1.1 S.M. Environmental Technologies (P) Ltd.
a) Plant Description S M Environmental Technologies (P) Ltd. is 8.0 MW biomass based power plant and is
located at Village Pachhar, Chhipabarod, Baran District. The plant was commissioned on 11th
March, 2010. The plant has been stopped since 15th Sept., 2010 because of heavy vibrations in
TG set and the rotor has been sent for repair. As per discussion with plant head, the plant was
recommissioned on 18th Feb., 2011. The specifications of major equipments of the power plant
are as following:

It can be seen from the figure above that seasonal landed cost of biomass varies from Rs. 1348/MT to Rs. 1350/MT while off –season landed cost of biomass varies from Rs. 1150/MT to as high as Rs. 1600/MT. (landed cost is very low in November as biomass quantity has to be adjusted due to physical audit being carried out).
e) Trend of Landed Cost It can be seen from the table below that landed cost of biomass has gone up from Rs.
500/MT in FY 2008-09 to as high as Rs. 1426/MT in FY 2010-11. The % increase in landed cost in
FY 2010-11 with respect to previous year is around 27%.

1505 MT to Rs. 2473 in various months of FY 2010-11 (note that landed cost for months of June, July,
August and September has not been considered as purchase quantum has been very low in these
months but high transportation cost from collection center to power plant has made overall cost of
biomass purchase very high in these months).
