2.2 Need for the project and its importance to region.

Industrialization in India is increasing at rapid pace and is leading to growth and expansion of various industries like
Pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals etc. Alkyl Amines Chemicals Limited is a global supplier of amines and amine-based
chemicals to the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, rubber chemicals & water treatment industries, among others. M/s
AACL aims to expand its horizons further in India and abroad to cater the need of customers world-wide. Proposed
Product mix is expected to reduce import substantially there by ensuring easy and local availability of the new
product.

2.3 Demand Supply Gap

Proposed Product Mix aims to fill-up the demand supply gap based on internal Market survey. Existing domestic
market for Alkanolamines is estimated to be 120,000 MT/Y with imports of about 45000 MT/Y. It is observed that
domestic supply falls short of demand by 35%. Alkyl Amines desires to tap this opportunity to take care of Local as
well as Export Market.

Currently there is only two major manufacturer of Choline Chloride in India. The poultry market in India is growing
in double digits and hence the market for the poultry feed too is growing rapidly. In order to fulfil this rapidly
increasing demand new additional capacity is needed.

2.3.1 Global Market

Global market for Choline Chloride is expected to be 80,000 MT/Y whereas that for Alkanolamines is 300,000 MT/Y.
Similarly Global demand for Dibutyl ethanolamine and Di-isopropyl ethanolamine is between 800 to 1500 MT/Y.

2.3.2 Domestic Market

The existing domestic market for Alkanolamines is estimated at about 120,000 MT/Y with imports of 45,000 MT
and the rest of the demand catered to through domestic production. Similarly for Choline Chloride the existing
domestic market is estimated at about 25,000 MT/annum with almost entire demand catered to through domestic
production. Augmentation in the domestic production capacity will provide substitute the imports. This demand is
likely to witness steady growth.

2.3.3 Import vs. Indigenous Production

For product like Alkanolamine local requirement does not meet the indigenous production and hence import to the
tune of 45000 MT/Y becomes essential. For Choline chloride, almost all the requirement is catered to through
domestic manufacturing.

2.4 Export Possibility

An export potential of Alkanolamines is estimated at around 3,500 MT/Y. These is a substantial export potential of
Choline Chloride in a rapidly increasing global market. Certain exported orientated products like Dibutyl
Ethanolamine have Export market potential in the range of 1500 to 2000 MT/Y.

3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

3.1 Type of Project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any

3.1.1 Type of Project

The proposed project is for Amendment in existing EC for expansion of Amines, Amine Derivatives & Acetonitrile
plants that is covered under Category – 5 (f) “B” as per new EIA notification vide gazette no. S.O. 1533 dated 14th
September 2006.

3.1.2 Interlinked & Interdependent Project

There is no project interlinked or interdependent with the proposed project.

3.2 Location (map showing general location, specific location and project boundary & project
lay out) with coordinates
The proposed facility is located at Dahej, GIDC. Existing plot area is 98680.64 m2 and additional 37500m2 of new
land is purchased for the proposed expansion. Hence after expansion total plot area of the unit will be 1,36,180 m2.
Location map of the proposed site is attached as Figure 3-1. Site location on Google image is attached as Figure
3-2. Site layout map of proposed project is given as Figure 3-3.

4 SITE ANALYSIS

4.1 Connectivity

Most of the industries in Dahej area located in GIDC Industrial area 1 & 2. The study area is well connected by
roads to Bharuch. All the areas in the study area linked either by 4 lane roads.

Two nearest railway station are available from the proposed site.

1. Dahej railway station is located at an aerial distance of 6.47 km in SW.

2. Bharuch railway station is located at an aerial distance of 37 km in E.

4.2 Land Form, Land Use and Land ownership

The total plot area of the unit is 136200m2. As the project is located in notified industrial estate, the landuse of the
project site is industrial.

4.3 Topography (along with map)

The project site generally flat with average level difference 2.0 m. there are isolated pockets of 1.0 m – 2.0 m
above or below the average ground well.

4.4 Existing land use pattern (agriculture, non-agriculture, forest, water bodies (including area
under CRZ)), shortest distances from the periphery of the project to periphery of the
forests, national park, wild life sanctuary, etc sensitive areas, water bodies (distance from
the HFL of the river), CRZ. In case of notified industrial area, a copy of the Gazette
notification should be given.

 Existing Land use pattern: Industrial

 Distance of Project site from Water Bodies are given in Table 4-1.

4.7 Climatic data from secondary sources

The general agro-climatic zone of the study area is Semi-Arid.

Information presented in subsequent paragraphs is from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), Long Term
Climatological Tables, 1981-2010, Surat. These tables give useful information about a region’s weather, since they
are collected over a 30-year period.

4.7.1 Temperature

 Mean daily maximum temperature is recorded in the month of April at 36.7°C.

 January is generally the coldest month, with a minimum temperature of 15.2 °C.
 During the post-monsoon months of October and November, day temperatures remain between 18.9 - 23.2 ºC.
In winters, i.e. December, January and February, average day temperatures remain between 14.3- 15.6 ºC.

4.7.3 Rainfall

The total rainfall in year is observed to be 1202.8 mm. Distribution of rainfall by season is 2.4 mm in winter
(December, January, February), 4.5 mm in summer (March, April, May), 1147.1 mm in monsoons (June, July,
August, September) and 49.5mm in post-monsoons (October, November, December).

4.7.4 Cloud Cover

The area remains cloudy between July-August, which is the active period of the monsoon season. Generally cloud
cover ranges up-to 6-7 OKTAS during this monsoon season. During post-monsoon season, cloud cover almost
becomes 0 OKTAS. In the summer season cloud cover is predominantly 0 OKTAS occasionally going to 3-5 OKTAS.

4.7.5 Humidity

Most humid conditions are found in the monsoons, followed by summer, post-monsoons, and winter in that order.
Mornings are more humid than evenings and humidity ranges from a high of 78-86% in monsoon mornings to a
low of 34-43% in winter evenings. During post-monsoon season, in morning humidity remains between 65-73 %
and in the evening it remains between 43-52%.

5 PLANNING BRIEF

5.1 Planning Concept (Type of industries, facilities, transportation etc) Town and Country
Planning /Development authority Classification:

 AACL has selected GIDC Dahej for its expansion based on merit. i.e. available infrastructure, communication
networks, close proximity of raw materials and finished goods etc.
 A technology center was set up in Pune in the year 2002 which houses the R&D group (25 Scientist), the scale
up group (5 to 7 engineers) and the implementation group (5 to 7 engineers). This center implemented all the
projects and would also be executing the proposed expansion at Dahej.
 AACL may engage detailed engineering consultant and various contractors for construction and erection.
