1. Identification of project and project proponent

M/s. Narmada Sugar Private Limited (NSPL) is one of the pioneering sugar
factories of Madhya Pradesh and is in its 10th year of operation. NSPL received
its memorandum for manufacturing of vacuum pan sugar and molasses along
with other sugarcane by products from the Ministry of Commerce & Industry in
April 2005.. The factory started its crushing operations in the year of 2006-07.
The licensed crushing capacity of the plant is 4000 tonnes per day.
The Maheshwari group has initially set up its line of business activities in year
1977 from its native place Thaini, Bankhedi, Distt Hoshangabad, M.P. with its
flagship Company M/s Ramdev Sugar Pvt. Ltd., which was into manufacturing
of khandsari sugar under kind guidance and hard dedication of Shri Navneet
Lal Ji Maheshwari. With a clear vision in mind for expansion and
diversification, Shri Navneet Lal Ji Maheshwari with his brothers & sons has
worked hard with clear strategy and planned operations to grow their family
business with a streamlined pace. Being a joint family, all the family members
had put on their efforts to match up with the demand of time for achievement
of targets for the group.

2. 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
 M/s Narmada Sugar Pvt Ltd.

will be designed for average crushing rate of 4000 TCD (227.27 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 co-
generation 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.
