1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The company started small with a single factory and a simple product on offer – Fevicol- a
synthetic resin adhesive for use in carpentry and woodworking. The brand name “Fevicol” as
coined by the company means freedom from cumbersome animal fat that was until then the only
available glue.
The first modern manufacturing plant for pigments and emulsions is set up in Kondivita village,
Andheri (W), Mumbai; which today serves as the corporate head-office of Pidilite.
Fevicol makes its mark and is established as the carpenter’s preferred choice of synthetic adhesive
that is reliable and durable.
In 1990, the name Pidilite Industries Pvt. Ltd. is incorporated. Thus, the first step towards brand
recognition is taken.
We develop most of our products in-house with the help of a strong, research-driven innovation
overlaid with consumer insights. A well-equipped and well-staffed R&D centre continuously
develops and enhances products for consumers, craftsmen and industries.
Pidilite also established a state-of-the-art research centre in Singapore that is now a member of
Singapore Chemical Industry Council (SCIC).
Pidilite is a socially responsible business. We believe in giving back to our community. As a result of
this, over the last five decades, our commitment to be socially aware and responsible in the
community has remained unchanged.
We support a number of projects related to Rural Development, Education and Healthcare to
socially-uplift the community and support sustainable development.
Over 100 small & medium-sized projects have been undertaken in relation to water conservation
and watershed development. These include construction of new dams, repair and renovation of old
dams, digging and deepening ponds and percolation tanks.
Shri Balvant Parekh Science City was founded by Pidilite at Bhavnagar. Replete with facilities like
conference hall, computer unit, physics laboratory and library, this Science City uses novel methods
to generate interest among students and helps develop analytical skills among them.
Since its inception, Hanumant Hospital has successfully treated over 2,25,000 patients and
provides comprehensive healthcare facilities to low-income families. It is a recognized centre for
treatment of TB patients, HIV patients and also an approved vaccination centre.
Applicability of EIA Notification 2006
The proposed project is Expansion of existing manufacturing facility at C 58, Mahad MIDC. The
proposed site is in MIDC Notified Industrial estate, Mahad. The MIDC industrial estate falls within
2.5 KM of village Kamble Tarf Birwadi which is declared Ecologically sensitive by the Dr
Kasturiranghan committee vide OM of MoEF dt 13.11.2013. The SLEAC Maharashtra has held that
any project within 5km of a village classified as Eco sensitive be treated as a Category A project as
per OM dt 25th June 2014 of the MOEF. Thus, the project category is 5 (f) & it falls under Screening
Category A of the EIA notification dated 14-09-2006 & Order dated 25.06.2014 and therefore
requires prior Environmental Clearance from the Ministry of Environment & Forests, NewDelhi.

2.2 Brief description of nature of the project.
After the success of the chemical plants at Mahad (Maharastra), Vapi (Gujarat), Baddi
(Himachal Pradesh) & Kala Amb (Himachal Pradesh), the company now proposes to expand its
existing Homopolymer production facility at the Mahad C 58 unit. The homopolymers
manufactured at the Mahad unit is the basic raw material for manufacturing adhesives, viz;
Fevicol-SH, Speedx, Marine, etc, used in wood working. The expansion will consist of additional
production equipments. The capacities of other necessary support infra-structure like Waste
Water Treatment plant and other required utilities like Boilers, Cooling tower & DM Plant are
adequate to cater to the expanded capacity. The present 320 KVA Diesel Generator set is
proposed to be replaced with 500 KVA D.G.Set.

2500 MT/MONTH
2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region,
Proposed project is needed to serve increasing demand from export & domestic market.
Benefits of the project are manifold:
• To cater to demand in domestic (west zone) market.
• Export of finished goods will earn foreign exchange for the country. In the last fiscal
year (2013-14), the group’s turnover is about INR 4283.20 crores.
• The project will create employment to over 140 persons directly and indirectly on a
permanent basis besides the temporary jobs created during the project phase.
The proposed project is necessitated because of the following reasons:
• To meet market demands of West zone & Exports
• Reduce operational costs and increase productivity.
• Upgradation of the infrastructure in the facility.
Its importance to the country can be accounted by
• Add to foreign exchange generated by Exports.
• Ensure continued employment to existing workforce without affecting work conditions
and hence supporting their families.
• Lead to generation of direct and indirect employment opportunities.
• Reduce dependence on Imports hence reducing Forex risks.
2.4 Demand-Supply Gap.
The adhesives manufactured from the homopolymer, viz; Fevicol-SH, Speedx, Marine, etc are
already manufactured at some of the units within the group. Demand for these proposed
products already exists in the world markets and this project is envisaged to meet the
expanding domestic & global demand for these molecules.
Presently the homopolymer which is proposed to be expanded, is manufactured at the unit at C
58, MIDC Mahad unit. Present capacity, actual dispatch ( for 12-13, 13-14) and the market
projection for next 5 years is as given in below table.

As per the capacity requirement there is need for additional capacity for these products.
Also presently these products being manufactured at Mahad location, caters to the
requirements of west zone in the country and fulfills export requirements.
This expansion of the capacity will enable to meet the domestic & export future demands.
2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous production.
70% Raw materials will be imported to manufacture proposed products.
2.6 Export Possibility.
Possibly approx. 25% of the total production will be exported.
2.7 Domestic / export Markets.
Rest of the approx. 75% of total production will be sold to domestic market.
2.8 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project.
For proposed project direct & indirect employment generation will be approximately to 140
nos.

3.2 Location (map showing general location, specific location, and project boundary & Project
site layout) with coordinates.
Latitude: 18.08° 5’ 0” N
Longitude: 73.41° 25' 0" E
Detailed site plan is attached as Annexure-1 • The unit has total 6,750 sq.m. of land area. Green belt development will be 338 sq.m.
• The site is located within Mahad, MIDC Industrial area, hence there is no agricultural or

3.3 Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site,
particularly the environmental considerations gone into should be highlighted,
It is proposed to enhance the capacity of the existing facility to improve productivity & reduce
manufacturing costs at minimum possible investment, by addition of Reactor, Blenders, Hold
tanks, Day tanks & Pumps. The capacity of the existing Waste water treatment facility &
utilities – boiler, cooling tower, D.M Water plant is sufficient to cater to the proposed enhanced
capacity. The plant building needs to be extended to accommodate the additional equipments.
Hence, alternate sites were not considered.
3.4 Size or magnitude of operation.
M/s. Pidilite Industries Ltd. is a large scale industry. The total monthly production capacity
after the completion of proposed expansion will be 2500 MT/month
