2. INTRODUCTION

2.1 Project Proponent

Essar Oil Limited (EOL) is a fully integrated oil and gas company of international scale with strong presence across the hydrocarbon value chain from exploration & production to refining and oil retail. EOL owns India’s second largest single site refinery having a capacity of 20 MMTPA and complexity of 11.8, which is amongst the highest globally. It has a portfolio of onshore and offshore oil & gas blocks with about 1.7 billion barrels of oil equivalent in reserves & resources. There are more than 1,600 Essar-branded oil retail outlets in various parts of India. EOL is:

a) First private company in India to enter refined products marketing sector and has 1600 ROs operational.

b) Supply bulk products to traders and direct customers. c) Tie-ups with other oil marketing companies that gives Essar Oil access to product

and right to use their Depots and facilities for placing and marketing its products. This gives the company pan-India presence with more than 30 supply locations.

d) Marketing of petroleum products to SAARC countries

EOL Vadinar Refinery is one of the most versatile refineries in India. With successful implementation of various projects and de-bottle necking of the Refinery, it currently processes about 20 Million Metric Tons and is enhancing the marketing network, since petroleum price got decontrolled and petroleum product depots are required to meet the supply demand.

2.2 Nature of Project

The main activities of the Depot will be RECEIPT, STORAGE and DISPATCH. The Depot will receive, store and distribute Petroleum Products like Motor Spirit (MS), High Speed Diesel (HSD) and Superior Kerosene Oil (SKO). The Depot will also store for its own use Ethanol and Slop. No by-products / additional products are generated / manufactured during the operations. Hence, the present proposal is classified under Schedule 6(b) & Category ‘B’ according to EIA Notification 2006 & subsequent amendments.


3. SITE INFORMATION Essar Oil Ltd, (EOL) Marketing Division has proposed to set up a new POL Depot at Village Neemgaon, Nearest Railway Station – Dahegaon, Dist. – Wardha, near Nagpur, Maharashtra State at a plot admeasuring 21.4 ha and owned by EOL. The proposed depot shall fully comply with PESO (Petroleum & Explosives Safety Organaisation), OISD (Oil Industry Safety Directorate standards mainly 117, 118 & 244), petroleum rules and other Statutory requirements.

3.1 Site Alternates

To setup the Rail Fed Depot in Maharashtra, the team consisting of 3 senior members visited no of probable sites near Nagpur and Wardha and shortlisted suitable lands at the following locations near Wardha.

• Sindi – 36 KM from Wardha. • Seloo Road – 16 KM from Wardha. • Dahegaon – 15 KM from Wardha.

The Pre – Feasibility Study for Railway Siding was conducted from which Dahegaon Railway station was most suitable and was approved by Railway approved consultant M/s. BARSYL. On comparative study, it was observed that, land near Dahegaon Railway Station has better Railway Siding Feasibility. Therefore, Dahegoan land was shortlisted as best location for setting up EOL’s Depot in Maharashtra.
