 29-30%. The year also saw an increase both in the area under cane cultivation and yield per hectare which resulted in an increase in sugarcane production by 4% at 358 million tones. A marginal increase in recovery and an improved drawl rate of cane to sugar mills resulted in increased sugar production in the country to 26.3 million tones during from 24.4 million tones in

14 The overall yield of sugar cane in India has shown an improvement during the year at 70.3 tonnes per hectare. Major sugar producing states Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra have shown a decline in comparison to the previous season whereas states such as Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, and Uttaranchal recorded a higher yield during season. Even though the overall recovery of sugar from cane in the country has gone up to 10.25% from 10.17% during the year, the largest sugarcane producing state of Utttar Pradesh, recorded a marginal decline in recovery at 9.07% as against 9.14% during the previous season. The recovery of sugar in the states of Maharashtra and Karnataka has shown improvement over the previous year. The Government set up a committee under the Chairmanship of Dr. C. Ragarajan, the chairman of Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, to look into all the issues of deregulation of sugar sector. The committee has recently submitted its report and has inter-alia recommended developing a sugarcane pricing mechanism linked with sugar prices, doing away with controls such as levy obligation, regulated release of sugar and command area concept by providing freedom to the farmers to supply cane to sugar mill of their choice. The recommendations are aimed at ushering in innovations, investments and improvements in the efficiencies of sugar mills by way of competition among them. The panel also recommended relaxation of regulations over the usage of by-products like molasses, bagasse, ethanol and power co-generation to help the sugar mills enhance the viability of the sector and reduce the cyclical nature of industry. The report advocated devising a stable trade policy for import and export of sugar to ensure that the industry benefits from the global market. Policy on Bagasse based Cogeneration Power Projects Central Policy The Electricity Act, 2003 encourages efficient utilisation of resources. The Act provides for the encouragement for renewable energy and cogeneration, while determining the regulatory tariff structure. This Act guides the regulatory commissions for fixing the tariffs for renewable energy sources, including bagasse based cogeneration power projects. The Act defines the functions of the SERCs in section 86 (1), a) to k). This section directs the SERCs for promoting cogeneration & generation of electricity through renewable energy sources by providing suitable measures for connectivity with the grid and sale of electricity to any person. SERCs are advised to specify, for purchase of electricity from such sources, a percentage of total consumption of electricity in the area of a distribution licensee.

15 The Government of India, through the Ministry of New Renewable Energy (MNRE), is encouraging the existing and new sugar factories to set up cogeneration power plants. In order to achieve the revised potential of about 5000 MW power from cogeneration from sugar factories in India, the Ministry has been undertaking promotional efforts under the National Program on Biomass / Cogeneration Power since Apart from providing guidelines to the States for purchase of exportable power from such projects, the Ministry has been offering several promotional and fiscal incentives to this sector. The specific incentives from the Ministry included capital grant and soft loan during period, interest subsidy from 1-3 % depending on the temperature and pressure configuration during period, subsidy for preparation of detailed project reports and assistance in syndication of loans, financial assistance for State Nodal Agencies, consultants, industry associations for undertaking promotional efforts, etc. The prevailing policy again encourages development of these projects in co-operative and joint sectors, by providing capital subsidy up to maximum of Rs. 8 crore per project, depending on the pressure and temperature configuration used. The capital incentive for the private sector is substantially lower, due to commercialisation of these projects in this sector. State Policy To encourage renewable energy power projects in the State, Government of Madhya Pradesh had taken initiative and formulated bankable Power Purchase policies based on the source of renewable energy. The policies were mostly in line with the guidelines issued by MNRE. Madhya Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (MPERC) has issued power purchase policy through the public hearing process for different renewable energy sources. MPERC Order a) MPERC has issued an Order dated April 01, 2013 determining tariff for the purchase of electricity by the respective transmission / distribution companies from non-conventional energy sources including bagasse based co-generation projects. The main features of the MPERC order are indicated below: i. Annual PLF of 53% for co-generation plants for the purpose of tariff determination ii. O & M expenses for co-generation units shall be taken at 3% with an annual escalation of 5% per annum iii. Interest on working capital at the rate of 13.5% on two months bills

16 iv. Auxiliary consumption of 8.5% v. Overall fuel price at Rs.1583/- per MT for the purpose of tariff determination of co-generation plants vi. The fuel cost escalation at 5%per annum for factoring the same in tariff computation vii. Station heat rate of 3600 kcal/kg with bagasse GCV of 2250 kcal/kg. viii. Levelised tariff for co-generation projects as Rs.6.28 per unit for 20 years of the project life. The exportable surplus power generated from the proposed project for sale to transmission/ distribution licensees qualifies under Renewable Purchase Obligations and the MPERC tariff order on bagasse based cogeneration projects. 5 Imports vs. Indigenous production No imports for production have been proposed for the project. 6 Export possibility The project is captive in nature to meet the power requirement of the Sugar Mill. Balance power shall be given to state electricity board. 7 Domestic/export markets The project is captive in nature to meet the power requirement of the Sugar Mill. Balance power shall be given to state electricity board. 8 Employment generation (direct and indirect) due to the project Total 125 number of employee are working in Sugar Mill. With the commencement of power plant operation, 40 number of employment will be generated. 9 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1.

System frequency 50 +5% Auxiliaries Cooling System To conserve water, decrease project lead time, decrease O&M costs associated with large cooling towers especially with this site having high TDS of above 2000 ppm in raw water, it is decided to opt for air cooled condenser. The ACC will be typical A-frame construction with 5/6 modules & 1 street.

Pumps The head / flow characteristics of all pumps required in the proposed cogeneration power plant viz., boiler feed pump, condensate extraction pumps, cooling tower pumps, etc. will be such that the head continuously rises with decreasing capacity, until a maximum head is reached at zero flow. Maximum run-out flow should at least 130% of duty point flow. The shut off head should be at least 1.1 times the duty point head and should not be more than 1.2 times the duty point head. The power consumption curves should be of non-overloading type with the maximum power occurring at or near duty point or towards maximum run out flow.
