2. Introduction of the project a) Identification of project

The role of the pesticides in the well-being of human race needs no emphasis. Pesticide usage has become essential in order to maximize agriculture production and reduce public health pestilence. The rapid changes in cropping patterns, increased fertilization and adoption of programs for high yielding varieties have all contributed to increased use of pesticides. Further, pest problems keep on changing with the changing environment. New physiological kinds evolve as a result of mutations to withstand new conditions in nature. Many pest species develop resistant strains when the same Pesticide is used far too often. The problems of pest resurgence and secondary pest out-breaks crop up with the indiscriminate use of pesticides. These associated problems offer a great scope for revolutionizing the use of pesticides. However, in India though the overcall pesticide growth figures may appear impressive, the rate of consumption per hectare of cultivated land is very low in comparison per hectare of cultivated land is very low in comparison to other countries. India used 180 g of pesticides/ha. as against 10,790g, 1870 g and 1490 g/ha used in Japan, Europe and U.S.A. respectively. India spent just Rs. 2.15/ha. on pesticides while Japan and U.S.A spent Rs.110/ha and Rs.35/ha respectively during the same period. India consumed 12 gm. of pesticides per kg. of fertilizer used against 146 gm. in Japan in and 19 gm in U.S.A in . This is one of the major factors that can be attributed to low per hectare yields in our country since the crops and especially the high yielding varieties cannot manifest their production potential in absence of proper pest protection. That the production potential remains suppressed for want of protection can be exemplified by considering how in wheat, a crop comparatively resistant to insect pestilence, we have had a “revolution” whereas in paddy which is one of the most heavily infested crops, we have had no break-through. In case of wheat, the per hectare yield in India rose from 827 kg. in to 1338 kg. in or responding yields of paddy in India on the other hand was 1826 kg. as against 6185 kg. 5326 kg. , 5105 kg. and 4000 kg. in Japan, Egypt, USA and USSR respectively.

Within the country itself, there is a great imbalance between different regions with regard to the use of pesticides. Of the total of approximately Rs.5000 million spent on pesticides in at the farm level, south contributed for about 45 per cent of the total consumption in the rest of the country.

No. F35429 dated 12-08-2004. It specifies the name of products including liquid as well as solid enlisting 72 products.

In 2006, the CCIPL applied for NOC to UPPCB for manufacturing Clodinafop Propargyl Technical for research purpose to the tune of 25 Kg per day and 15% wettable powder thereof for trial marketing. Later, the UPPCB granted NOC and Consent for the capacity of 100 Kg per day of Clodinafop Propargyl Technical.

The proposed expansion project is for increasing the production capacity of Clodinafop- propargyl (technical) from existing 30 MTPA to 300 MTPA.

d) Need for the project

As per market survey, the requirement of this product is very high based on the area of Wheat cultivation, which is in more than 26 million hectare. The major markets are in the state of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh & Uttarakhand and minor usage states are Bihar, Uttar Pradesh & Gujarat. The total consumption of technical is more than 1800 MT in the country including Export. The proposed project “The Expansion of Clodinafop-Propargyl Technical from 30 MT to 300 MT per annum” is planned as per the increasing market requirements. In addition, the Company has bigger plans to export to other Wheat growing countries through its parent company, Chemtura Corporation USA that is having its business in 120 countries across the world.

The Clodinafop-Propargyl technical is used to formulate Clodinafop-Propargyl 15% Wettable Powder, Clodinafop-Propargyl 8% Emulsifiable Concentrate and Clodinafop-Propargyl 24% Emulsifiable Concentrate along with the proportion of 25% Cloquintocet Mexyl (Safener) in the wheat crop to control certain tough weeds. The present project is envisaged to increase the technical capacity in the Plant to fulfil the additional market requirement and to reduce the cost of technical manufacturing, which will facilitate the formulated product to the customer (Farmers) at lower price.

e) Demand Supply Gap

Clodinafop- propargyl is used as an Herbicide in the form of 15% Wettable Powder, Clodinafop-Propargyl 24% EC and Clodinafop-Propargyl 8 % EC with dilution in water on the crop of Wheat. The total area of wheat crop in the country which consumes the product is more than 26 million hectare.

The major markets are in the state of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh & Uttrakhand and minor usage states are Bihar, Uttar Pradesh & Gujarat. The total consumption of technical is more than 1800 MT in the country along with Export to various countries. The current indigenous generation is only about 50% of the total demand. Chemtura intends to fill this gap by increasing production capacity from 30 MT to 300 MT.

f) Import vs. Indigenous production

Chemtura is always focusing on manufacturing of products locally so that country will get benefits of growth, employment and infrastructure etc. The total consumption of technical is more than 1800 MT in the country along with Export to various countries. The current indigenous generation is only about 50% of the total demand. About 10-20% of raw materials only will be imported to manufacture proposed technical after expansion.

g) Export Possibility:
