detailed deliberations, the Committee observed that
captive power requirement for the plant is only 216 MW but PAs have proposed
379 MW power plant. 163 MW power plant is in excess. Land requirement is also 307 ha which is also
in excess and should be restricted to 200 acres. Out of 307 acres, PAs have
acquired 67 acre land only. The Committee differed the proposal and asked
PAs to modify the proposal keeping following observations in mind :
1.
Revise proposal to
include AFBC (106 MW) and WHRB (44 MW) with proper justification regarding
actual requirement of the power and land acquisition within 200 acres only.
2. Accordingly, incorporate change in cost of the project, raw material
requirement, water requirement, solid waste generation, reutilization and
disposal etc.
3. Incorporate all the information desired by the Ministry in the
revised proposal
Keeping above mentioned facts in mind, the Committee differed the
proposal and asked PAs to modify the proposal. The proposal will be
reconsidered for TORs as and when submitted.

feasible and it will create more pollution than fulfilling the requirement for
the plant.
4.
Details of facilities and products
needs to be reassessed.
5.
Material balance also needs to be
reassessed.
6.
Burning of coke oven gases and release
into the environment is not allowed and have to use for generating power
through WHRB.
7.
Possibility of air quenching in the
coke oven instead of water quenching should be explored.
8.
Accordingly, water requirement should
be reduced.
Keeping above mentioned facts in mind,
the committee differed the proposal and asked PAs to submit the revised
proposal incorporating above mentioned information/ clarifications for
consideration of the proposal. The proposal will be considered afresh on
