Chapter 2: Introduction to the Project/Background information

2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent:

M/s ARL Infratech Ltd. (earlier, Ankit Roofing Ltd.) at village Dahami Khurd, Tehsil

Sanganer, District Jaipur is an existing unit, manufacturing AC sheets and pipes. It

proposes to enhance its production capacity by Manufacturing Asbestos & Non Asbestos

Cement Sheets and Pressure Pipes from 1,60,000 MTPA to 2,40,000 MTPA.

For this proposed expansion added land will be 37,163 sq. m. mainly to be used for

stacking of products. With existing land of 35,100 sq. m, total land will be 72,263 Sq.m.

after expansion. The project technology is based on minimum of air emissions and zero

liquid & solid waste philosophy’.

PROJECT PROPONENT

ARL, headquartered in Jaipur, is a leading conglomerate engaged in serving the critical

infrastructure needs like roofing, water supply, sewerage, sustainable building construction

etc. The organization was established in 1995-96 with a vision to provide highest quality

products and services at the best price for the people of the nation. About two decades later

the group still stands committed to the vision of its founders and has been expanding its

base at a brisk pace.

ARL is one of the largest manufacturers of AC Pressure Pipes in North India and has to its

credit the first ever Asbestos Cement Sheet plant in Rajasthan.

2.2 Nature of the Project

The project in consideration is an existing Asbestos Cement Sheets and Pressure Pipes

manufacturing unit. The proposal involves expansion in the production capacity along with

phased replacement of asbestos fibre (partially) with non-asbestos fibre in pipes and

cement sheets manufacturing. The proposed activity is listed at Item 4 (c) of schedule of

Project : Expansion of existing AC sheets & pipes unit PFR

Promoter : ARL Infratech Limited

ARL Infratech Limited 2

Gazette Notification dated Sep 14th, 2006 and subsequent amendments {Asbestos milling

and asbestos based products}.

2.3 Need for the Project

Due to market demand and the latent export potential of non asbestos pipes and sheets,

ARL proposes to enhance the production capacity by expansion of existing unit. Asbestos

& Non Asbestos Cement Sheets and Pressure Pipes are very important elements of the

infrastructure development in the country. The sheets provide an excellent, lightweight,

durable and cost effective means of coverage especially for industries, sheds & go-downs.

The AC pressure pipes are used for conveying water, (potable, raw and wastewaters)

worldwide, because of their low cost, smooth surface, providing low resistance to flow and

anti corrosive nature.

2.4 Demand and Supply Gap

The asbestos cement sheeting industry is growing at a healthy rate of 10-12 per cent a year.

Even as the real estate sector has taken a hit due to the slowdown and subsequent reduction

in demand, the asbestos cement (AC) sheet industry, which provides roofing material for

about 50 per cent of the rural population, is relatively untouched. Driven by steady demand

from the rural markets, the industry is growing at a healthy 10-12% a year.

2.5 Imports versus Indigenous Production

AC Sheets have been used in India for over 70 years. Being weather-proof and corrosion

resistant, these sheets are practically ageless and maintenance free, whereas metal sheets

corrode and deteriorate with age and exposure.

AC Sheets have also proven to be the most cost effective, easy-to-install, strong and

durable roofing material for warehouses, factories, low-cost housing, and practically any

structure needing a roof. Apart from India, Russia, China, Thailand, Brazil are some of the

largest users of AC Sheets.

Project : Expansion of existing AC sheets & pipes unit PFR

Promoter : ARL Infratech Limited

ARL Infratech Limited 3

This industry sector is thriving on the import of about 3,50,000 tonnes of chrysotile

asbestos a year mainly from Brazil, Russia, Zimbabwe and Kazakhstan for production of

AC sheets and pipes. Asbestos was also mined in India. Mainly Blue asbestos (crocidolite)

was also being mined in Rajasthan, but the mining has gradually been phased out. Because

of the poor quality, it has never been used for manufacturing pressure pipes & sheets.

ARL has never used the indigenous variety because of the poor quality, environmental

hazard and legislative prescriptions.

2.6 Export Possibility

ARL is marking its presence in international markets as well with material dispatches to

Nepal, Lebanon, Angola and Canada etc. By introduction of non asbestos pipes and sheets,

export possibility to other countries is also under consideration.

2.7 Domestic/Export Market

With Quality and Integrity as its pillars, the group has grown its market base with more

than 700 Channel Partners in the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Punjab, Haryana, Madhya

Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. It is already exporting small quantities but

expects that there could be a significant increase in its exports with introduction of the new

varieties.

2.8 Employment Generation

Due to expansion of existing unit, employment will be increased. The unit will hire local

people to the extent possible. Due to expansion, employment generation will be about 100

people. There are already 350 employees working at the existing plant. Therefore total

employment after this expansion will be about 450 people (350 existing + 100 proposed).

The expansion will also increase indirect employment opportunities to several ancillary

service providers.

The cut fiber bags are shredded in the automatic bag shredder attached to the bag opening

device and fed to slurry mixer for use in the process. The wet AC sheets coming out of the

curing/heating chamber are quickly wrapped all around with thin poly sheets to prevent

any further moisture evaporation. This has resulted in saving of curing water to the tune

of about 25 KLD.

REUSE OF WASTE:

Proposed Installed capacity = 2,40,000 MTPA

Total breakage = 1.2%

is 40.6° C and the mean daily minimum is 25.8° C. The night temperature in June is a little

higher than in May. In May and June the maximum temperature some-times reaches 47°C.

The setting-in of the southwest monsoon after the middle of June lowers the temperature

but the relief from the heat is not marked because of the added discomfort from the

increase in humidity. After the withdrawal of the monsoon by mid-September, days

become hotter and in October, a secondary maximum in day temperature is reached. The

nights become progressively cooler. After mid-November both day and night temperatures

drop rapidly till January which is the coldest month with the mean daily maximum

temperature at 22.0° C and the mean daily minimum at 8.3° C. During the brief southwest

monsoon period the relative humidity is generally over 60%. Rest of the year the air is dry

and during summer season, afternoon humidity may be as low as 15-20%. The average

relative humidity in 2009 was 47%.
