1. Introduction M/s.LAXMI ORGANIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED (This Industry, TI) are desirous to expand, diversify and energy integrate the existing specialty chemicals industrial unit for producing green solvents, specialty chemicals and co-generation based captive power plant (CPP), at Plot No. B-2/2, B-3/1/1, B-3/1/2; B-1/1/2, B-1/2/1& B-1/3/2, at Government developed Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) industrial estate, Mahad, district Raigad, Maharashtra. The existing industrial unit is the only production facility in India to manufacture range of specialty chemicals based on acetic acid to cater to demand of pharmaceutical, colorant and agrochemical industry and substitutes imports by about 40% to 50%. The industry now proposes to expand the capacity and add additional capacity to further substitute imports and enhance exports. Indianand worldwide demand for green solvents and specialty chemicals is increasing steadily. The intermediates and solvent proposed to be manufactured will be used in following industry segments. Printing industry : As a green solvent substituting aromatic solvents. Pharmaceutical industry Colorant industry Agrochemical industry Organic synthesis industry Polymer and coating industry The Notification no. S.O. 1533 promulgated on 14 th September 2006 has covered this type of industries under its entry 5 (f). Synthetic organic chemicals industry located in a notified industrial area/ estate will come under Cat Band come under purview of SEAC/SEIAA, Maharashtra to obtain environment clearance for. The industry submitted the proposal to SEAC, Maharashtra in June 2014. Subsequently, SEAC, Maharashtra have taken up the project in its 86th meeting dated 5 th and 6 th Sept 2014, and classified under Category A as the unit is falling within five km from Ecologically Sensitive Area (ESA) and directed TI to approach to Central EAC, MoEF, New Delhi. In the recent past, the industry was granted Environmental Clearances for the same unit in March 2010 and April 2013 by state SEAC/SEIAA. Now we are seeking expansion in production capacity with addition of new products. This prefeasibility report is prepared for forming a frame work for EIA study, scoping and finalizing terms of reference as may be required. Form I, as is prescribed by the said notification is duly filled up and submitted. The prefeasibility report is an accompaniment to the same. 3
Form I submitted by us generally covered Justification, nearby Land Use, Resources, Process, Pollution Control, Aesthetics, Risk Involved, Consequent Developments and Environmental Sensitive Issues. 2. Justification The Indian pharmaceutical industry is the world's second-largest by volume and is likely to lead the manufacturing sector of India. Several Government and private sector projects with huge amount of investments have been initiated but could not attend the speed of development for the need of good quality material. Over the last decade, there has been a sizeable growth in Pharmaceutical sector both in small, medium and large scale units. This has given rise to many small and medium scale units to manufacture pharma intermediate.the ever growing requirements of India,due to higher population and various diseases indicated the need for the growth of this industry. Thus there is a gap in demand and supply. Our efforts of generating products, by-products, downstream products and recycling - reprocessing are indeed needed. With multinational pharmaceutical companies enhancing their presence in India, the long-term prospects of the pharmaceutical industry seem fairly bright. The printing industry is increasing at robust rate due to globalization and change of life style in India. This calls for availability of green solvents like ethyl acetate which will substitute solvents like toluene, MIK and MIBK. Indian agro sector demand is increasing to improve productivity and to deal with attack of various types of pests etc. The intermediates proposed will substitute imports. The colorant industry demand for intermediates is increasing as multinational companies are shifting manufacturing base in India. But the impact of some factors on the industry's growth remains to be seen. For one, there is the power supply situation. Power accounts for around 10% of the manufacturing cost and availability could be an issue in future. Also, manufacturers need to modernize their processes to reduce energy consumption and become more cost efficient. Due to shortage of power in the country, the company proposes to generate captive power by energy integration by setting a co-generation plant and meets its captive requirements of steam and power. The fate of industrialization depends on the proper and effective conjugation of large and medium/small scale industries each supporting each other in their requirement to bridge the gap between demand and supply. In order to be competitive in the global market this synergy between large & medium/small scale industries is a prerogative. Therefore considering the above, large companies do require the help of small units to support them by giving them quality products at lesser price. 4
