PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT

PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT The Proposed Th Proposed Food Colours and Lake Colours Manufacturing Unit will be established on Plot 22/1 - B, Dhatav, MIDC Roha Tal.: Roha, Dist.: Raigad, (Maharashtra). The location of the Industry is towards west side and at a distance of about 3.5 Km from Roha City. 1.1 Need of the Project The basic application of synthetic food colours or artificial food colours include colouring of food items, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, personal care products, dairy products, confectionary, bakery, sweet meats etc. Addition of a suitable colour enhanced the appearance of fresh and process foods. Presently, there is global trend towards the more usage of natural colours in food, pharmaceutical and personal care industries. Due to adverse effect of synthetic dyes, all countries have made strict regulations about the permitted colours to be used as food additives. Most of the countries have prohibited the use of several synthetic dyes as food colouring agents and permitted a limited number of synthetic colours under specified maximum limits. The ever-increasing demand for food colours as well as lake colours in India and abroad has encouraged the promoters to go for food colours and lake colours manufacturing unit. 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 Location Site selection for setting up a project is governed by some criteria which includes certain conditions.

The site is located at a rural surrounding and its nearest railway station is Roha railway station, located at about 3.61 Km and nearest airport is Mumbai airport, located at about 79.27 Km from the proposed site. 3.2 Land Form, Land Use and Ownership: The premises have a gentle terrain. Soil is mostly, Yellowish Red colour and loamy in texture. Land use is industrial as the area has been developed by MIDC for industrial activity 3.3 Topography Raigad is a coastal district situated on the west coast of India. It is slightly elongated in the North - South direction and has a long indented coastline. The length of the coasts is about 160 Km and the length of the coast line is about 240 Km with a number of creeks and inlets. 3.4 Existing Land Use Pattern The total geographical area of Raigad district is about 62875 Sq. Km. It can be visualized that about 30.1 % is cultivable area of total land area. 6

3.5 Existing Infrastructure MIDC has acquired 244.69 Hectares of land for the development of industrial belt. Basic infrastructure viz. good roads, water supply, storm water system, street lights, common facility centers, recreation, communication facilities, bank, post office, telephone exchange etc. are available in this area. 3.6 Soil Classification The soil found in the district is forest soil, varkas soil, rice soil, khar or salt soil, coastal alluvium and laterite soil. A thin layer of soil containing humus and organic materials are found in the deep-forested area, which yields valuable forest products and are not used for agriculture. These soils are heavily eroded due to grazing and cutting of forest trees. 3.7 Climate The climate of the district is typical of that on the west coast of India, with plentiful, regular and seasonal rainfall during the monsoon season. The year may be divided into four seasons; the summer season from March to May, the rainy season from June to September, the post-monsoon season in October and November, and the winter season from December to February. The average annual rainfall for the district as a whole is 3028.9 mm. The air is humid throughout the year. Winds are very strong during the monsoon season and blow from west or south-west. 3.8 Social Infrastructure Available The area is well served with infrastructural facilities such as road, rail, power station, and telecommunications. Fire Station: - MIDC has developed a Fire Station which is run by Roha Manufacturers Association. Truck Terminus and Bus Stop: - A truck terminus is available in the region to be developed. Common Facility Centre: - This facility centre houses includes post office and rest house. Many other facilities are planned to develop in the centre. Connectivity:- MIDC has developed a telephone exchange building in this area. Power Supply: MIDC has developed MSEB. This ensures the supply of electricity to the region. 4.0 PLANNING BRIEF 4.1 Planning Concept There are about 915 Nos. of industries in Raigad Region. Out of which 336 Nos. falls under red category, 202 orange category & remaining falls under green category.

4.2 Population Projection According to Census 2001, district Raigad has a total population 2,207,929, comprising of 1,117,628 males and 1,090,301 females. The population of the district in Census 2001 is 21% higher than the district population of 1,824,816 in 1991 Census. The average growth rates for the rural and urban areas of the district are 11.8 % and 62.7 % respectively. The proportion of urban to total population in Raigad district stands at 24.2 % in 2001 as it was 18 % in 1991 indicating a slow pace of urbanization in the district. 5.0 PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE 5.1 Industrial Area As mentioned above, MIDC has acquired 244.69 Ha of land for the development of industrial belt. The total land acquired by the project proponent in MIDC is 1.7 Ha. Under the proposed activity a systemic green belt would be developed in consultation with the district forest officer. The detailed area statement for the proposed project is as follows- 5.2 Greenbelt & Rain water Harvesting A plot admeasuring of 17,990 Sq.M. i.e. 1.7 Ha is been allotted to M/s. Arjun Food Colourant Mfg. Pvt. Ltd. by MIDC. As per MoEF norms, an area of about 2919.84.84 Sq. M. would be developed under the green belt which accounts 33% of the open area of the industry. 5.3 Social Infrastructure MIDC has developed internal roads, as well as it is provided with good connectivity facilities. 5.4 Connectivity The proposed activity is scheduled to commence at a site in MIDC Roha, Dist.: Raigad. The site is located at a rural surrounding and nearest railway station is Roha, located at about 3.66 Km and nearest Airport is Mumbai, located at about 79.27 Km. 5.5 Drinking Water Management The main source of the water for processing as well as domestic purpose in proposed unit will be water supply scheme of MIDC. 5.6 Sewerage System The domestic effluent would be treated separately in proposed STP Plant. 5.7 Industrial Waste Management Industrial Effluent Industrial Effluent The trade effluent generated from the industry would passes through the physicochemical treatment, biological Treatment and tertiary treatment. Further, the treated effluent would be recycled for various in plant purposes. 8

Water pollution potential of the project will be mitigated by treatment of effluent in Effluent Treatment Plant and thereafter it will be recycled for in plant process. The air pollution potential of the project will be mitigated by providing Pulse Jet Type Bag Filter as air pollution control system. For minimization/prevention of the fugitive emission, regular maintenance of valves, pumps and other equipments will be done. To prevent leakage entire process will be carried out in the closed vessel as well as would provide with adequate scrubbing system for efficient absorption of process gas. Adequate arrangement for handling and disposal of Hazardous Solid waste will be made. Fire protection and safety measures would be provided to take care of fire and explosion hazard. Direct and indirect employment opportunities would be extended to the nearby resident. The proposed project would be implemented by adopting latest technologies and equipments thereby minimizing the pollution load in Environment. 10
