2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION

(i) Identification of Project and Project Proponent

Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Ltd. (DCBL) is one of the leading

cement producers of India. It was founded in 1935 by Shri

Jaidayal Dalmia. First Cement Plant of DCBL was

established in 1939 at Dalmiapuram, Tamil Nadu, thus

enjoying a heritage of over 80 Years of expertise and

experience.

The DCBL currently has cement plants in Tamil Nadu

(Dalmiapuram & Ariyalur), Andhra Pradesh (Kadapa),

Meghalaya (Thangskai) Karnataka (Belgaum), Jharkhand

(Bokaro), Assam (Umrangso& Lanka), Odisha

(Rajgangpur & Kapilas), Bihar (Kalyanpur) and West

Bengal (Medinipur). DCBL now controls a cement

capacity of about 26 Million Tonnes & has a strong

presence in Southern, Eastern & North-East Regions of

the Country.

Dalmia is a multi-spectrum Cement player and a pioneer in

super specialty cements used for Oil wells, Railway sleepers

and Airstrips. Dalmia Cement was among the first to adopt

and incrementally raise the bar on green production norms.





In 1974, Dalmia revolutionized the railways by pioneering the use of cement sleepers instead of

wooden sleepers.

DCBL prides itself on having been at the forefront of pioneering and introducing many new

technologies, which exist today, and are followed by others in the industry which improves the

quality and quantity of products and reduces the pollution load. DCBL has been and continues to

be an industry leader in the niche market segments.

The Group, guided with its vision statement, has initiated commendable actions in order to

achieve its objectives.

Vision Statement

“To be a Leader in Building Materials that evokes Pride in all stakeholders through Customer

Centricity, Innovation, Sustainability & our Values.”

DCBL has established a number of objectives and targets on concerns at global and regional levels

around which it focuses its programmes, delivery and evaluates its performance. Additionally,

Dalmia Cement is actively involved with other global and domestic task forces on sustainable

development. Some of the initiatives are listed hereunder: -

DCBL is a member of CSI (Cement Sustainability Initiative, under the aegis

of the WBCSD, Geneva). Consequently, it is bound by the CSI's Charter on

Sustainability. We adhere to the exacting and very comprehensive

standards of the CSI.

DCBL is the first company in the cement sector to achieve GREENPRO

certification for Portland Pozzolana Cement from CII.

DCBL is in partnership with Global Alliance “EP 100” for energy

productivity. DCBL committed to double their energy productivity by 2030

from a baseline year of 2010-11.

DCBL is also in partnership with CDP “RE 100” for shift towards renewable

energy commitment.

The company’s CEO represented India at High Level Signing Ceremony of Paris Agreement on

Climate Change. He was special invitee of Secretary –General of United Nations.

Alternative raw materials use has increased from about 1 Mt in the 2013 Fiscal Year to 6Mt in the FY

2018.

Our specific electricity consumption is about 70kWh/t of cement, compared to the global average

of 104kWh/t.





Over the past five years, efforts of DCBL have avoided over 17.6Mt of CO2 emissions

Dalmia Cement has been ranked No.1 globally by COP with respect to business readiness for the

transition to a low CO2 economy.

Dalmia Cement has been ranked No.1 globally by COP

with respect to business readiness for the transition to

a low CO2 economy.

Dalmia achieved lowest carbon footprint in comparison

of global average and Indian average. Today carbon

footprint of DCBL is 40% lower than the global average

for a cement company.

DCBL focus on material and resource efficiency. DCBL produces high-blended cements with the

best available technology and by using various industrial waste products. This helped to conserve

mineral resources like limestone and other raw materials.

To insulate Dalmia group from physical risks of climate change, Dalmia took a challenge in 2014 to

become a water positive cement group. By 2017, Dalmia had become 2.5 times water-positive.

Motivated by this, group now aims to be five times water positive by 2020. Dalmia are also

working on development of bird habitats for biodiversity conservation.

Dalmia now seek to be carbon negative by 2040. To meet the scale of this challenge, a number of

approaches are being explored, including: switching to 100% green fuels, including biofuels,

biogas, compressed bio gas (CBG) and biomass; green power generation; reducing our clinker

factor in incremental stages and optimizing clinker heat consumption; switching over to solar

drying for relevant raw materials; developing a new range of low-carbon cements; carbon

capture and utilization (CCU) technology; and carbon sequestration.

The initiatives of Dalmia, at various locations, have also been appraised at various forum and

awarded recognitions. Some of them are mentioned hereunder: -

As per EIA Notification dated 14th Sept., 2006 & as amended from time to time; this project falls

under S. No. 3 (Material Production), Category - ‘A’, Project Activity ‘3 (b)’ Cement Plants.

(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region

With nearly 450 Million Tonnes (MT) of cement production capacity, India is the second largest

cement producer in the world and accounts for 6.9 per cent of worlds cement output.

No wonder, India's cement industry is a vital part of its economy, providing employment to more

than a million people, directly or indirectly. Ever since it was deregulated in 1982, the Indian

cement industry has attracted huge investments, both from Indian as well as foreign investors.

India has a lot of potential for development in the infrastructure and construction sector and the

cement sector is expected to largely benefit from it. Some of the recent major government

initiatives such as development of 98 smart cities are expected to provide a major boost to the

sector.

Also, a significant factor which aids the growth of this sector is the ready availability of the raw

materials for making cement, such as limestone and coal.

The housing sector is the biggest demand driver of cement, accounting for about 67% of the total

consumption in India. The other major consumers of cement include infrastructure at 13%,

commercial construction at 11% and industrial construction at 9%.

There is a capacity addition of 109 MTPA between 2013-16. Cement Industry is expected to grow at

8-10 percent CAGR between FY17 - FY20. The industry is currently producing 335 MT for meetings

its domestic demand and 2 MT for exports requirement. The country's per capita consumption

stands at around 250 kg.

Due to the increasing demand in various sectors such as housing, commercial construction and

industrial construction, cement industry is expected to reach 550-600 Million Tonnes Per Annum

(MTPA) by the year 2025.

(iv) Demand- Supply Gap

India's cement demand is expected to reach 550-600 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) by 2025.

Cement prices in most southern states have improved by Rs 10-30/50 kg bag in March compared

to February. Companies will benefit from higher realizations but this may not last long, as capacity





additions will lead to higher supply. Demand scenario in the southern region has grown by 20%

over FY- 18. On the demand front, Southern India is poised to witness a sizeable spurt in demand,

mainly aided by the Housing and infrastructure projects. The balance between demand and supply

will ultimately determine how prices behave. Given the evolving demand-supply situation, cement

prices could come under pressure and it is premature to conclude that the increase in cement

prices in eastern India is sustainable. The cement industry is a pioneer modern manufacturing

industry in Andhra Pradesh. After bifurcation of united Andhra Pradesh in Andhra Pradesh and

Telangana, huge development activities have been emerged out. A new capital city of Andhra

Pradesh at Amaravati is planned and designed like ultra-modern city of 21st century, where several

development activities are presently underway. Both private and governmental developmental

activities including construction of highways, roads, flyovers, bridges, building apartments and

townships are playing a key role in increasing demand of cement. Under these circumstances to

bridge the gap, M/s. Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Ltd. is proposing an expansion in Cement Plant.

(v) Imports vs. Indigenous Production

The proposed expansion project will utilize locally available raw material namely Limestone, Slag,

Iron ore, Bauxite, Chemical Gypsum, Fly Ash, Coal and Petcoke. However, Import will also be

required for the raw material coal and Petcoke.

(vi) Export Possibility

Currently, there are no export plans from the project. Major production will be consumed in the

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka. Export of finished product to neighbouring Countries

will depend upon opportunities available in future.

(vii) Domestic / Export Markets

Domestic market mainly includes Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

(viii) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project

The proposed expansion project will generate both direct & indirect employment. The company

has given preference to local people in employment and the same will be followed for proposed

expansion. Detail of existing manpower and potential employment for the proposed expansion

project is given in table below:

respective feed bins via weigh feeders and belt conveyor to the raw mill system.

Raw Meal Grinding Process - Raw Mill is being / will be used to grind the raw mix which is

capable to meet the production needs. The raw grinding section comprises of Mills, fans,

separators & cyclones as well as all ductwork and control dampers. The ground product from

raw mill is known as ‘Raw Meal’.

Raw Meal Transport and Storage - From the separator cyclones the raw meal is/ will be

transported via air slides and a bucket elevator to the homogenizing silo.

Homogenizing silo is/ will be prerequisite for raw meal blending to achieve consistent quality

of Kiln feed. This is/ will also ensure regulated feed with minimum variation in quality for

smooth operation of Kiln. A continuous blending silo of RCC construction of required capacity

will be used for the same. The silo capacity would be suitable for the required daily clinker

production.

Preheating, Calcination & Clinkerization

Raw Meal Transport to Kiln Feed - From the homogenizing silo the raw meal is being / will be

extracted to the Kiln feed bin below the silo.

Kiln Feed - From the Kiln feed bin the material is being / will be transported through

mechanical conveyors with measurement and control of kiln feed rate.

Pre-heating - The pre-heating equipment is / will be comprised of the multi stage cyclone

system connected with gas ducts and meal chutes, the down comer duct and the ID fan. In

cyclone pre-heater system, an efficient heat transfer takes place to finally disperse the raw

material particles, when they come in contact with hot gases from kiln.

The raw meal, which is fed into the top stage gas duct, is carried by hot gas steam into

cyclone. The material gets separated from gas in cyclones and then travels downwards and

through meal chute is discharged into next lower stage gas duct. In this way, material comes





into contact with high temperature gases and gets pre-heated and partially calcined and then

enters the pre-calcinator.

The calciner is / will provide sufficient residence time for efficient combustion of not only

conventional coal but also for Petcoke and other alternate fuels which are difficult to handle.

The calciner will be equipped with multi firing points for the above said requirements.

The preheater is / will be equipped with induced draught fan for ensuring counter current

heat transfer from the kiln through the calciner& the series of cyclones.

The exit hot gas from the preheater is being / will be utilized for Waste Heat Power recovery

system and drying of raw material in Raw Mill & drying of coal / Petcoke in Coal Mill and for

Clinker / slag grinding with/without fly ash/gypsum for Cement production.

Pre-calcining and Kiln - These groups consist of an in-line low NO2 pre-calciner, tertiary air duct

from the kiln hood and a rotary kiln.

In the pre-calcinator, further Calcination takes place by firing pulverized coal/pet coke to

provide the necessary heat in the kiln and the Pre-calciner located at the bottom of the pre-

heater. Calcined material from bottom stage cyclone is fed to the kiln. The feed travels down

as the kiln rotates. The complete chemical reaction takes place when the material reaches the

burning zone and cement clinker is formed.

Clinker Cooler

This equipment recuperates heat from hot clinker, which reduces the consumption of fossil fuel

and other fuels required for cement clinker making. It is a spillage-free and high efficiency third

generation clinker cooler with roller crusher, ESP (electrostatic precipitator) including fan and

stack, WHRS (Waste Heat Recovery System) for cooling clinker to 65 degree Centigrade plus

ambient. Hot clinker discharged from the Kiln drops on the grate cooler and gets cooled.

Clinker Transport and Storage

The clinker leaving the clinker cooler and crusher is being / will be transported with deep

pan/bucket conveyor to the main clinker silo of designed capacity.

Clinker Loading for dispatched to GU: Wagon loading hoppers located on the broad-gauge line

through a set of deep pan conveyors followed by set of HR belt conveyors. The basic BG rail open

wagon loading system consists of 2 nos. RCC hoppers with 3 nos. loading spouts underneath each

hopper. Each hopper caters to 1 wagon at a time and 2 wagons can be loaded simultaneously.

Cement Grinding, Storage, Packing & Dispatch

Cement Grinding & Storage - Clinker and gypsum with fly ash & Slag and mineral components

according to requirement are extracted from their respective hoppers and fed to the Cement Mill.

Cement Mill grind the feed to a fine powder and the cement, so provided is being / will be

transported to RCC Cement Silos for dispatch.

Cement Packing & Dispatch - Cement extracted from cement silos is / will be packed in bags by

rotary packing machines and dispatched to consumers by road/ rail.

Waste Heat Recovery Boiler

M/s. Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Ltd. is proposing an installation of 15 MW Waste Heat Recovery

System (WHRS) along with new Line - II for re-utilization of the exhaust gases from the Pre-heater/

Cooler to generate electric power and consequently reduce consumption of grid power through

fossil fuel. The project will contribute to the more efficient use of energy and will reduce reliance

on exhaustible fossil fuel. WHRS of 12 MW capacity is under implementation phase. Thus, the total

capacity of WHRS after expansion will be 27 MW.

PH boiler will be a vertical configuration single drum boiler. AQC boiler will be vertical single drum

boiler. Both the boilers are top supported, outdoor Unit suitable for the specified Pre-heater and

clinker Cooler exhaust of cement plant.

The Waste Heat coming out of Pre-heater and cooler from present kilns and proposed kiln will be

used in Waste Heat Recovery Boiler to produce low pressure steam which is fed to turbine to

produce power of 15 MW. WHR boiler will be based on steam ranking cycle and envisaging

recovery of heat from exhaust gases at two points viz. pre-heater and clinker cooler (tapping at

exhaust or mid-cooler). Steam generated in the boiler will be used in the turbine to generate

electricity in the generator. Process flow chart is shown in Figure - 5.

Solar Power Plant

DCBL has evaluated suitability of multiple commercially established solar PV technologies for the

proposed site location. The techno-commercial evaluation was based on the benefits any

technology can probably offer for the project lifecycle of 25 years. As a result, DCBL opts for

installing 12 MW solar PV project with tandem junction Solar PV technology. The module mounting

structure shall be designed for seasonal tilt facing duly south.

The array of a photovoltaic power system, or PV system, produces direct current (DC) power

which fluctuates with the sunlight's intensity. For practical use this usually requires conversion to

certain desired voltages or alternating current (AC), through the use of inverters. Multiple solar

cells are connected inside modules. Modules are wired together to form arrays, then tied to an

inverter, which produces power at the desired voltage, and for AC, the desired frequency/phase.
