Essential Detail Sought:
Sno.	EDS Letter	Remarks	Date of EDS
1.	NA	Please inform/clarify the following:- - EC dated 14/3/2007 is for grain based distillery of 60 KLPD. Also, the consent to operate has been issued by SPCB to produce RS/ENA not exceeding 1800 TPM. How the present proposal is for expansion from 110 to 170 KLPD. - Whether the required clearance has been obtained from the concerned regulatory authority for ground water withdrawal of 1380 cum/day.	12 Dec 2018
2.	NA	The correction have been made as per the instruction received	17 Dec 2018
3.	NA	Earlier EC should have been obtained for expansion from 50 to 110 KLPD. Also, there seems no logic for having two separate CTOs against single EC proposed for the distillery.	28 Dec 2018
