...... -·: Ministry. After detailed examination of the relevant documents ·.,,-;.: '..:.

.· . -: ~ .':

and the provisions of the Wood Based Industries (Regulation)

Guidelines, 2016 (as amended in 20 17), the following points

emerges:

(a) The State of Uttar Pradesh has amended the Uttar Pradesh

Establishment and Regulation of Saw Mills Rules in 2018 to

bring the Rules in conformity with MoEFCC Guidelines as

envisaged in MoEFCC Guidelines.

(b) The State of Uttar Pradesh has reconstituted the State Level

Committee (SLC) under the chairmanship of Principal Chief

Conservator of Forest/Head of the Forest Department, Uttar

Pradesh as envisaged in MoEFCC Guidelines.

(c) Assessment of availability of timber in the State was done

by SLC in 2018 through Forest Survey of India. According

to the report submitted by FSI, a total of 77.7 4 lakh cu. m. " '· " of timber is available per year from Trees Outside Forests

(TOF). It is also seen from the documents submitted by the

State Government that around 2.56 lakh cu. M. of timber

was available in the State from forest area. Thus, a total of

80.30 lakh cu. m of timber is available in the State.

(d) The State has estimated annual consumption of timber by

wood based industries of different categories based on the

Ministry's Guidelines and decisions taken by CEC.

(e) Based on the total number and capacity of existing wood

based industries in the State, the total capacity of these

year. Thus, as per available documents, a total of38.74lakh

cu. m. of timber per year is available in the State. The State

the State by way of appropriate study on demand and supply as

and when it decides. It further states that SLC shall devise a

suitable mechanism for sustainable utilization of timber in a way

that does not affect the forests of the area adversely.

7. That Para 4 (ii) of the Wood Based Industries (Establishment and

Regulation) Guidelines, 2016 (as amended) states that SLC shall

approve the name of wood based industries which may "l?,e ~

considered for grant of fresh license or enhancement of the

existing licensed capacity in case the SLC is satisfied that timber

is available legally for the said new Wood Based Industries (such

as Trees Outside Forest, Forests etc.).

8. That based on the examination of available documents in light of

the provisions of the Wood Based Industries (Establishment and

Regulation) Rules, 2016, MoEFCC is of the opinion that the State

of U.P. has followed the Wood Based Industries (Establishment

and Regulation) Guidelines, 2016 (as amended in 2017) issued by

' MoEFCC. The availability of wood in the State has also been

assessed by the SLC through FSI. The Ministry is, therefore, of

the view that the SLC may approve setting up of new industries in

the State if it is satisfied that sufficient timber is available legally

to run the new wood based industries.

orders as it may deem fit in the given circumstances of the case.

Annexure I

Assessment of Timber Requirement

The IndiariPiywoqd Industry Research and Training Institute (IPIRTI), Bangalore an autonomous body under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has assessed the timber requirement per unit for peding length of 4 feet and 8 feet size in the plywood/veneer units as 5 cu.mt. and II cu.mt. resp ectively per day on an average of 8 working hours per day. By assuming that the peeling units work for 8 hours per day or. an average for 300 days in a year the normal timber requirement of the peeling length of 4 feet size in veneer !!nits is 1500 cu.mt. The total timber requirement for the stand alone veneer units may be assessed by calculating the equivalent number of 4 feet length machines and by talqing its normal .installed capacity as 1500 cu.mt. per annum

The timber requirement of a. plywood unit may be taken as 'nil' on the ground that the round timber is used as timber in the veneer umts only and that the plywood.u.~its are· th"e secondarY users which use the veneer as the raw material produced by the vcnc..:r units. The plywood units use presses of various· sizes such as 8x4x6, 8x4x 12, 8x4x 15, 4x4x7, 4x4x I 0. A Sx4x 10 capacity press can produce upto 10 plywood pieces·of 8'x4' size per hour whereas a 8x4x 15 ~apacity pres.s can ·produce upto 15 plywood pieces of 8'x4' size per hour and so on. The norrnati,;e installed capacity. of th<' plywood units will accordingly depend upon the number and the type of presses. This number and type ofptesses installeci in each of the plywood unit may be assessed and thereafter equivalent number or presses of 8x4x 10 capacity niay be calculated. The normative annual timber requirement for a integrated plywood unit having a 8 x 4 x 10 capacity press may be taken as 2000 cu.rnt. per annum, and accordingiy the total requirement of timber for the plywood units should be calculated.
