I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Industrial development is unprecedented in Tamilnadu, in the last one decade. The
Infrastructural support of Government is rated as an important reason for it. The
mushrooming of Industries and growth strategy in cluster require check and regulation. The
precious land and water resources required close evaluation for its optimal utilization
which is handy and possible only with government initiatives.
The proposed Industrial Park at Tuticorin in the Southern Tamilnadu is an initiative of the
Government to support the growth of Industries in cluster as an Environmentally Balancing
Industrial Complex (EBIC). This IP will be complimented for growth by the nearby Port and
mushrooming Power Plant projects in the project location.
The project proponent is State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamilnadu (SIPCOT)
which is the Industrial Infrastructure promoting organization of Government of Tamilnadu
(GoTN).
SIPCOT is the nodal agency of Government of Tamilnadu, established in the year 1971 to
develop industrial Zones with developed lands for promoting industrial growth in
Tamilnadu. The objective of SIPCOT is to establish, develop, maintain and manage industrial
complexes, parks and growth centres at various places across the State of Tamil Nadu.
SIPCOT has so far developed 19 Industrial Complexes in 12 districts and Seven Sector
Specific Special Economic Zones (SEZs) across Tamilnadu. SIPCOT also acts as a Nodal
Agency of Government of Tamil Nadu in the sanction / disbursement of Structured Package
of Assistance to large industrial units.
SIPCOT's role in assisting the industrialization in the State is not only quantitative but also
qualitative. Instead of just accelerating the pace of industrial growth in already developed
and densely populated areas, SIPCOT strives to ensure that disbursal of financial incentives
result in spurt of industrial growth in backward and rural areas which is hitherto in
developed areas.
Tuticorin is already an important location for industrial development with VOC Port. SIPCOT
Industrial Complex which is functioning since 1990 with major industries like Sterlite
PROJECT PRE FEASIBILITY Tuticorin Industrial Park SIPCOT/GoTN
CEHS/Annamalai University & ITCOT
Copper, Ramesh Flowers, Kilburn Chemicals, etc,. Considering the demand for further
industrial development with increased activities of VOC Port and growing number of
Thermal power plants in the vicinity of Tuticorin, SIPCOT proposes to develop an industrial
park in Therkuveerapandiyapuram and Meelavittan revenue limits, adjoining the existing
Industrial Complex. It is proposed with a view to develop Engineering & allied industries for
which demand for industrial space is growing.
The proposed Industrial park is envisaged to accommodate industries that fall under listed
Project Activities or Sectors under the purview of Environmental Clearance viz., Thermal
Power Plants 1(d)-B Category only, Metallurgical Industries 3(a), Cement Grinding-3(b)-B
Category only, Induction/Arc Furnaces/Cupola Furnaces 5TPH or more 5(k), Petroleum
refining industry-4(a) and Petro-chemical complexes 5(c). However, in the case of Thermal
Power Plants 1(d) and Cement industries 3(b) only Category B will be given land allotment;
where as in the rest of the four proposed Sectors, both A and B as categorized in EIA
Notification, 2006 and amendments thereof, will be considered for allotment.
The Park will also accommodate other industries that are not classified under EIA
Notification but classified by Tamilnadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) viz. red, ultra
red, orange or green.
The proposed IP will have area of more than 500 Hectare and will house any such listed
industrial classification as member industries. Hence, as per the EIA Amendment
Notification of 2009, SIPCOT prefer to get Environmental Clearance under 7(c) and as A
Category.
The location of the industrial park is falling under the revenue villages of
Therkuveerapandiyapuram and Meelavittan in Ottapidaram and Tuticorin Taluk, Tuticorin
District. The park will be established without causing any environmental impact and with
the active support and involvement of local population. The proposed industrial park would
therefore result in better utilization of land resources and manpower.
The industrial park will be developed with road, water, and ancillary infrastructure as per
International Standards. SIPCOT will provide new link roads, in addition to existing ones.
The new roads will be made as 4 vehicles channel with central divider. SIPCOT will get
PROJECT PRE FEASIBILITY Tuticorin Industrial Park SIPCOT/GoTN
CEHS/Annamalai University & ITCOT
internal roads to cover the spreading of member industries in 609.05 Ha of the proposed
location. Service lanes will be provided in parallel to main roads to enable quick and careful
traffic.
Common Parking areas and exclusive service roads for the industries will be developed
strategically while finalizing the member industries. Member industries will be mandated to
establish their independent parking area depending upon their specific requirements.
The lands will be allotted to potential industries and its extent and size will be based on the
comprehensive assessment of their application in terms of investment, technology,
employment, etc.
The water to the tune of 2 MGD will be made available through Water Drawing facility from
River Tamiraparani. Industries will be mandated to have “Zero Discharge” for establishing
the respective industries.
The member industries will be mandated to have Emission Stack cleaning systems, Effluent
Treatment Plants and arrangements to ensure safe disposal of their hazardous and non-
hazardous solid wastes.
SIPCOT will have green curtain in the peripheral areas and along the roadside. SIPCOT will
adhere to the standards for developing green belt.
II. INTRODUCTION
The proposed Industrial park is envisaged to accommodate industries that fall under listed
Project Activities or Sectors under the purview of Environmental Clearance. However, in the
case of Thermal Power Plants (1d) and Cement industries only Category B where as in the
rest of the four proposed Sectors, both A and B as categorized in EIA Notification, 2006 and
amendments thereof. The Park will also accommodate other industries that are not
classified in the EIA Notification but classified by Tamilnadu Pollution Control Board
(TNPCB) viz. red, ultra red, orange or green.
The proposed IP will have area of more than 500 Hectare (609.05 Ha) is proposed for the
development of IP and will have industries that are classified for Environmental Clearance
and are Categorized A and B, as per EIA Notification 2006. Hence, SIPCOT prefers to get
Environmental Clearance under 7(C), as A Category for the proposed TUTICORIN SIPCOT IP.
PROJECT PRE FEASIBILITY Tuticorin Industrial Park SIPCOT/GoTN
CEHS/Annamalai University & ITCOT
The IP is proposed to make use of the lands optimally for the development of industries
and more importantly to regulate their growth in the project location.
2.1 PROJECT
The proposed Industrial Park (IP) is named as SIPCOT Tuticorin Industrial Park.
The total land area of the Industrial Park would be 609.05 Ha of lands falling in the revenue
villages of Therkuveerapandiyapuram and Meelavittan Villages, Ottapidaram and Tuticorin
Taluk, Tuticorin District.
Government of Tamilnadu accorded Administrative approval for the setting up of Industrial
Park vide GO.Ms.No.233, Industries (MIG-2) Dept. dated 18.12.1996.A copy of the
Administration sanction is attached as Enclosure-I.
SIPCOT will develop the physical infrastructure such as road, water, and other amenities
and allot the developed plots to the potential industries based on the comprehensive
assessment of Investment, technology, employment, expert, compliance to environmental
regulations, etc.,
The allottees will be allowed to establish and operate the industries only after compliance
of mandatory regulations.
The proposed IP is in the adjoining location of another operating Industrial Park called
SIPCOT Tuticorin Industrial Park, also run by SIPCOT.
SIPCOT will ensure the incorporation of “Zero Discharge” concept and deploy the best
practices for resource management and pollution control.
2.2 NEED FOR THE PROJECT
The demand for industrial space in the vicinity of Tuticorin is growing steadily due to
favorable industrial climate. The VOC Port which is by 15 Km from the project location is
the potential reason for industrial development.
The project location is presently getting ready with six new thermal power plants which will
eventually produce more than 12000 MW will support such industrial growth. SIPCOT has
many queries from several industrial houses and entrepreneurs for developed industrial
plots in this location.
PROJECT PRE FEASIBILITY Tuticorin Industrial Park SIPCOT/GoTN
CEHS/Annamalai University & ITCOT
2.3 DEMAND – SUPPLY
The major industries like Sterlite Copper, Kiln Burn Chemicals, Ramesh Flowers, etc., and six
numbers of Thermal Power Plants, etc., in the project vicinity are the potential sources of
business for the member industries in the proposed.
VOC Port is enhancing its activities with respect to Cargo types and quantity and hence
expansion of industries in the nearby locations is environmentally compatible.
These operating industries which are having varied operations from Chemicals, Metal ore
processing, mineral processing, coal based power plants, etc., do have a support potential
for further growth of industries.
Such requirements if could be sourced locally, the major industries will operate with much
better output and product quality. The establishment of listed industries in the proposed IP
will also bring more employment opportunities.
2.4 IMPORTS VS INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION
The presence of VOC Port nearby will boost further the scope of imports and export any
indigenous products. Hence, the member industries can go in multifold with import and
export trade of any commodity.
The proposed IP is specifically envisaged for promoting large or medium scale and hence
there is a huge potential with respect to marketing trade of any commodity from the
member industries.
2.5 EXPORT POSSIBILITY
The demand for industrial products and project components from India is growing in South
East Asian countries also in the developed countries in sectors like Computer hardware,
Pharma products, Agro chemicals and Heavy engineering products.
The indigenous production of such products will boost the opportunity to export.
Nevertheless, as whole, India is ranking second only to China in the domain of International
Export Business.
PROJECT PRE FEASIBILITY Tuticorin Industrial Park SIPCOT/GoTN
CEHS/Annamalai University & ITCOT
The proposed IP with the listed classified will have all Infrastructures to make the proposed
IP as export hub in Tuticorin with the advantage of VOC Port which do the cargo handling of
32 MTPA.
2.6 DOMESTIC / EXPORT MARKETS
The proposed IP will enable the member industries to acquire the quality Standards as per
the requirement of International Standards.
The infrastructure from SIPCOT will enable the member industries for getting quality
product with trained manpower, available readily in the project location. The Advantage of
VOC Port is a key factor that will help the member industries in both Domestic and Export
market for their products.
The proximity to another Industrial Estates and better connectivity by air/road/sea/rail will
make this possibility as more viable and workable.
2.7 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION
SIPCOT will ensure to keep the point of employment opportunities as prime criteria to
allocate developed plots to industrial applicants.
609.05 Ha of land could possibly house more than 20 large scale units as member industries
that should make huge potential of employment for skilled and unskilled workers.
In the absence of details on member industries, it is difficult to assess the employment
generation. However, SIPCOT envisions creating employment opportunities for not less
than 5000 people of varied qualification and competence, directly in the proposed IP
Nevertheless, the proposed IP will also enable atleast another 5000 people to have some
means of employment indirectly to support the activities of the member industries.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project is an IP to promote industries in cluster of varied nature, type and
category in 609.05 Ha of land.

4.2 LAND SURVEY
The proposed land of 609.05 Ha is almost plain terrain with no notified forest or water
courses in the project impact area of 10 km radius from the project location.
The land is predominantly barren with industrial development nearby. The use of land
under agriculture is fast becoming lesser and the absence of irrigation systems is making
any sustained agriculture as not feasible.
The proposed land is approved by government of Tamilnadu for the development of the
proposed industrial estate.
The Contour and Topo Map is under preparation and will be evaluated in the
Environmental Impact Assessment studies.
4.3 TOPOGRAPHY
The topography of the project site is presented in Fig 4.1, using Map info with the Maps
of Survey of India.
4.4 LAND USE PATTERN
