M/s JSW Cement Limited (JSW) proposes to setup a 1.2 MTPA

capacity Grinding Unit at SIPCOT, Tuticorin in Tamilnadu. JSW
wishes to produce GGBS/PSC/PPC/OPC based on market demand.

Plant will have a VRM of 1.20 MTPA capacity.

The plant will be located in an area of 40 acres in SIPCOT

Industrial Estate

The principal raw materials are Clinker, Slag, Gypsum and ash. The
major raw material, Clinker will be met from Cement plants of JSW.

Water requirement of the plant is 500 m 3/day and will be met from
SIPCOT supply

No solid waste generation from the plant.

No process wastewater generation

There is no wild life sanctuary, national park, eco-sensitive area

within the 10 km radius of the project site.

Infrastructure include railway siding , roads, storm water drains with

adequate storage space for clinker and flyash and parking area will be
developed.

Greenbelt will be developed in about 13.2 acres

Power requirement will be supplied by SIPCOT

Total capital Investment Cost is Rs 239 crores

Various sensitivity analysis indicate reasonable project and cash

break- even percentages. In view of the acceptable level of returns, the
project is financially feasible.

2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND

INFORMATION

(I) IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT AND PROJECT PROPONENT

O. P. Jindal Group is the Principal / Promoter shareholder in JSW

CEMENT LIMITED, an Indian based registered company, in Mumbai.

JSW has an integrated cement manufacturing plant in Nandyal, A.P,

and India. The group has two cement grinding units in Vijayanagar,
adjacent to JSW steel plant near Bellary, Karnataka and in Dolvi,
Maharashtra.

The Units have a combined capacity of 6 Million Tons Per Annum

(MTPA). JSW Cement is leading the way in promoting PSC variant of
cement in India. Portland Slag Cement (PSC) also known as green
cement as it generates least amount of CO2 during production and also
generates least heat during concreting.

PSC (Portland Slag Cement) produced by JSW Cement, can be used as

replacement to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) during concreting and
is being widely used in the coastal cities. PSC can replace OPC in use
which also makes economic sense for the RMC manufactures.

(II) NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE

COUNTRY AND OR REGION

It is expected that, the Cement demand will grow at much higher rate
than the national average. The bulk distribution of cement in the
region is likely to see a high growth due to a number of new Ready
Mix concrete plants and projects. Considering this, JSW proposes to
setup Cement grinding unit capacity of 1.2 MTPA.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE INDUSTRY

Though India ranks second in the world in cement production, its per
capita annual consumption is very low. Per capita consumption in
India has grown from a low level of 70 kg to around 110 kg over the
last 8 years, which is still way behind the world per capita
consumption of 307 kg (as of 2003). Cement Industry has growth
potential not only within the country but also for exports to the
neighboring countries. With Indian growth rate rising, the
opportunities for the industry seem to be large.

Cement consumption in the coming years is likely to get a fillip from

Government initiatives for housing and infrastructure:

• State highway development projects being undertaken by some

States
• 10,000 km of additional highways (25% concrete)
• Rural roads construction
• Housing finance growing by over 25-30% annually
• IT parks and SEZ zones development in proximity to metros
(III) DEMAND- SUPPLY GAP

MARKET DEMAND AND PROJECTIONS

Cement growth is expected to be above the GDP growth of the

country, which is expected to be around 8% for the coming years. The
Indian cement Industry is poised for a period of significant growth and
the demand for cement is expected to match the current availability
by the end of the current fiscal. Cement demand has registered a
CAGR of about 8.5% over the last decade. In fact, at the current levels
of growth, the cement industry may have to add over 90 Million Tons
of cement capacity to meet the demand for cement over the next 5
years.
Cement companies were operating at levels below capacity in the past
but with the demand and supply reaching equilibrium, almost all
plants are working at above 90% capacity. The rate of growth in
cement demand is growing at a faster pace as compared to the
capacity expansion. This will improve the realizations of the industry
in the coming year.

(IV) IMPORTS Vs INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION

India is self sufficient to meet the demands of the market with the GDP
projected at 10 % in the coming decades and in view of the
infrastructure. Facilities going across the region the growth rate of
demand will increase to meet the expansion of new proposal are
muted.

(V) EXPORT POSSIBILITY

The proposed production of 1.2 MTPA is required for the local

demand and the possibility of export is not there

(VI) DOMESTIC/EXPORT MARKETS

The entire production is envisaged for the domestic market.

(VII) EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT AND INDIRECT) DUE

TO THE PROJECT

JSW will provide employment opportunity for about 185 persons in

this project.

Press Mill through weigh feeder in definite proportion to produce OPC
which is stored in silo. Similarly, slag is also fed to slag hoppers and
subsequently to Slag Mill for fine grinding to produce GGBS.

The Roller Press Mill consists of Rollers to grind the Clinker, Gypsum
for OPC and Clinker, Gypsum and Fly ash for PPC. PSC is produced
by blending GGBS with OPC in fixed proportion in the Paddle Mixer
(Blenders) The fly-ash as extracted from ESP hoppers of Thermal
Power Plants is classified & the fine fly ash will be transported to
Grinding Unit by Tankers. The fly ash is stored in the compartment
silo and is fed to the VRM through pneumatic pumping. The mix of
fine clinker, gypsum and fly ash is from Roller Press Mill to the
separator and to the Bag house where a particular fineness of mix of
clinker, gypsum and fly ash called Portland Pozzolana Cement is
separated and is then fed to Cement Silo by means of air-slides, belt
conveyors and bucket elevator. Similarly for the production of
Oridinary Portland cement Clinker and Gypsum will be ground in the
required proportions. In case of PSC/ GGBFS, the dry slag will be
ground and stored in silos. In the Cement Silo the cement is
homogenised by fluidisation method (for blending) and then extracted
through specific equipment installed and fed to Electronic Roto-
Packing Machine for packing in bags. After packing in bags in the
packer machines the cement bags are transported by means of belt
conveyor and loaded in Railway Wagons/Trucks by automatic
Wagon/Truck Loading machines for onward dispatch to the customer.

location to this market is an advantage with respect reduction in
freight of cement to these markets. The project is environmental
friendly as it is using thermal power waste. Considering the above,
JSW is planning to go ahead with the project, once it gets all the
statutory approval
