Brief Summary of the project (Amendment in EC)

Reference for Modernization-cum-Expansion M/s. Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP), Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) proposes for amendments in Environmental

Clearance accorded vide lr.no. J-11011/28/2007-IA II (I) dated 31.03.2008 for modernization cum expansion of 4.0 MTPA to 7.0 MTPA Modernization-Cum-Expansion Plan of Bhilai Steel Plant along with captive power plant. BSP is presently based on Blast Furnace-Twin Hearth Furnace (BF-THF) and BF- Basic Oxygen Furnace (BF-BOF) routes for production of iron and steel. Under the ongoing modernization-cum-expansion plan the crude steel production capacity is envisaged to be 7.0 MTPA within the existing premises of BSP.

Reasons for Amendments The present project was accorded environmental clearance for 4.0 MTPA to 7.0 MTPA Modernization-Cum-

Expansion Plan of Bhilai Steel Plant along with captive power plant vide lr.no. J-11011/28/2007-IA II (I) dated 31.03.2008 with amendments dated 23.06.2011 and 23.07.2014. The EC validity was extended up to 30.03.2018 by MoEFCC vide letter dtd 05.07.2013. Consent to Establish was accorded by Chhattisgarh Environment Conservation Board (CECB) vide lr. no. 12981/TS/CECB/2009 dated 01.06.2009. The targeted Crude steel production capacity of the Integrated Steel Plant is 7.0 million TPA. The ore transportation will be done through Indian Railways (95-97%) and Roads (3-5%). During execution of the project after detailed design engineering certain changes are envisaged in the configuration of the plant from the Environmental Clearance conditions, without any change in crude steel production. Further, certain changes in the product mix are envisaged without any change in finished steel production capacity. Moreover, there will be a decrease in overall pollution load from that envisaged during the EC 2008. Amendment Requested The proposed amendments are as follows:

The hot metal, crude steel and finished steel production will be same as envisaged in EC 2008, i.e 7.5 MTPA, 7.0 MTPA and 6.3 MTPA, respectively.

This is in continuation of this Ministry's letter of even no. dated 31.03.2008 andsubsequent communications dated 23.03.2011 and 28.05.2011 informing the Ministry towithdraw 2x125A TPD Oxygen Plant from the list of units for rrrlhich environmental clearancewas accorded vide Ministry's letter of even no. dated 31.03.2008.

2. The proposal for amendment of environmental clearance was placed before theExpertAppraisal Committee-1 (lndustry) in its 24th meeting held during 19t6 - 20th May,2A1i.The Committee noted that as per the BOO contract for installation of 2x1250 TPD 02 plant,the responsibility to get statuary approvals lie with Mls PRRXnIR lndia Limited. The land forthe installation of the Oz plant has been leased to M/s PRAXAIR lndia Limited with in theboundary of the steel plant. The Committee decided that M/s SAIL would withdraw theOxygen Plant from the list of units mentioned in the environmental clearance of even no.dated 31.03.2008 and take measures for risk management due to the Oxygen Plant.

3. ln view of the above, the Ministry's has taken note of your request vide letter no.DGM(EnMD)|B-101111409 dated 20.05.2011 regarding withdrawal of Oxygen Plant from thelist of units as mentioned in the Environmental clearance accorded on 31't March, 2008.

Ref. : (i) Ministry's EC letter of even no. dated 31.9.2009(ii) Your letter no. No. B,-101131189 dated 2.3.ZO1Z

Sir,This is in continuation of this Ministry's letter referred above and your letter under

reference, wherein you have requested for extension of validity of the aforesaidEnvironmental Clearance (EC).

2. The above proposal was placed before the Reconstituted Expert AppraisalCommittee (lndustry) in its 8th meeting held during 16-171h May, 2013. lt was noted that theproposed project could not be established within validity period of the granted EnvironmentalClearance marnly because of:-

i. Major packages of the Modernisation-cum-expansion projects were either retenderedor time extension has been provided due to higher price bid or technology consortiumissues.

ii. The modernisation of plant involves relocation of some of the existing units suitably.iii' The project is integrated in nature and various packages are intertint<ed. itreprogress of packages depends on upstream and downstream progress of otherpackages also. Contractors/ suppliers of some of these packages could not achievethe desired progress causing time over run in other packages.

3. After taking into consideration the aforesaid facts, the committee recommended forthe extension of validity of EC by a period of five years with effect from 30.3.2013 subject toenvironmental safeguards.

4. The Ministry accepts the recommendation of the REAC (lndustry) and extends thevalidity of the Environmental Clearance letter no. J-1101112812007 - tA ll (l) dated 31.3.2008
