valid till 28.02.2018
2.4 Export Possibility 70 % - 80 % of the products manufactured, specifically, Esters will be for Export’s to Major Global Flavor Houses. Internationally the Flavor market is more developed and advanced and so is the demand. India can compete with the Global manufacturers mainly from Europe and China for these products.
2.5 Domestic / Export Markets Plasticizers:
In view of the economic growth of India being projected at 7% to 7.5% PA, the domestic
demand for Consumer & Industrial Products viz. All Plastic Products, Vinyl Products,
Medical & Surgical Aids, etc. is increasing. We foresee a surge in the demand of close to 12%
- 15% annually of such products. This demand translates to an increase in the consumption
of Plasticizers in all these segments of Industry.
In the International Market, the consumption of such Plasticizers is projected to grow at of
10% - 12% annually as Plastics are replacing traditional metals across the Consumer &
Industrial goods spectrum. In India, we have the advantage of availability of local Raw
Materials, skilled labour & technology to compete with the best in the world.

Esters:
India is a major importer of these products except for few manufacturers who may or may not be manufacturing these products in small volumes mainly due to the stricter norms of Obtaining Licenses for Ethyl Alcohol. We will be manufacturing the entire range of esters and cater to all the domestic customers and discourage customers to import these materials from China. The Domestic Market is around 20 % to 30% and Export market around 70% to 80%. Over a period of time we would try to capture 45 % to 50 % of the market share.
Distilled Solvents:
India is emerging on the world map as a major producer of High Value Chemicals & the
demand for Distilled Solvents is increasing by the day as these are used in the R & D Facilities
of all such Industrial Units. We plan to cater to the rising demand. Acceptance by MNCs in
India opens up the doors for us to venture into the International Market.
2.6 Employment Generation due to Project (Direct and indirect)
Once the project is fully operational we expect to create approx. 80 – 100 new job opportunities
for Technical, Clerical, and Skilled & Semi Skilled Labor.
With the expansion in capacities of our Plant, we would also be upgrading our Infrastructure
thereby creating a demand for Industrial Equipment & raw Materials. This will create a ripple
effect & help in employment generation at our suppliers’ side as well.

Chapter 4 Site Analysis
4.1 Connectivity:
This proposed expansion of Maharashtra Aldehydes and Chemicals limited shall be located at
Plot A-17, Mahad MIDC in Raigad district, Maharashtra. The Site is 7 km from Mahad.
The land and infrastructure is made available by MIDC and the raw material is easily available
through the easy transport via road connectivity.
4.2 Land form, Land use and Land ownership:
Land Form: Land is on plain contour, it is flat terrain.
Land Ownership: Land ownership is with project proponents (Maharashtra Aldehyde and
Chemicals limited)
4.3 Topography:
The district has three physiographic divisions i.e. (i) Coastal zone in west covers about 20% percent of the district (ii) Central zone covers about 1/3 rd of the district, consisting of fertile
land in low lying area (iii) Hilly zone in the eastern part highly uneven in altitude and covered with forest. This hill range is characterized by ruggedness and uneven topography, with crestline of peaks and saddles forming the eastern horizon. Ulhas, Panvel and Patalganga are the three main rivers in northern part. Kundalika River is the main river in central part whereas in the southern part Savitri River is the main river.
The soils in the district are formed from the Deccan Trap which is predominating rock formation with small out crops of Laterite at a few places in the Poladpur taluka and Matheran hill. The soils are grouped as Forest, Varkas, Rice, Khar or Saline, Coastal Alluvium and Laterite as per the location and topographical situation.

4.4 Existing land use pattern:
Industrial use
4.5 Existing Infrastructure:
Infrastructure is provided by additional Mahad MIDC.
4.6 Soil Classification:
SOILS:
The soils of the district are formed from the Deccan trap which is the predominating rock
formation of this district with small out-crops of laterite at a few places in the Poladpur taluka
and in the Matheran hills. Various types of these soils are marked out as per topographical
situation and location. They ' are generally grouped as forest, varkas, rice, khar or salt, coastal
alluvial and laterite soils.
Forest soils:
These soils are not used for agricultural purposes but yield valuable forest products such as
teak-wood, hirda (myrobalan), beheda, pepper, etc. However, these soils are heavily eroded
due to grazing and cutting of the forest trees.
Varkas soils:
These soils are located just below the forest soils all along the steeper slopes. They are shallow
in depth, which varies only between a foot and a foot and a half, heavily eroded and sandy in
texture and yellowish red to yellowish grey in colour with acidic reaction. They are poor in
organic matter and nitrogen and possess very little retentivity of moisture. They
yieldkharif millets but the production thereof could be increased with the addition of bulky
manures, lime and nitrogenous and phosphatic fertilisers.
Rice soils.
Pre-Feasibility Report Maharashtra Aldehydes and Chemicals limited, MIDC Mahad
17
The district is the second largest producer of rice in the Maharashtra State. The region is
peculiarly terraced and, though the small strips in between the two terraces are levelled, it is
difficult to get even a few gunthas of land in one piece in a levelled condition. The depth varies
between two and six feet. They are loamy in texture, yellowish or reddish grey in colour,
neutral in reaction and almost devoid of lime. They are formed from the trap rock from the
Sahyadri ranges under heavy rainfall and humid climatic conditions. The linear response of
rice to the application of nitrogenous, phosphatic and potassic fertilisers is observed in these
soils. Addition of bulky manures in these soils is also found to be advantageous from the point
of view of yield. There are some patches of manat soils in Mangaon taluka which are rich in
clay and silt and which become stiff and hard when dry.
Khar soils.
These soils are situated on the flat, levelled land near the sea at the point of creeks formed
due to the rivers. They are flat clay to clay loam in texture and reddish or yellowish grey in
colour. These soils contain hardly more than one per cent of soluble salts. These soils are
formed due to the deposition of salts by the sea or from lands reclaimed from the sea. Large
tracts of land are going out of cultivation due to the ingress of the sea and, in order to reclaim
these lands, the Government have formed the Khar Land Development Board which has
undertaken ambitious projects of the reclamation of khar lands.
Coastal alluvium soils.
These soils are found all along the coast and at places where there are no creeks. They are
deep soils developed on flat land and loamy in texture with reddish grey colour. They are
devoid of clay fraction or humus and are open in nature. The profile is difficult to differentiate
and is excessively drained. Calcium carbonate is found in abundance throughout the profile
but calcium has not entered the clay complex. The sub-soil water level is only from ten to
fifteen feet deep. The salt contents of the well water are higher in the proximity of the sea; but
due to excellent drainage, its use has not produced any deleterious effects. The soils are
almost neutral or slightly on the alkaline side of neutrality. Good garden crops like coconut,
areca-nut, plantain, etc., are grown in these soils, depending upon the availability of water.
Pre-Feasibility Report Maharashtra Aldehydes and Chemicals limited, MIDC Mahad

Laterite soils.
Out-crops of laterite rock are observed amongst the Sahyadri ranges amidst the trap rock mainly
at Matheran and in the Poladpur taluka. These soils mostly occur on the mountain peaks. They
are coarser in texture, wherever there are no forests. They are yellowish-red in colour and
shallow in depth and yield coarse millets and niger. The heavy rains in the mountainous regions
thoroughly leach the soils turning them acidic in reaction and devoid of calcium carbonate. They
are rich in sesquioxides, the ratio of silica to sesquioxides being less than two. But they are
generally poor in exchangeable bases or in fertility constituents. However, the soils from the
forest region are well-supplied with nitrogen and organic matter.
4.7 Climate data from secondary sources:
Climate:
Mahad comes in Raigad district of Maharashtra. The climate of this district is typical of that on
the west coast of India, with plentiful and regular seasonable rainfall, oppressive weather in the
hot months and high humidities throughout the year. The summer season from March to May is
followed by the south-west monsoon season from June to September. October and November
form the post-monsoon or the retreating monsoon season. The period from December to
February is the cold season.
Rainfall:
The district has a network of eleven rain gauge stations with records extending to 82 years
for most of the stations. The south-west monsoon commences by about the first week of June
and the rains continue till about the beginning of October. The average annual rainfall for the
district as a whole is 3,028.9 mm. (119.25"). The rainfall increases rapidly from the coast
Howards the Western Ghats on the eastern border of the district. In the coastal strip the
annual rainfall decreases from south to north. Uran and Alibag at the northern end of the coast
get annually 2,072.3 mm. (81.58") and 2,080.8 mm. (81.92") of rain, respectively, Matheran
gets as much as 5,167.5 mm. (203.45") of rain annually. Nearly 95 per cent, of the annual
rainfall is received during the south-west monsoon months, and the rainfall in October forms
the major portion of the rest. July is the month with the heaviest rainfall, the same being 38
per cent of the annual rainfall.
Temperature:

Being a coastal district the diurnal (daily) and seasonal variations of temperature are not
large. The period from March to May is one of increasing temperatures. May is the hottest
month with a mean daily maximum temperature at 31.7°C (89.1°F) and the mean daily
minimum temperature at 26.4°C (79.5°F). Fresh breezes from the sea relieve the oppressive
heat particularly in the coastal regions in the afternoons. The onset of the south-west
monsoon early in June brings down the temperatures slightly. After the withdrawal of the
south-west monsoon by the end of September the day temperatures increase slightly and the
weather in October and November is almost like the summer months. In the period from
December to February the weather is cooler than in the post-monsoon months.
Humidity:
The air is humid throughout the year. Relative humidity is on an average over 80 per cent
during the south-west monsoon season. In the rest of the year the relative humidity is
between 65 per cent and 75 per cent.
Cloudiness:
During the south-west monsoon season skies are heavily clouded to overcast. In May and
October the clouding is moderate. Clear or very lightly clouded skies are common in the rest
of the year.
Winds:
Winds are very strong and blow from west or south-west during monsoon season. During the
period from October to December winds are generally moderate but sometimes strong in
October and blow from directions between north-east and south-east. In the three months
from January to March the winds continue to be moderate and are predominantly from
directions between north and east. In April while there is a slight strengthening of wind, the
direction is variable. In May there is a further strengthening of winds and the directions are
between south-west and north-west.
Special weather phenomena:
In association with cyclonic storms in the Arabian sea in the post-monsoon months and to a
lesser extent in May, the district experiences very strong winds, sometimes reaching gale
force, particularly very near the coast and also heavy widespread rain. Occasionally these
storms may cross the coast in the northern part of the district and cause heavy damage.

Chapter 6 Proposed Infrastructure
Since the establishment is planned at existing plant site in developed industrial area, no
special/specific development is anticipated. Company will have to do internal site development
only. Company has not planned any residential area at the proposed site as MIDC has already
existing Residential areas earmarked for housing colonies.
6.1 Industrial area:
Maharashtra Aldehydes and Chemicals Limited Plot no A – 17, MIDC Mahad proposes to expand
manufacture of synthetic organic chemicals based on demand and market projection.
6.2 Residential Area:
No Residential area has been proposed within the plant site.
6.3 Green Belt:
Green belt of adequate area within and around the project site shall be carried out as per
industries norms and requirement.
6.4 Social Infrastructure:
Local people will be given preference wherever found suitable for all the jobs in the plant, direct
as well as indirect. Thus the project shall have a positive impact on the employment pattern of
the region. Economic status of the local population will improve due to increased
ancillary/business opportunities, thereby making positive impact. Educational, medical &
housing facilities will improve due to the proposed project.
6.5 Connectivity:
This proposed expansion project facility shall be located at Mahad MIDC area, in Raigad district,
Maharashtra. The Site is 7 km from Mahad town and 17 km from nearest railway Station. The
land and infrastructure is made available by MIDC and the raw material is easily available
through the easy transport via road connectivity.
6.6 Water Management:
Pre-Feasibility Report Maharashtra Aldehydes and Chemicals limited, MIDC Mahad
23
The total water requirement is about 481.5cmd for Domestic, boiler/cooling, and process.
The source of water shall be from MIDC. The water supply will be through the good offices of
MIDC. We will not be encroaching on anybody’s water source.
6.7 Sewage and waste water treatment system:
The treatment of effluent arising from plant is achieved through multiple stages as follows, A. Primary treatment B. Secondary Treatment C. Tertiary Treatment Total 91.5 m3/day effluent will undergo three stages of treatment involving following steps. A. Primary Treatment:- This step includes neutralization and physical separation incorporating the following: •Neutralization Tank •Equalization Tank •Chemical dosing system(Lime/Alum) •Primary Clarifier The effluent will collected in neutralization tank. Provision is made for alkali dosing as required for neutralization. Uniform mixing will be achieved by providing aeration grid (air sparing) in the tank. After completion of neutralization, the effluent will be pumped to equalization tank. Effluent from equalization tank feed to primary clarifier tank for solid liquid separation in primary treatment. Overflow from primary clarifier will be gravitate to Evaporation Pond & then it pumped to Aeration tank for further Biological treatment. B.Secondary Treatment: Secondary treatment includes single stage degradation of effluent. •Aeration Tank •Secondary Clarifier •Sludge dewatering system The effluent will be uniformly gravity to Aeration tank to biologically degrade the organic matter. The Oxygen required for the biological growth was supplied through Surface Aerator System. The overflow from Aeration tank will gravities to Secondary Clarifier. The settled sludge will be pumped back to the Aeration Tank to maintain the bacterial concentration in the tank. The excess sludge in the system will be sent to Sludge Drying Beds for sludge dewatering. The dried sludge will be sent to Hazardous Waste Facility. Overflow from Secondary Clarifier will be send to tertiary treatment.
Tertiary Treatment. The treated effluent of 91.5 m3 after primary and secondary treatment will undergo tertiary treatment. Overflow from Secondary Clarifier will be collected to intermediate tank and effluent will be pumped to Sand Filter and Activated Carbon Filter. After Tertiary Treatment effluent collected in HDPE tank and from this tank 24 m3 effluents

Chapter 9 Analysis of Proposal
9.1 Financial and Social Benefits
With an increased capacity, we shall be creating new jobs thereby empowering the local
population with additional spending power. As industries grow in a hub, the social structure of
the area improves with additional facilities such as schools, technical training centres, hospitals,
etc being made available in the smaller towns. This has a long term impact on the financial &
social improvement thereby reducing the migration of population to urban centres in search of
livelihood & better living conditions
