DCM Shriram Ltd. Sugar factories are located in Ajbapur, Rupapur, Hariawan and Loni in Uttar Pradesh, with a combined installed capacity of 33,000 TCD (tonnes crushed daily) and a power- generating capacity of 115 MW. The Hybrid seed operations- ‘Bioseed’ started in Hyderabad (India) and now have a global footprint with presence in Vietnam, Philippines and Indonesia.

The promoters having learnt from the operation of the unit strongly believe that there is ample scope for Sugarcane based unit in the State of Uttar Pradesh.

iii) Need for the Project and its importance to the country and or region Sugarcane is generally regarded as one of the most significant and efficient sources of biomass for bio-fuel (ethanol) production. Sugarcane offers production alternatives to food, such as feed, fibre and energy, particularly co-generation of electricity and ethanol. In India, sugar is an essential item of mass consumption and the cheapest source of energy, supplying around 10 percent of the daily calorie intake. India is the second largest producer of sugar (16.3 million-ton production in 2008-09) and India is the largest consumer of sugar in the world. As per the latest production data, MY 2016/17 sugar production is estimated at 21.9 MMT, down by 8.4 percent from the previous estimate and almost 20 percent below last year’s production. As a result, total sugar supplies are limited to 32.6 MMT, which is just enough to meet the out-year consumption and stock requirements. For the third time in recent years, Indian sugar production dropped below consumption (25.6 MMT). Maharashtra and UP will contribute 22 percent and 43 percent respectively, of total production (crystal weight basis).

DSCL Sugar- Hariawan is proposing for capacity expansion of 10,000 TCD to 18,000 TCD of sugarcane based unit along with Cogeneration Power Plant of 24 MW to 70 MW located at Village & P.O – Hariawan, District- Hardoi-241405(U.P.). The proposed expansion of sugar mill plant will play an important role in upliftment of the socio economic condition of the region particularly nearby villages.

iv) Consumption India’s centrifugal sugar production in marketing year (MY) 2017/18 (Oct-Sept) is expected to increase by 18 percent to 25.8 million metric tons (MMT). Uttar Pradesh will be the largest producer of sugar in India, followed by Maharashtra. Out-year sugar consumption is forecast to recover to 26 MMT, a marginal increase from the 25.6 MMT estimated for current year. Bulk consumers account for two-thirds of total sugar consumption in India. Over the last six months, moderate sugar demand from soft drink manufacturers, bakeries, hotels, restaurants, and other bulk and individual users led to a decrease in aggregate demand, matched by relatively lower sales reported by sugar mills. The disruption in the flow of currency following India’s demonetization in November 2016 is the


4

likely explanation for this dip. Most khandsari sugar is consumed by local sweet shops and gur is mostly consumed in rural households and for feed use. India’s stable economy, rising incomes, growing young population, and changing consumption patterns are key drivers for food consumption. v) Sugarcane Production and Marketing policy

The GOI supports research, development, training of farmers, transfer of new varieties, and improved production technologies (seed, implements, pest management) to sugarcane growers as to raise yields and recovery rates. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research conducts sugarcane research and development at the national level. State agricultural universities, regional research institutions, and state agricultural extension agencies support these efforts at the regional and state levels. Central and state governments also support sugarcane growers by ensuring finances and input supplies at affordable prices. To increase the area of cultivation and production in the country, the GOI has implemented the “Sustainable Development Fund of Sugarcane Based Cropping System Area under Macro Management Mode of Agriculture” program in various sugarcane growing states. Additionally, under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (National Agriculture Development Program), state governments have the flexibility to choose priorities for crop development projects, including sugarcane. Per media reports, the Union Budget 2017/18 (April-March) allocated about $76 million under the Sugar Development Fund to provide assistance in the form of interest to sugar mills towards working capital loans of about $980 million. The GOI projects a sugar tax collection of about $460 million. At the current exchange rate, the GOI collects $3.58 per MT of sugar produced by mills in support of the Sugarcane Development Fund (SDF), which is used to support research, extension, and technological improvement in the sugar sector.

As of April 1, 2017, the GOI will stop providing the INR 18.50/kilogram subsidy on sugar to states for selling it via public distribution system (PDS) at ration shops. A sum of about $3 billion was allocated in the Union Budget 2017/18 for clearing past claims by state governments. Earlier, the GOI continued to subsidize sugar for consumers by allowing state governments to procure sugar from the market through open tenders. The gap between open market prices and PDS sale prices/retail issue price was covered by the GOI. Following two years of deregulation of sale of sugar, the GOI in 2015 reviewed the ‘decontrol of sugar marketing’ and allowed states/Union Territories to either absorb the additional cost, if any, on account of handling, transportation and dealer’s commission or pass it on to consumers by including it in the retail issue price (INR 13.50 per kg). The new system was adopted by 30 states/Union Territories (UTs). Industry sources expect that the sugar industry will continue to be subject to production controls by state


5

governments, including sugar industry licensing, specified cane procurement areas for sugar mills, and cane pricing.

vi) Domestic/Export Market

There is a huge demand of Indian made Sugarcane based sugar in the national and international market. Assuming normal market conditions, India may import an estimated 0.5 MMT of sugar (mostly raw) in MY 2017/18. A 20-percent drop in total supplies over the last three years will encourage imports only to augment local supplies while consumption will recover marginally to 26 MMT. The preceding statement assumes duty-free imports for commercial viability while export in forecast year is estimated to be negligible except for some sugar re-exported under the under the Advance License Scheme (ALS). Under the ALS, local sugar millers are allowed to import raw sugar duty-free against a future export commitment. Note: If sugar production is higher than anticipated, the Government of India (GOI) will likely intervene with market controls and regulate levels of imports. International sugar prices have been lower than domestic Indian prices since October 2016. Prevailing domestic sugar prices should encourage mills to sell locally, keeping Indian sugar exports less competitive. Although India mostly imports sugar from Brazil, in recent years small volumes of New Zealand and British sugar were also imported (500,000-800,000 MT), along with even smaller volumes were from Germany, the United States, Italy, the UAE and Australia. Current year sugar exports are nil except for an estimated 1.2 MMT as refined sugar re-exported under the ALS. Commercial imports are now estimated at 500,000 MT (mostly raw).

vii) Employment Generation (Direct and indirect)

Due to the proposed expansion of sugar mill project in the region direct and indirect employment avenues will be created in the nearby areas. In existing 10000 TCD sugarcane based sugar mill 310 manpower is required in season and approx 275 manpower is used during off-season. After expansion of existing sugar mill approx 140 persons will be added during season and approx 145 in off-season. Apart from direct employment of approx 450 people during operation, the industry will create employment for around 1500(approx) people during construction phase and numerous other indirect employment opportunities.

1. Extraction of juice:The sugarcane is passed through devices like knives for cutting the stalks into chips before being subjected to crushing in a milling tandem comprising 4 to 6 three roller mills. Fine preparation with its impact on final extraction, is receiving special attention &shredders &particularly the fibrizers are gaining popularity. The mills are of modern design, being equipped with turbine drive, special feeding devices, efficient compound imbibitions systematic In the best milling practice More than 95% of the sugar in the cane goes into the juice, this percentage being called the sucrose extraction or more simply the extraction. A fibrous residue called bagasse with a low sucrose content is produced about 25 to 30% of cane, which contains 45 to 55% moisture.

2. Clarification: The dark green juice from the mills is acidic (pH 5.3 -5.4) &turbid, called raw juice or mixed

juice. The mixed juice after being heated to 68oC to 72oC is treated with phosphoric acid, sulphur dioxide &milk of lime for removal of impurities in suspension in a continuously working apparatus. The treated juice on boiling fed to continuous clarifier from which the clear juice is decanted while these settled impurities known as mud dissent to the field as fertilizer. The clear juice goes to the evaporators without further treatment

3. Evaporation The clarified juice contains about 85% water. About 75% of this water is evaporated in vacuum multiple effects consisting of a succeeding (generally five) of vacuum boiling cells arranged in series so that each succeeding body has higher vacuum. The vapours from the final body go to condenser. The syrup leaves the last body continuously with about 65% solids &35% water.

4. Crystallization The syrup is again treated with sulphurdioxide before being sent to the pan station for crystallization of sugar. Crystallization takes place in single-effect vacuum pans, where the syrup is evaporated until saturated with sugar. At this point ‘seedgrain’ is added to serve as a nucleus for the sugar crystals &more syrup is added as water evaporates. The growth of the crystals continues until the pan is full. Given as killed sugar boiler (or adequate instrumentation) the original crystals can be grown without the formation of additional crystals, so that when the pan is just full, the crystals are all of desired size &the crystal &syrup form a dense mass known as ‘massecuite’. The ‘strike’ is then discharged through a foot valve into a crystallizer.

5. Centrifugation The massecuite from crystallizer is drawn into revolving machines called centrifuges. The perforated lining retains the sugar crystals, which may be washed with water if desired. The mother liquor ‘molasses’ passes through the lining because of the centrifugal force exerted &


15

after the sugar is ‘Purged’ it is cutdown leaving the centrifuge ready for another charge of massecuite. Continuous centrifuges may purge low grades. The mother liquor separated from commercial sugar is again sent to pan for boiling and re-crystallization. Three stages of recrystallization are adopted to ensure maximum recovery of sugar in crystal form. The final molasses is sent out the factory as waste by product unsuitable for recovery of sugar under commercial condition from economical point of view.

It may be noted that the expansion will be achieved adding the following equipment/machinery :–

• Stabilization of crush rate by addition of one new mill with Tandum

• Boilers and Turbine

• Boiling House

• Pollution Control Devices like ETP, ESP, etc.

B) DMP Process ( Defco melt phosphotation with ion exchange)

• The ion exchange process in the refinery is a continuous process where by sugar liquor is passed through a resin bed & colour is trapped within the bed. However a bed of resin becomes saturated with colour after some time. At this time the current bed in production is terminated & a new bed is brought on line. The saturated bed must be regenerated.

• The liquor needs sufficient contact time with the resin for effective colour removal. Flow rate in relation to the amount of resin present is important.

• The lead resin bed obviously always takes the major colour impact. The trail bed always takes a lighter load.

• The beds are then washed with water to remove any traces of the caustic brine.

• The bed is sweetened on again in preparation for the next production run.

C) Co-generation Power Plant- DSCL Sugar-Hariawan proposes to expand the current 24 MW co-generation bagasse plant to 70 MW, the peculiarities of manufacturing process are as follows:

This is a simple three step process namely Water preparation, Steam Generation and Power Generation. The standard flow–sheet as will be adopted can be given as:


16

Fig: 7 Co-generation power plant

The steam turbine operates on basic principles of thermodynamics. After leaving the boiler, superheated vapour enters the turbine at high temperature and high pressure. The high heat/pressure steam is converted into kinetic energy using a nozzle (a fixed nozzle in an impulse type turbine or the fixed blades in a reaction type turbine). Once the steam has left the nozzle it is moving at high velocity and is sent to the blades of the turbine. A force is created on the blades due to the pressure of the vapour on the blades causing them to move. A generator or other such device can be placed on the shaft, and the energy that was in the vapour can now be stored and used. The gas exits the turbine as a saturated vapour at a lower temperature and pressure than it entered with and is sent to the condenser to be cooled(During off season) . During Crushing season after de-superheating the exit steam from Power Turbine is sent to evaporator to evaporate juice and its condensate return to boiler.

Its north border touches Shahjahanpur & LakhimpurKheri Districts. Lucknow and Unnao are Situated at south border, West Borders touches Kanpur &Farrukhabad and on eastern border Gomti river separates the district from Sitapur.DistrictHardoi comprises of 5 tehsils (Hardoi, Shahabad, Bilgram, Sandila&Sawayajpur), 19 blocks, 191 Nyay, Panchayat, 1101 Gram Sabha & 1901 habited revenue villages. It also has 7 Nagar PalikaParishads& 6 Nagar Panchayats. Geographical area is 5947 sq. km. As per census 2011, Population of the district is 4091380, out of which Female are 1887116 & Male are 2204264


21

b) Location & Geographical Area

Hardoi district from geographical point of view its falls in between 26053‟ & 27042‟ N North latitude and from 80007‟E & 80012‟E longitudes. The district is situated in Lucknow Division. Hardoi district is contiguous of Shahjahanpur and LakhimpurKheri districts on the north , Lucknow and Unnao districts on the sourth, Kanpur and Farrukhabad districts on the west and Sitapur district on the east. Hardoi is located at 110 km. from Lucknow (Capital of Uttar Pradesh) and 394 from New Delhi (Capital of India). The total geographical area of the district is 5947 km2

c) Topography

It has an average elevation of Template: Covert. The record height is 500 ft. Hardoi district had 5 Km2 of dense forest and 13 km2 of open forest. The Ganga, Ramganga, Gomti and several tributaries of river Ganga are flowing in the Hardoi district. Average rain in the district approximate 941 mm. General climate of the district is healthy and pleasant. The district stretches from North to South for 125 Km. and from east to west approximately 75 Km.

d) Hydrology

Hardoi district, in Uttar Pradesh, has agriculture as the predominant activity with many people depends on it. The main crops cultivated are paddy, sugarcane, wheat, vegetables, pulses, and oilseeds. The major cash crop of the district and surrounding area is sugarcane. The area has high availability of surface water with three major rivers flowing through the district viz. Ganga, Ramganga, and Garha. But over the last five years, it has witnessed a decline in rainfall which has impacted the groundwater levels, resulting in low yield of the various wells. This along with the limited surface water structures available has increased the cost of irrigation for the farmers and also resulted in a low productivity of the crops. Contrary to this there are also areas within the district with surplus water which also reduces the productivity of the crops due to water logging. The prevailing water scenario has notably impacted the livelihoods and businesses

e) Forest

About 11962.141 Hectare area is covered by the forest which is 6.1% of total geographical area of the District. The main trees found in the district are Sheesham, Kanji, Babool, Dhak, Mahua, Semal, Mango, Shaal, Neem, Jamun etc. Although tree cutting is prohibited however dead and fallen trees are collected by the forest department which are auctioned time to time.
