The company is preparing its dossiers and documentation to enter regulated
markets.
Alkem has a new production facility coming up at Baddi, Himachal Pradesh, at a
project cost of about Rs.60 crore. The plant is expected to go on stream by April 2005.
Alkem is among the largest producers of antibiotics cephalosporin, possibly only
after Lupin. There is a huge global demand for cephalosporin and few manufacturers in
these countries. So they will largely source from India and besides Lupin and Alkem,
other players in this category are Ranbaxy and Orchid.
Alkem is one of the leading producers of cephalsphorins and its cephalsphorin
brand, Taxim, is among the top five Indian pharma brands with a turnover of around
Rs.100 crore.
But in an effort to reduce its dependence on cephalosporins, the company hopes to
develop about three molecules by the year-end in therapeutic areas such as cancer,
Alzheimer's disease, HIV/AIDS and heart-related illnesses.
Taxim-O
The company manufactures the Taxim brand which is the number one brand
among top 250 brands in the Indian pharmaceutical market and is rated as such by IMS
Health India. Taxim-O is the line extension of Taxim with a value of Rs.27.1 crore.
Vaccine
Alkem has also acquired marketing rights for hepatitis-B vaccines from Cheil
Jedang Corporation of Korea. Earlier Bharat Serum used to market their products in India
but a few years back that arrangement was discontinued. Now, Alkem has taken over
marketing rights for this vaccine. These Hepatitis-B vaccines known as Heppacin-B are
plasma derived vaccines which is the only vaccine to contain pre-s1 and pre-s2 antigens

and the company claims that these vaccines are therefore more effective than the DNA
recombinant HB vaccines. In some of the advanced countries like France, DNA
recombinant HB vaccines have been banned.
The company claims that the plasma derived HB vaccines are also recommended
by WHO (World Health Organisation). Most of the new capacities for manufacture of
hepatitis-B vaccines are based on DNA recombinant. These medicines are also more
expensive than the plasma derived vaccines.
Herbal formulations
Alkem Laboratories, primarily into the allopathic drug market, has made a foray
into the herbal formulations market with the launch of two herbal products in the lifestyle
segment. It has entered into a five year strategic alliance with a South Indian firm, Cybele
Herbal Laboratories, for the exclusive marketing rights of the latter's products.
Cogent Db+, an anti-diabetic drug and Mobigold, an arthritis remedy would be
prescription drugs and priced at Rs.3 per tablets and Rs.6 per tablet respectively.
On the export front, Alkem Laboratories expects is the herbal formulations foray
to boost its figures considerably.
Megapime
Megapime is the fourth generation caphalosporin active against a broader
spectrum of bacteria than the third generation cephalosporins. Increasing resistance to the
third-generation cephalosporins has reduced their efficacy, especially in the ICU setting.
Megapime is a life saving antibiotic that fulfills a therapeutic need in such settings.
The drug has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as
the only stand-alone drug which can be administered, without waiting for an exact
diagnosis, to serious patients suffering from fever with a low white cell count.
The white cells are the body's first line of defence against all kinds of illnesses
and a low white cell count means the patient is at a higher risk of catching a wide variety
of severe infections.
Generic version of Arimidex
Alkem Laboratories would soon compete with pharma major Astra Zeneca in the
oncology segment. The company is gearing up to introduce a generic version of
AstraZeneca's Arimidex, used in the treatment of breastcancer among post menopausal
patients, at a competitive price in mid-January 2004.

Alkem's product, Altraz (active pharma ingredient: Anastrozole), a new class of

hormone treatment drugs called aromatase inhibitors, reduces the relative risk of
recurrence and is used to treat brease cancer in post-menopausal patients.
Food processing
Alkem Laboratories Ltd., is set to take its first steps in the business of food
processing.
A new range of table-top sweeteners, cookies, jams and jellies will soon roll-out Alkem
Laboratories,
In September, Alkem will launch table-top sweetner Majesta in different forms,
including sachets, jars and liquid concentrates.
Mejesta combines what is touted to be a new-age sweetener, fructo-oligo
saccharide and sucralose.
Subsequently, the company would roll out other products like cookies, fruit and
vegetable products, jams and jellies, juices and even soups. This would be during the
August to December period.
The food foray would be through Alkems new health-foods division.
The plant is already commissioned, but will be put to full commercial use when
the food products are launched next month.
Meanwhile, Alkem also plans to invest about Rs.25 crore in promotional
activities. The company has also tied up with Muller and Phipps India as a distributor
for its food products. There would be a commission on distribution.
R & D alliance with University of Manitoba, Canada
Alkem Laboratories Ltd., and the University of Manitoba, Canada, entered into a
memorandum of understanding (MoU) for research and development projects. This is the
first R & D signed by Alkem with a foreign university.
The research will focus on therapeutic molecules, extraction of biologically active
molecules from plants and animals, production of sufficient quantities of product to
conduct animal and human clinical trials, investigation for product development and
consumer acceptance.
The collaboration will have a particular emphasis on oncology and diabetes.
Research will be carried out both in India and Canada and both parties will pursue the
work in their areas of expertise.

The company has an existing R & D MoU with the Banaras Hindu University for
joint development of low-cost lifesaving drugs, including R & D tieups with foreign
companies for recombinant protein drug development.

Joint venture of Bihar State Industrial Development Corpn. and Aditya Birla
Group.
Bihar Caustic and Chemicals Ltd. (BCCL), is a company promoted by Hindalco
Industries, Pilani Investments also a Birla Group company and Bihar State Industrial
Development Corporation (BSIDC).
Hindalco Industries Ltd., in 2001 acquired 10 per cent stake in Bihar Caustic and
Chemicals Ltd. from another group company, Grasim Industries Ltd. Hindalco now holds
20 per cent stake in BCCL. Hindalco is heavily dependent on BCCL for caustic soda
which is an important input for aluminium smelting. BCCL will in the future be further
utilised as Hindalco is currently undertaking a brownfield expansion, which will increase

Hindalco's capacity by another one lakh tonne. This will create a larger demand for
caustic soda from BCCL.
Bihar Caustic & Chemicals (BCCL) belongs to the Aditya Birla group, whose
flagship Hindalco and its subsidiaries together hold 54.5% equity stake in the company.
BCCL also enjoys the advantage of having a single assured buyer like Hindalco. The
latter picks up as much as 75% of the total caustic soda production from the company.
This acts as a major booster for Bihar Caustic as it incurs little marketing costs.
Despite such an advantage, Bihar Caustic had been making losses until a couple
of years back and has turned the corner recently.
One of the chief factors in the turnaround of the company was the setting up of a
30 MW co-generation power plant two years back. This assured supply of electricity at
reasonable rates enabled the company to achieve higher capacity utilisation and also cut
cost of production by a substantial margin.
The company's future prospects appears to be improving considering that it is
now in the process of expanding its caustic soda production capacity to 225 tonne per day
from 150 tonne per day at present. This would require a capital expenditure of Rs.110
crore. Since the company would simultaneously upgrade the technology for
manufacturing the product to membrane cell method from the existing mercury cell
technology, this would initiate better cost efficiency measures in the times ahead.
The major advantage of selling almost 75% of its caustic soda production to
Hindalco has enabled it to move ahead with the expansion plan. Hindalco can easily
absorb higher supplies from Bihar Caustic without stretching its production process.
Once the expansion plan is complete, the company is almost assured of improving upon
its bottomline considerably.

Hindustan Zinc Ltd. (HZI), is now a Sterlite group company.
HZL is an integrated producer of zinc and lead with mines at Rampura Agucha,
Rampura Dariba and Zawar in Rajasthan and smelters at Debari (zinc) and Chanderia
(zinc and lead) in Rajasthan and Visakhapatnam (zinc) with a total installed capacity of
230,000 tonnes zinc and 35,000 tonnes lead metal per annum.

The company's product profile comprises, apart from zinc and lead, byproducts
such as cadmium, silver and sulphuric acid.
HZL's strong business position emanates from its favourable operating efficiency
characterised by full integrated operations from mining to the production of metal. The
company has longterm leases for sourcing ore at its six mines, which are of varying
quality and deposit life and are sufficient to take care of the company's requirements in
the short-to-medium term.
The company's operations are also geographically diversified (spread across the
states of Rajasthan, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Orissa), thereby reducing the
concentration risk, to a large extent and enabling it to serve a large market.
The ISF produces nearly 35,000 tonnes of bullion lead every year and the refinery
produces approximately 30,000 tonnes of refined lead every year.
Nickel Technology
Another positive development is Nickel Technology Proving Plant, which was
commissioned in Sept. 1999 and is operating satisfactorily.
Smelter expansion
The company also produces lead, which is consumed mainly by the battery
segment. India, which is emerging as the preferred distination for sourcing auto
components, is likely to witness higher demand for batteries
Domestic demand of lead is 155,000 tonnes whereas the domestic supply is
restricted to 55,000 tonne. Domestic demand is growing at the rate of 6 per cent plus
(annually) leading to further widening of deficit.
Of the total domestic consumption, HZL supplies 35,000 tonnes per annum.
Nearly 23,000 tonnes is supplied by the secondary market and the balance through
imports.
The domestic consumption of lead is dominated by battery industries, which
accounts for nearly 75 per cent of the total consumption, followed by chemicals and
pigments industries at 16 per cent.
HZL's lead mining capacity is more than the smelting capacity. Expansion will
help in having a matching mining and smelting capacity. However, some of the lead
concentrate may have to be imported to meet expanded capacity.
This expansion will significantly boost HZL's market share in the domestic lead
market.

Prospects
Tight supply of zinc concentrate - a raw material for producing zinc - in the nearto-medium term suggests a firm outlook for zinc prices, Zinc prices are likely to remain
firm in the $1,200-1,300 per tonne range.
With 100 per cent of the concentrate requirements met from its captive sources, it
is better positioned to absorb supply shock and a downturn in metal prices, if any.
Over 70 per cent of the demand for zinc is absorbed by the steel galvanising
market. With domestic steel companies putting up fresh capacities, the company is wellpoised to meet the incremental demand.
On the global front, the deficit of the metal is expected to continue over the next
year or two, primarily driven by the consumption growth in China.
The company also produces lead, which is consumed mainly by the battery
segment.
India, which is emerging as the preferred destination for sourcing auto
components, is likely to witness higher demand for batteries.
Silver
The company is also undertaking a three-fold increase of its silver production and
expanding its lead capacity from 35,000 tonnes to 85,000 tonnes a year.
New unit in Chaderiya in Rajasthan
Hindustan Zinc has decided to set up a new 1.7 lakh tonnes per annum capacity
smelter at Chaderiya in Rajasthan. The decision comes close on the heels of HZL's
recently completed expansion programme at the end of which its smelter capacity has
reached 4 lakh tonne.
This is the second phase of the expansion plan.
The decision to increase smelter capacity at the existing unit is aimed at taking
advantage of the strong and growing metal demand in the domestic market and other
Asian markets. The demand for zinc in domestic market is slated to cross 4.4 lakh tonne
in 2005-06, with average rate of growth expected at around 7 to 8%. HZL, the only major
producer of zinc in India, aims to cater to market for galvanised rebars used in lamp
posts, crash guards on highways and zinc sheets which are mainly used for interior
decoration.
Captive power project

The companys 154 MW captive power plant is fully operational and this should
lower the energy bill over the next few quarters.
Other Details
Though global zinc majors such as Zinifex of Austrlia and falconbridge of Canada
have announced plan to augment their mining capacities, the new mines are unlikely to
start contributing before 2008 further, the demand is likely to outpace supply primarily
on the back of huge requirement by galvinished steel-makers the world over, Even
allowing for a slowdown from current growth rates, China alone is likely to account for
over 30 per cent of the world demand for metals by 2010.
The newly-added capacities in lead and zinc are expected to give the company the
twin benefits of higher volumes and lower operating costs over the next few years.
It is increasing its zinc smelting capacity by 1,70,000 tonnes to 5,70,000 tonnes
per annum, which is likely to be fully commissioned in 2008.

Background details

Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) was formed in 1964 through the combination of the
Indian Oil Company Ltd., a marketer and the Indian Refineries Ltd., the refinery
company.
This has created the largest oil company in India. It's seven refineries at
Guwahati, Barauni, Koyali, Mathura, Haldia, Digboi and Panipat together process over
36 million tonnes of crude, achieving a capacity utilisation over 100 percent.
The company also owns the majority of the pipeline network.
Koyali Refinery
By the end of 1999, the company completed the expansion of its Koyali refinery
in Gujarat to 12.5 million tonnes from 9.5 million tonne at present.

Marketing and Distribution infrastructure

Other than refining, IOC has a dominant share in marketing and distribution
infrastructure. It owns over 50 per cent of the terminals, 80 per cent of aviation fuel
stations, 40 per cent of depots and outlets and nearly all the pipelines. Relative to its
overall network size. IOC has lesser coverage of retail outlets.
Technology
For global process technologies, IOC tied up with IFP-France, Halder TopsoeDenmark, UNOCAL/UOP, US and Stone & Webster, US.
Pipeline division
The company holds an estimated 55 percent share of the market for petroleum
products. One of the key assets of the company is its 5293 Km. Oil and Oil product pipe
line.
Exploration and production
In the area of exploration and production, the company has entered into an
understanding with Enterprise Oil of UK to develop oil fields jointly. The company has
already approached the government for the allocation of the Bombay High D-1/d-18
offshore on a nomination basis.
It has also signed up for joint ventures with Petronas of Malaysia and Merubani of
Japan for exploration and production and projects in the petrochemical sector, LNG and
Lube Blending. IOC and Petronas are jointly putting up a LNG import and distribution
facility at Haldia.
Power project
In a bid to make use of the in-house expertise and resources available with the
company, it is also planning to set up power plants close to its refineries. The company
has signed a MoU with the Punjab State Electricity Board for selling power produced at
Bhatinda. The power projects identified by IOC are at Panipat (Haryana) of 240 MW,
Savli (Gujarat) of 110 MW, Kosai Kalan (UP) of 110 MW and Haldia (West Bengal) of
300 MW. The company has proposed to develop all these projects as independent power
projects in joint ventures with suitable partners.

Guwahati Refinery
The Guwahati Refinery of the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) was commissioned in
1962 as the first public sector refinery in the country.
Built with Romanian technology, the one-million tonnes per annum capacity
refinery has the highest distillate among Indian refineries, in full compliance with all
environmental standards and stipulations.
Currently, projects worth Rs.78 crores are under advanced stages of completion,
besides a Rs.497 crore hydrotreater unit to
enable the refinery to meet the future quality specifications of high speed diesel.
Rs.48 crore project for producing unleaded motor spirit as per the Government
programme for phasing out lead in petrol is another prestigious project of the refinery.
Guwahati Refinery will soon produce 130,000 tonne of lead free petrol and
enhance maximisation of LPG to 55,000 tonne per annum with the completion of the
ongoing modernisation programme by next year.
Rs.700 crore modernisation programme had been undertaken to make the plant
viable in the production of motor spirit, liquified petroleum gas, diesel and kerosene of
international standard. Rs.497 crore diesel hydro treater unit is part of the expansion
programme.
Guwahati Refinery produces 60 to 65 tonnes of cooking gas per day of which
14.2 tonnes or 1,000 cylinders are being bottled in the refinery. The remaining quantity is
being sent elsewhere for bottling.
When the proposed INDMAX project (for producing LPG by cracking LSHS)
would be completed, the daily production of cooking gas in the refinery would go up to
180 to 200 tonnes enough to feed several new bottling plants in and around Guwahati.
The Union Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, has laid the foundation for the
Indmax unit at Guwahati Refinery of Indian Oil Corporation.
Barauni Refinery
The Barauni refinery in Bihar, which had been dependent on crude from Assam,
had been functioning much below its installed capacity as supply of crude from the state
was not assured. It would no longer depends on Assam crude as pipeline had been laid
from Haldia port to Barauni to bring adequate crude to the refinery.
The refinery receives imported crude for processing through the Haldia-Barauni
crude oil pipeline.

Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., has commissioned a crude pipeline from Haldia to its
Barauni Refinery enabling the latter to achieve total capacity utilisation and eventually
meet the crude deficit in Bongaigaon Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd. (BRPL) and
Numaligarh Refinery Ltd. (NRL).
The pipeline, was commissioned at a cost of Rs.660 crores and has a capacity of
4.2 million tonnes per annum. This would be increased to 7.5 million tonnes per annum
to meet the requirements of the expanded Barauni refinery and the deficit of about 1.5
million tonnes per annum in the availability of crude for the other two refineries.
IOC proposes the expansion of capacity of its Barauni refinery from the present
level of 4.2 to 6 million tonnes per annum. Commensurate with the expansion of the
refinery, the pipeline capacity would be increased to its eventual level from which the
required 6 million tonnes per annum would be used by the refinery and the surplus would
be sent to the two refineries through reverse pumping in the existing pipeline from Assam
to Barauni.
The laying of this pipeline would be beneficial in two ways. One, it would allow
Barauni to achieve 100 per cent capacity utilisation which it has been unable to do for a
long time now and second, it would also meet the deficit of crude in the refinery of the
North-Eastern States.
Against the installed capacity of 4.2 million tonnes per annum, the refinery's
capacity utilisation was about 2.2 million tonnes per annum (about 50 percent) owing too
the low availability of crude from Assam.
An additional amount of Rs.370 crores would be required in the expansion of the
pipeline capacity from 4.2 to 7.5 million tonnes per annum and Rs.1,700 crores would be
required for the expansion of the refinery from the present level of 4.2 to 6 to million
tonnes per annum. Barauni, the second of the seven refineries of IOC, was set up with an
installed capacity of 2 million tonnes per annum with two crude distillation units of one
million tonnes per annum capacity each. Subsequently in 1969, the capacity was
increased to three million tonnes per annum.
The refinery capacity was further raised to 4.2 million tonnes per annum with
systematic minor modifications and implementation of various energy conservation
projects. The refinery so far has been processing low sulphur waxy indigenous Assam
crude oil transported through 1,150 km long pipeline of Oil India Ltd. (OIL) from Assam
oil fields.

Indian Oil Corporation's (IOC) Barauni Refinery expansion project to six million
tonnes is facing cost overrun of Rs.160 crore, mainly due to constraints in procurement of
equipment.
Expansion of the 4.2 million tonnes Barauni Refinery to six million tonnes is now
estimated to cost Rs.1,963 crore as against the original cost of Rs.1803 crore.
The expansion proposal of Barauni Refinery, which supplies distillate petroleum
products to North and eastern India, also include a new FCC and hydrotreatment facilities
as well as augmentation of crude oil pipeline.
Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd.
Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd., is now under the fold of Indian Oil
Corporation Ltd.
Indian Oil Corporation is the marketing agent for the company's products from
the two refineries.
Gujarat Refinery
The foundation stone for the three million tonnes per annum (mpta) crude oil
distillation unit at Indianoil's Gujarat Refinery has been laid in the month of November
1997. The expansion Project is being implemented at a cost of Rs. 1,053 crores.
While Rs.749 crores would be spent on creation of refinery facilities Rs. 304
crores would be spent on augmentation of the Salaya-Viramgam-Koyali crude oil
pipeline.
As a part of the expansion project of Gujarat Refinery, the new crude distillation
unit (AUV) will be installed in the Refinery premises. The capacity of the existing
fluidised catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) will also be increased from the present 1 to 1.5
million tonnes per annum.

The feed preparation unit (FPU) of the refinery would also be revamped to
increase its capacity from 1.67 to 2.37 million tonnes per annum.
The Salaya-Viramgam-Koyali oil pipeline is also being augmented to meet the
requirement of additional crude oil for the Refinery after the capacity expansion.
With the completion of the expansion project, the capacity of the Refinery would
increase to 12.5 million tonnes per annum from the present 9.5 million tonnes per annum.
The project is scheduled to be mechanically completed by December 1999.
Gujarat Refinery has become the first refinery in the country to produce motor
spirit (petrol) with a benzene content as low as 0.92 per cent.
Claiming another first, the IOC refinery has also come out with high speed diesel
(HSD) with an ultra low sulphur content of 0.04 per cent.

LAB facility at Koyali Refinery

Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) commissioned its 120,000 tonnes per annum Linear
alkyl benzene (LAB) plant on August 15, 2004.
Built at a cost of Rs.1,248 crore and located at IOC's Koyali Refinery in Gujarat,
it is the largest single train kerosene to LAB plant in the world and the country's largest
LAB plant. The principal raw materials - kerosene (for manufacture of n-parafins) and
benzene - are available captively at the refinery.
Panipat Refinery
The Rs.3,868-crore, 6 million tonnes per annum refinery located at Baholi village
about 20 km from Panipat, has gone on stream in 1999, producing among other products,
the eco-friendly lead-free petrol and low sulphur diesel.
Indian Oil Corporation's plan to expand the capacity of the Panipat Refinery from
six to nine million tonnes per annum at an estimated cost of Rs.1605 crores has been
approved by the Public Investment Board (PIB).
Sixty six per cent of the processed crude products from Panipat refinery will be
carried by the 1,350 km long Kandla-Panipat pipeline, which has now been en connected
to Jullundur and Bhatinda as well. Rail and road transshipment will account for the rest.
With gas replacing naphtha, it is faced with surplus naphtha and to put it to best
use is to make petrochemicals out of it. The PX/PTA project at Panipat refinery will cost
will produce 3,57,000 tonnes per annum paraxylene and 5,53,000 tonnes per annum.
Besides, IOC is also building a naphtha cracker and down stream polymer units
(naphtha cracker complex) at Panipat at an estimated cost of Rs.6300 crore.
PTA project at Panipat
Indian Oil Corporation has commissioned the purified terephthalic acid (PTA)
plant at it Panipat refinery in Haryana.
The Px-PTA complex, set up at a cost of approximately Rs 4,600 crore, will
produce 3.6 lakh tonnes of para-xylene per annum, which in turn will produce 5.5 lakh
tonnes of PTA per annum. Over 20,000 tonnes of benzene will also be produced per
annum as a by-product from the complex. There is flexibility of marketing para-xylene
also.

Diesel hydrotreatment unit

Indian Oil Corporation (IndianOil) has commissioned the diesel hydrotreatment
unit (DHDT) at its Panipat refinery, as part of the ongoing expansion project that would
double the refinery capacity from 6 to 12 million tonnes per annum (MMTPA).
The DHDT is the second major unit of the refinery expansion project to go on
stream after the successful commissioning of the hydrogen generation unit in November
2006.
The new unit, with a capacity of 3,500,000 tonnes per annum (TPA), is reportedly
the largest capacity DHDT unit in the country and is licensed by AXENS, France.
Larsen & Toubro constructed the unit on lump sum turnkey basis, with Engineers
India Ltd as project consultants. This would enable Panipat Refinery to maximise the
production of diesel conforming to EURO-III norms.
The company is currently implementing two petrochemical projects at Panipat.
The first is an integrated PX/PTA (paraxylene/purified terephthalic acid) plant at a cost of
Rs 5,100 crore, scheduled to be commissioned by March 2006. The other is a naphtha
cracker complex and downstream polymer units involving an investment of Rs 6,300
crore, scheduled for commissioning in 2009.
Oil Terminal in Gulf of Kutch
Indian Oil Corporation has completed the installation of an offshore oil terminal, a
single-point mooring (SPM) system, in the Gulf of Kutch. The offshore terminal at
Vadhinar on the coast of Salaya would be able to berth and unload very large crude oil
carriers (VLCCS) of 3,00,000 tonnes capacity. This second oil terminal will facilitate to
unload crude oil to feed the upcoming Panipat Refinery of IOC.
IOC already owns and operates single-point mooring system at Vadhinar, which
was commissioned way back in 1978. The oil terminal is the vanguard station of SalayaMathura crude oil Pipe line system, the longest in the country. This cross-country 1,220
km. pipeline has been in operation for more than 18 years and caters to the full crude oil
requirement of Mathura Refinery in Uttar Pradesh and part requirement of Koyali
Refinery in Gujarat, two of the largest oil Refineries in the country with a combined
capacity of 17 million metric tonnes per annum.
In a single-point mooring system, a tanker is mired with the SPM only at a single
point. Since the SPMs are installed far away from the shore/coast, sufficient water depth
(draft) is available making it suitable for VLCCs and even Ultra Large Crude Carriers
(ULCCs) to berth. At present, large tankers cannot enter any of the Indian ports due to
draft restriction.

With two SPMs of IOC working simultaneously at the coast off Vadhinar, it is
now possible to increase the capacity of unloading different types of crude oil brought in
by various tankers from across the globe.
Haldia Refinery
Haldia Refinery, the only LUBE refinery, was commissioned in 1975 with an
installed capacity of 2.5 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) in technical
collaboration with M/s. TECHNIP-ENSA of France for Fuel Oil Block and M/s.Industrial
Export of Romania for Lube Oil Block.
Haldia Refinery is spread up over an area of about 500 acres. The Refinery
consists of three blocks of process units called Fuel Oil Block, Lube Oil Block and Addl.
Secondary Processing Block besides Oil Movement & Storage (OM & S) and Utilities
sections.
Finished products from this Refinery cover both fuel oil products as well as lube
oil base stocks. While the fuel products includes LPG, Naphtha, Motor Spirit (MS),
Mineral Turpentine Oil (MTO), Superior kerosene (SK), Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF),
Russian Turbine Fuel (RTF), High Speed Diesel (HSD), Jute Batching Oil (JBO) and
Furnace Oil (FO), Lube Oil base stocks cover Inter neutral, Heavy neutral and Bright
neutral HVI grades. Besides the above, Micro crystalline wax, Slack Wax, Carbon black
feed stock (CBFS), Bitumen and Sulphur are the other products of this refinery.
Project commissioned: To maintain pace with progress and modernisation, new projects
are conceived and implemented at Haldia Refinery.
Among the projects which have been recently commissioned include, full scale
revamp of Lube oil block for augmenting LOBS production to 222,000 tonnes per
annum.
Installation of distributed digital control system for FOB.
LOB process unit and TPS.
Major thrust for the ongoing projects are Environmental protection, quality
improvements for Lube oil base stocks, production of value added products and
strengthening of refinery utilities and despatch facilities.
It is worth mentioning that 2nd Crude Distillation Unit of 1.0 MMTPA capacity
has been designed, engineered inhouse and commissioned at a cost of Rs.45 crores for
processing of Low sulphur crude.

Fuel Oil Block (FOB): Fuel Oil Block, commissioned in August 1974, consist of
Atmospheric Distillation Unit, Naphtha Pretreating and Reforming unit, Kero-hydro Desulphurisation unit, along with small units viz. Gas separation and Merox unit.
During the year 1998-99, Haldia Refinery processed 4.71 million metric tonnes of
crude oil. Keeping in view the need to produce high Octane blending component for
production of Motor Spirit and for treating SK/ATF produced from high sulphur imported
crudes, a semi regenerative type of Catalytic Reforming Unit (CRU) and Kero Hydro Desulphurisation Unit (KHDSU) have been incorporated in the processing scheme of the
Refinery and form an integral part of Fuel Oil Block.
Lube Oil Block (LOB): The Lube Oil Block, commissioned in January 1977, consist of
Vacuum distillation Unit, Visbraker Unit, Bitumen unit and the Lube processing units viz.
Propane de-asphalting, Furfural extraction, Solvent De-Waxing and Hydro-finishing
units.
For upgrading the heavy residues to ongrade products, Visbreaking and Bitumen
Units play important roles in the refinery operation. Taking into account the increased
demand of LOBS, the Solvent De-Waxing unit has been revamped to increase the
production of Lube oil base stocks. Unlike other refineries, Bitumen is produced at
Haldia refinery by blending asphalt, produced in Propane De-asphalting unit and
Aromatic rich extract/Vacuum residues which gives the refinery a unique flexibility of
producing paving grade Bitumen of very low penetration, with practically no ill effect on
its production capability.
To improve Lube Oil Base Stock quality with respect to viscosity index, and to
augment extraction capacity at Haldia Refinery, NMP (N-methyl pyrolidone) extraction
unit was installed and commissioned in March 1999. This unit will give better quality of
Lube oil. The complete engineering and construction have been carried out in house.
Diesel hydro desulphurisation unit : The Rs.650 crore 1.2 million tonnes per annum
diesel desulphurisation unit has been commissioned with low sulphur high speed diesel
(0.25 per cent wt. sulphur content).
Installation of DHDS unit is one of the major pollution control measures
undertaken at Haldia Refinery. It will help to reduce SO 2 emissions as a result of
introduction of low sulphur diesel in the market, there by minimizing the impact of
pollution in the environment. It has been installed and commissioned to produce ecofriendly Diesel of 0.05% wt. sulphur. This complex comprises of Hydrogen unit, Diesel
Hydro desulphurisation unit, Amine Absorption/Regeneration unit, Sulphur recovery unit,
Sour water stripper and other utilities. This Block was constructed at a cost of Rs.695
crores and entire construction and commissioning was completed in a record time.
The control system is fully automated. A highly efficient Sulphur Recovery Unit
ensures minimum SO2 emission from this process block.

Iso dewaxing unit: Indian Oil Corporation has selected Mobile, the US oil major, for
supplying the process technology for the Rs.440 crore iso dewaxing unit to be set up at
the Haldia refinery. Chevron, another US oil major, was the other bidder for the job. The
detailed project report for the project has been prepared by Lurgi of Germany.
The iso dewaxing unit would enable the Haldia refinery to produce high-quality
lube oil, currently not produced in the country. The project would come up in 2002.
Hydrocracker project: The Board of Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) has cleared the
Rs.1,506 crore hydrocracker project for its refinery at Haldia, IFP, France, would supply
the process design and catalyst technology.
Residual oil supercritical extraction unit : The refinery had already commissioned the
residual oil supercritical extraction (ROSE) plant (capacity 80,000 tonnes per annum) at a
cost of Rs.48 crore, with design and process technology supplied by Kellog, NMP (Nmethyl pyrroledone, capacity 3,50,000 tonnes) at a cost of Rs.48 crore, with technology
supplied by the Indian Institute of Petroleum, Dehra Dun and Madras Refineries Ltd.
The Micro Crystalline Wax unit had also been commissioned at a cost of more
than Rs.40 crore with technology supplied by IFP, France.
Utilities
To ensure uninterrupted operation of process units, Refinery has a well knit network of power, steam and cooling water supply system. Refinery's own captive power
plant has 4 Boilers of 3x125 MT/hr and 1x150 MT/hr, capacity and 4 Turbo Generators,
3x10.5 MW + 1x16.5 MW capacity. To cater to the need of DHDS unit, 4th Boiler of 150
MT/hr. capacity and 4th TG of 16.5 MW capacity have been commissioned. Fresh water
requirements for the Refinery is catered by a number of tube wells located inside and
outside the Refinery and is supplemented by Geonkhali Water Supply Project of the State
Government.
Besides DM Water plant and Cooling Tower, a modern gas turbine is being
installed to meet additional power requirement of the refinery.
Fluidised Catalytic Cracking unit
Indian Oil Has installed the Fluidised Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU), with a
capacity of 7 lakh Metric tonnes per annum, at its Haldia Refinery, to produce high
quality environment friendly products like LPG, Petrol and Diesel at a cost of Rs.507
crore to meet the demand in West Bengal and other adjoining states in Eastern India.
Flue gas scrubbing unit
For the first time in India, a Flue Gas Scrubbing Unit has been set up alongwith
the FCCU, to minimise sulphur emission.

The FCCU project and other associated facilities were completed eight months
ahead of schedule creating a new benchmark in the implementation of similar projects in
India.
Import/Export terminal
The state-of-the-art LPG Import/Export Terminal was set up at Haldia at a cost of
Rs.260 crore by Indian Oil Petronas Pvt. Ltd., a joint venture between Indian Oil and
Petronas - both Fortune 500 companies and flagship energy majors of India and
Malaysia.
With an annual capacity of 6 lakh Metric tonnes, the LPG terminal is spread over
an area of 79 acres near the Haldia Port with facilities to undertake receipt of LPG from
ocean tankers, cryogenic storage and bulk despatch.
The first such terminal on the Eastern coast of India, the infrastructure will be a
robust support for assured supply of LPG the clean, efficient and convenient fuel for
domestic and industrial use.
Lube blending plants
Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) will commission two lube blending units at Taloja
in Maharashtra and Silvassa in Gujarat.
Another plant, at Asoti near Faridabad, is likely to go on stream by July 2001. The
cost of these three projects is around Rs.220 crores.
The Taloja and Silvassa plants are being put up with capacities of 20,000 tonnes
and 30,000 tonnes per annum respectively. The Asoti plant will be a bigger unit, with a
capacity of 60,000 tonnes.
The total demand in the country is estimated at around 11,00,000 kl. IOC
produces about 4,80,000 kl lubricants, against a total available capacity of 5,40,000 kl.
Mathura Refinery
Indian Oil Corporation will expand the capacity of its Mathura refinery from the
present 7.5 million tonnes to 11 million tonnes per annum.
The company has plans to use LNG from the Dahej terminal without increasing
the Sulphur dioxide emission in Mathura.
Mathura Refinery processes low sulphur crude oils from Bombay High and
Nigeria and high sulphur crude from West Asia.

Paradip Refinery
The foundation stone for Paradip Refinery was laid in the month of May 2000.
Indian Oil's Paradip refinery will be the first zero-residue refinery in India.
The refinery will produce a range of major fuels like Indane cooking gas, naphtha,
motor spirit, kerosene, ATF and high speed diesel besides sulphur.
The first single point mooring system on the East Coast will be installed off the
port of paradip for receiving crude oil.
A state-of-the-art marketing terminal will be constructed to provide facilities for
rail, road and coastal despatches of petroleum products to markets in Orissa and
neighbouring states.
A product pipeline is planned from Paradip to Rourkela in the first phase to
eventually connect to the Indian Oil's existing pipeline systems spanning across the
country from Kandla in Gujarat to Guwahati in Assam.
To protect the ecology, equipment and facilities (individual state-of-the-art
effluent treatment plants) worth Rs.700 crore will be installed. Over five lakh trees will
be planted creating a green cover of 600 acre in and around the refinery.
Indian Oil Corporation has said that a detailed feasibility study on its proposed 15
million tonnes per annum refinery and petrochemicals complex at Paradip in Orissa in
under preparation.
IOC has been going slow on the Paradip project for the last four years in view of a
glut in the refinery industry in the country.
Though the IOC board had allowed the company to go for an integrated 15 mt
refinery-cum-petrochemicals complex involving an investment of Rs.20,700 crore in
2004, according to the latest scheme of things the company will not go for a fullfledged
petrochemicals project in the initial stage.
The DFR, which is now subject to the scrutiny of the project evaluation
committee, proposes commissioning of the 15 mt a year refinery using fluid catalytic
cracking route. This will enable production of Polypropylene and polystyrene along with
the regular refinery products requiring an estimated investment of close to Rs.15000
crore.
In the second phase IOC plans to set up a naphtha cracker plant to produce a
wider range of products including monoethylene glycol.
Infrastructure project

In the field of infrastructure projects, IOC has tied up with Oil Tanking of
Germany and IBP to form a new joint venture called Indian Oil Tanking Ltd. Two other
JV's Indomobile and Avi Oil India are already operating for blending and marketing of
automotive and defence aviation lubricants.
Bitumen
Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Maharashtra Small Scale Industries
Development Corporation (MSSIDC) entered into an agreement for procurement and
supply of around 1,00,000 tonnes of Bitumen for the state.
The corporation would be in a position to reach out at small and medium
contractors which have been engaged in World Bank-aided and National Highway
Authority of India and related road projects through the network of MSSIDC.
The contractors can procure Bitumen in bulk or pack which cost at around
Rs.10,000 per ton through MSSIDC network across the state.
Stake in Petronet LNG
IOC has a 12.5 per cent stake in Petronet LNG (a consortium of public sector oil
companies) at Dahej, and hence would like to exploit IBP's technology for manufacturing
these containers. IBP is not a part of the Petronet LNG project, it would also be in IBP's
interest to share this expertise with IOC.
IOC is getting into the gas business and hence this merger will give the company
a chance to co-ordinate better the cryogenic manufacturing of IBP as it is currently
exploring synergies in the various businesses of the two companies. IOC is currently
exploring the explosives and chemicals business of IBP.
Tie up with IBP
Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) is exploring the possibility of using the expertise of
the engineering division of IBP, to further its interest in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG),
post IOC-IBP merger. The engineering division of IBP is involved in manufacturing
cryogenic containers for transporting gas.
IBP, in the past has decided to hive off its explosive business as it was not doing
very well. But IOC has decided to retain all the businesses for the time being and see how
the expertise of these businesses could be exploited.
IBP is the market leader in the cryogenics container segment which has another
major player INOX. The company is facing competition from foreign manufacturers,
especially China in the small container business. However the company still holds fort in
large containers due to import duty which is acting as a barrier to the international

players. The company is exploring the possibility of widening the market for cryogenic
containers in the form of new usage in the gas industry and bulk handling and transport of
low temperature products.
Proposed project in Nigeria
Indian Oil Corporation will set up its first overseas oil refinery in Nigeria as part
of its drive to expand globally.
IOC has been invited by the Edo State of Nigeria to set up a grassroot refinery.
The capacity of the refinery and the investments have not yet been firmed up.
However, IOC has conditioned building the refinery on the fiscal regime provided
by Edo, which produces Escravos and Forcados crude grades.
IOC, which has also bid for revamping the existing refineries in Nigeria, wants to
enter auto fuel retailing business too.
Oil-rich Nigeria has four refineries with a total capacity of 4,45,000 barrels per
day (22.5 million tonnes) but output of petroleum products is restricted to just 25 per cent
machines are old.
The West African nation has a total demand for 2,57,000 barrel per day (12.9
million tonnes) of petroleum products and the new refinery is proposed to feed Edo, one
of Nigeria's largest oil consuming states and exports to Europe.
IOC is keen on getting into oil exploration and production business in Nigeria, the
fifth largest oil producer with 2.6 million barrels per day output.
A stake in a property in the oil-rich Niger River Delta would not only give the
proposed refinery raw material but also send back home crude oil for IOC's seven
refineries.
Already, IOC refineries import both Escravos and Forcados grades of crude
produced by Shell International and Chevron Texaco in Edo.
With domestic margins shrinking due to increased competition, IOC is in an
expansion mode overseas. Besides looking for upstream opportunities for having its own
crude oil, the company has bid for upgrading Tehran and Tabriz refineries in Iran and
laying a 1,400 km pipeline in Sudan.
IOC, which has already acquired petrol stations in Sri Lanka and the Mauritius, is
also looking at retail opportunities in Thailand, Ghana and Indonesia.

Nigeria's estimated proven oil reserves range from 26 billion to 31.5 billion
barrels. The majority of these are found in relatively simple geological structures along
the country's coastal Niger River Delta.
Contract in Libya
Indian Oil Corporation and its partner Oil India Ltd. have won an oil block in
Libya in the first ever joint foray in oil and gas exploration overseas.
IOC-OIL won onshore block-086 in the highly prospective Sirte Basin.
Block-086 measures 7087 sq. km. and IOC-OIL consortium, which gave no
signing bonus, had bid 18.4% of production towards recovery of cost with the balance oil
being committed to the government of Libya.
Poly Isobutylene project proposal
Indian Oil Corporation is in talks with global petrochemical giants British
Petroleum, Mitsubishi and Daelim for setting up a Poly-isobutylene (PIB) plant at its
Panipat or Gujarat refinery.
The proposed plant envisages production of PIB for value addition as well as
import substitution for captive blending in 2T oils to meet emission standards of 2/3
stroke engines.
Feasibility study for manufacture of PIB has been explored.
Project is likely to cost Rs.200 crore including Rs.20 crore including Rs.20 crore
as foreign exchange component.
LPG pipelines
Having laid 10,000 km of crude and liquid product pipelines across the country
connecting its refineries, IOC has now set its sights on LPG pipelines to improve
profitability.
The company has also finalised its first ever natural gas pipeline project from
Dadri to Panipat (132 km).
Studies are under way to look into the possibility of setting up an ATF pipeline
connecting major airports, including Chennai and Bangalore.
The company is proposing to set up a 275-km LPG pipeline from Panipat refinery
in Uttar Pradesh to Jalandhar in Punjab.

As per initial estimates, the pipeline network would bring down the transportation
costs of LPG by 10-15 per cent.

The group has three cement plants with a total production capacity of four million
tonnes per annum (MTPA). While one of the plants, with a capacity of 1.5 million tonnes
per annum, is operating under Bela Cement Ltd. (BCL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Jaiprakash Industries Ltd. (JIL), the balance two plants with 2.5 million tonnes per annum
capacity are under JIL itself. All the three plants are located in Reva, in Madhya Pradesh.
The cement division is being hived off as a separate company prior to the planned
divestment in favour of the strategic partner.
The two plants currently under JIL are being hived off into BCL.

The cement business constitutes over 50 per cent of the total turnover of JIL and
over 15 to 20 per cent of the cement produced is consumed in-house by the group's
construction businesses.
Expansion project at Rewa
At Rewa, the company operates India's largest single-location cement complex,
with a capacity exceeding 5 million tonnes per annum, currently being expanded to 6.5
million tonnes by FY 2005.
Jaiprakash Industries proposes to implement a 1.5 million tonne brownfield
capacity expansion at its Rewa facility in Madhya Pradesh. Besides the capacity
expansion, the company also plans to set up two captive power plants at the Rewa facility
to remove the bottlenecks in the production process and reduce its power cost.
The proposed plans at the Rewa facility is estimated to cost about Rs.400 crore.
The proposed capacity expansion will take the total capacity of the Rewa facility
to 6 million tonnes per annum from the existing level of 4.6 million tonnes.
The expansion is expected to further strengthen Jaypee's market leadership in
Central India-UP, parts of MP and Bihar, where it claims 22% market share, ahead of its
nearest rival ACC.
The two captive power plants would have a capacity of 25 MW each. Of these,
the first one is expected to be commissioned shortly.

The Uranium Corporation of India Ltd., (UCIL) was established in 1967 as a
public sector enterprise, under the administrative control of the Department of Atomic
Energy, with the objective of Mining and Processing of Uranium ore to produce uranium
concentrate.
UCIL started it's operations in 1968 at Jaduguda with uranium ore mining and a
processing plant, each of 1,000 metric tonnes per day capacity.
Jaduguda Mine
Jaduguda Mine is the first mine opened by UCIL in 1968. Ore body in Jaduguda
has been prospected upto a depth of about 800 m below surface and it is expected that it
would continue further in depth.
UCIL's mining operations are mostly limited to the Singhbhum belt of Jharkhand
today. Among its mines, the Jadugoda mine is the oldest (1967), with Bhatin coming next
followed by the Narwapahar mine in April 1995. On an average, around 1,680 tonnes of
ore per day are extracted from the three mines currently.
The uranium process plant at Jadugoda extracts uranium from the ores of all the
three mines by a hydro-metallurgical process, resulting in the production of magnesium
di-uranate, commonly known as `yellow cake'. This is thickened and dried in the spray
dryer and finally packed in drums to be sent to the Nuclear Fuel Complex at Hyderabad
for further processing into uranium oxide pellets.
The project has been planned in two phases. While the total investment for Stage I
has been kept at Rs.79.92 crore, that of both the stages it is to be Rs.110 crore.
To meet the growing demand of uranium for nuclear power, UCIL has expanded
its activities both in mining and processing plants. The new mine has been opened at
Narwapahar. The processing plant at Jadguda has been expanded to process this extra ore.
Now the overall processing capacity of the Uranium Mill is 2090 MTPD.
Jaduguda mine is being deepened by sinking a III stage shaft to sustain the mine
production.
The operating units under UCIL at present are :
Underground Mines at Jaduguda, Bhatin Narwapahar, Ore Processing Plant at
Jaduguda for producing Uranium concentrate and Plants for uranium mineral recovery
from copper tailings at Mosaboni and Rakha. All the units are located in Singhbum (East)
Dist. Bihar.

The Narwapahar mine, 12 km north west of Jaduguda, is one of the most modern
mines in the country. The mine is designed to produce 1000 tonnes of ore per day.
Trackless mining equipment are in use for the first time in the country.
Turamdih project
The Turamdih project needed to be revived to augment the uranium production of
the corporation.
Located on the outskirts of Jamshedpur, the Turamdih mine project was initially
taken up in the early 1990s along with the Narwapahar mine project for development. A
mill too was, envisaged to process the ore from the two mines.
However, the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) had then scrapped the Turamdih
projects and in 1995 only the Narwapahar mine was commissioned while the existing
processing mill at Jadugoda saw expansion.
Mecon was commissioned to prepare the detailed project report for reviving the
Turamdih mine. At the time of abandonment in the early 1990s, the mine entries were
sealed. However, the underground workings got filled with water and after an elaborate
dewatering exercise, the mine has now been rehabilitated.
Procurement of under ground mining equipment including imported equipment
for the mine, is in an advanced stage. The ore body at Turamdih is likely to be accessed
soon.
In phase I the production is 550 tonnes of ore per day and once phase II is
completed it would go up to 750 tonnes per day.
Demand level
The country presently has 14 nuclear power stations in operation with an installed
capacity of 2,720 MW nuclear energy.
Four more projects, the Tarapore Atomic Power Project 3&4 (2x540 MW), the
Kalga Atomic Power Project 3&4 (2x220 MW), the Rajasthan Atomic Power Project
5&6 (2 x 220 MW) and the Kudamkulam Atomic Power Project 1&2, all of which are
under construction now, are expected to add another 3,960 MW power by 2007.
With the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) having outlined a plan to produce
4,020 MW nuclear power by the end of the 10th Plan -- and with the expansion plan
aiming at generating 20,000 MW of nuclear power by 2020 -- the need for uranium as the
primary fuel is expected to go up substantially.
The uranium being produced in the country has a 99.3 percent content of Uranium
235 and contains only a minuscule 0.7 percent of the power producing Uranium 238.

UCIL is the only source of uranium for the country and the sole producer of
Uranium 238.
Project in Andhra Pradesh
Keeping the demand situation in mind, UCIL has taken up some sites around the
country for construction of uranium mines and processing plants. Among its proposed
future projects are the Lambapur Peddagattu Uranium deposit in the Nalgoda district of
Andhra Pradesh
It is in the process of securing various clearances to commence work on the
Rs.617 crore project to tap huge uranium reserves in Andhra Pradesh aimed at supporting
fuel requirements of Nuclear Fuel Complex and heavy water plants.
The much delayed project, proposes to open up virgin mines and have a uranium
processing plant (mill).
The estimated ore resources in the Lambapur and Peddagattu areas of the district,
as per the Atomic Minerals Division (AMD), a unit of the Department of Atomic Energy
(DAE), is in the range of 11.02 million tonnes. The final usable uranium output would be
around 6,800 tonnes.
The UCIL mine and mill is targeted to generate about 155 tonnes per year of
uranium to fuel the expanding nuclear power reactor programme, which uses natural
uranium-pressurised heavy water reactors (PHWR).
In power generation terms, a typical, standard 220 MW, PHWR would require 40
tonnes of uranium fuel annually to generate electricity at high capacity factor (plant load
factor in thermal power plants).
The uranium mining project is economical, but concerns raised by
environmentalists and the fear psychosis among the local people is coming in the way of
implementation.
New explorations
To enhance nuclear fuel production capacity for the fast expanding programme of
the department of atomic energy (DAE), the Uranium Corporation of India Ltd. (UCIL)
has begun developing uranium mines at four new sites in the country.
UCIL has taken up the work to develop mines at Banduhurang and Bagjata in
Jharkhand, Lambapur in Nalgonda district in Andhra Pradesh and Domiasiat in
Meghalaya. This is in addition to the already existing four mines - Jaduguda,
Narwapahar, Bhatin and Turamdih in Jharkand. It is also working to exploit other
secondary fuel resources.

Meghalaya project
Uranium Corporation of India is close to kicking off its ill-fated Meghalaya
uranium mining venture which has been hanging fire. Pre-project activity is slated to
start.
Total investment in the mining project, including a uranium-ore processing plant
at the site, is pegged at Rs.800 crore. It's been nearly a decade since the project ran into
trouble after opposition from local non-government organisation (NGOs).
However, UCIL has recently received environment clearances from the
Meghalaya government while the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) has also
issued statutory approval. While the uranium ore processing plant is likely to be
operational in two years, the mine will start production in eight months. UCIL plans to
start mining before the processing plant goes on stream, top government officials total
ET.
Process adopted
Uranium is extracted from ore in the Jaduguda Mill by hydro-metallurgical
process. After three stages of crushing, the crushed ore undergoes two stages of wet
grinding. This slurry is pumped for leaching uranium in leaching vessels. The uranium
rich liquor is obtained by filtration and purified and concentrated employing ion
exchange resins. The Uranium is then precipitated from this concentrated liquor as
magnesium diuranate also known as yellow cake. This is thickened, washed filtered,
dried and packed in drums. These are then transported to the Nuclear Fuel Complex
(NFC) at Hyderabad for further processing into nuclear fuel.

Bharat Coking Coal Ltd.

(A Subsidiary of Coal India)
Materials Management Division
Koyla Bhawan, Level-V
P.O.Koyla Nagar
Dist.Dhanbad-826 005
Jharkhand, Bihar
6 Lyons Range, Kolkata -700 001
Product : Coal

Dhanbad-based Bharat Coking Coal Ltd., has a total of 78 mines, which includes
47 undergrounds 16 opencast and mixed ones.
This apart, it has six coking coal washeries and three non coking coal washeries.
The company has plans to revamp these washeries as the sales realisation of
washed coal is increasing in the aftermath of the beginning of the coal sales through
auction.
BCCL has started selling coal at market prices through e-auction using the B2B
portal of MSTC Ltd.
In the e-auction, the consumer registering with MSTC are free to choose coal of
appropriate quality and buy the same by offering the appropriate free market price.
Production
In the 2003-04 fiscal, BCCL has produced around 18.4 million tonnes of thermal
coal and 4.3 million tonnes of coking coal.
The company has been able to raise production in recent time couple through
contract mining.
It has set a production target of about 23.3 million tonnes (mt) for the 2004-2005
as against last year's production of about 22.3 million tonnes. Of the targeted production,
5-6 million tonnes would be coking coal and the balance 17-18 million tonnes would be
non-coking coal.

Project proposals
Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL), has agreed to augment coking coal production
capacity at its Monidihi underground mine by at least 40 lakh tonnes a year exclusively
for Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL)'s consumption.
The capacity will be created in two phases by replacing the existing long-wall
equipment at the mine with the latest long-wall technology.
The company agreed to take up the capacity creation programme in the aftermath
of a financial offer by SAIL, which recently offered to invest about Rs 311 crore for such
a programme.
A Rs.54-crore modernisation programme had recently been sanctioned by the
company's board.
In addition to this, Bharat Coking Coal is currently implementing a Rs.300-crore
modernisation programme to revamp the existing equipment and machines operating in
78 mines. Of the total operating mines, 16 are opencast while the rest are underground.
Long term plans
On the mining front also, BCCL is planning to amalgamate smaller underground
mines into few large mechanised mines to increase output and reduce cost. For opening
large opencast mines, steps have been initiated for fast-track development of
Kalyaneshwari project to produce 2 million tonne per annum medium coking coal plus 3
mmta non-coking coal. In a similar way, action has been initiated for amalgamating north
and south Tirsa to develop a 5 mmta open cast mine.
Besides, BCCL plans to develop new coal mines in and around the township of
Jharia in Bihar that will help it augment production capacity from 22 mmta to 30 mmta,
yielding additional revenue of Rs 700-800 crore.
BCCL has been allowed to develop an opencast coal mine utilising the reserves of
Kalysaneswari block in West Bengal. The 150 million tonnes will be developed through
global outsourcing of all jobs.
Project plans
Approving the Rs.5,792 crore action plan, the Planning Commission has advised
BCCL to implement it within 10 years instead of a 20 year timeframe formulated earlier
in response to the directive by the Supreme Court in 2003.
The JAP has components such as fire control at 34 projects in 40 mines and
stabilisation of 121 fire bearing mine sites.

Coal India Ltd. (CIL) has thus decided to increase Stowing Exercise duty from
Rs.5.5 to Rs.10 per tonne of coal produced by all its production subsidiaries, while a levy
at the rate of Rs.6 per tonne will be charged on all CIL's profit making companies. These
two measures would help generate about Rs.350 crore per annum, the entire money being
spent on implementation of JAP.
The first mine fire at Jharia Coalfields was detected in 1916. In subsequent years,
the fire spread due to unscientific mining practices employed during the prenationalisation period.
BCCL, when it was incorporated in 1972, inherited 70 mine fires (covering 17 sq.
kms). About 37 million tonnes of coal have been lost in the fire.
A committee constituted by the Directorate General of Mine Safety (DGMS) has
said stabilisation of fire-bearing mines was not a permanent solution as lives of people
living in coal bearing areas would be endangered in the long run. Rehabilitation of people
in the affected area would require building 15,000 houses.
Performance
Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL), one of the two loss-making subsidiaries of Coal
India Ltd, is all set for a turnaround this fiscal, with expectation of profit-earning of Rs
70-80 crore by the end of 2005-06.
Along with Eastern Coalfields Ltd (ECL), BCCL was the only loss-making unit of
Coal India Ltd (CIL). The company had incurred a loss of Rs 569.85 crore and cash loss
in excess of Rs 300 crore in 2003-04. This improved to a loss of Rs 199 crore in 2004-05.
However, as per estimates of the first nine-month period (April-Dec 2005-06) of
the current fiscal, the company has achieved break-even, earning a profit of Rs 1.66 crore
as against losses of Rs 259.35 crore.
All these efforts have resulted, among other things, in improving coal production
that for the first time since 1999-2000 is registering positive growth in 2005-06, with
growth of 1.25% in the April-December period of 2005, BCCL has informed.

The Bihar-based Riga Sugar Co Ltd plans to go either for a public issue or a GDR
(global depository receipt) to raise funds for its capacity expansion-cum-diversification
programme.
The unit of Riga Sugar is located at Sitamarhi district of Bihar. Its existing
capacity is 2,500 tonnes crushed per day (tcd). In the first phase, which would end by
November 2006, the capacity would be increased to 4,200 tcd.
Subsequently, in the second phase the capacity would be further increased to
5,000 tcd. Capacity of the baggase-based co-generation power plant would be increased
from 7 MW to 19 MW in 2007-08.
Riga Sugar is also setting up an ethanol plant of 45 kilolitres per day (klpd)
capacity and an ENA plant of 25 klpd. The distillery would be situated in the same
location and it would be ready by the year-end.
