Capacity expansion of DSCL Sugar-Hariawan from 10,000TCD unit along with 24 MW Cogeneration Power Plant to
18,000TCD Unit along with 70 MW Cogeneration Power Plant

DCM Shriram Ltd. Sugar factories are located in Ajbapur, Rupapur, Hariawan and Loni in Uttar
Pradesh, with a combined installed capacity of 33,000 TCD (tonnes crushed daily) and a power-
generating capacity of 115 MW. The Hybrid seed operations- ‘Bioseed’ started in Hyderabad
(India) and now have a global footprint with presence in Vietnam, Philippines and Indonesia.
The promoters having learnt from the operation of the unit strongly believe that there is ample
scope for Sugarcane based unit in the State of Uttar Pradesh.

iii) Need for the Project and its importance to the country and or region
Sugarcane is generally regarded as one of the most significant and efficient sources of biomass
for bio‐fuel (ethanol) production. Sugarcane offers production alternatives to food, such as feed,
fibre and energy, particularly co‐generation of electricity and ethanol. In India, sugar is an
essential item of mass consumption and the cheapest source of energy, supplying around 10
percent of the daily calorie intake. India is the second largest producer of sugar (16.3 million-ton
production in 2008‐09) and India is the largest consumer of sugar in the world. As per the latest
production data, MY 2016/17 sugar production is estimated at 21.9 MMT, down by 8.4 percent
from the previous estimate and almost 20 percent below last year’s production. As a result, total
sugar supplies are limited to 32.6 MMT, which is just enough to meet the out-year consumption
and stock requirements. For the third time in recent years, Indian sugar production dropped
below consumption (25.6 MMT). Maharashtra and UP will contribute 22 percent and 43 percent
respectively, of total production (crystal weight basis).
DSCL Sugar- Hariawan is proposing for capacity expansion of 10,000 TCD to 18,000 TCD of
sugarcane based unit along with Cogeneration Power Plant of 24 MW to 70 MW located at
Village & P.O – Hariawan, District- Hardoi-241405(U.P.). The proposed expansion of sugar mill
plant will play an important role in upliftment of the socio economic condition of the region
particularly nearby villages.

iv) Consumption
India’s centrifugal sugar production in marketing year (MY) 2017/18 (Oct-Sept) is expected to
increase by 18 percent to 25.8 million metric tons (MMT). Uttar Pradesh will be the largest
producer of sugar in India, followed by Maharashtra.
Out-year sugar consumption is forecast to recover to 26 MMT, a marginal increase from the 25.6
MMT estimated for current year. Bulk consumers account for two-thirds of total sugar
consumption in India. Over the last six months, moderate sugar demand from soft drink
manufacturers, bakeries, hotels, restaurants, and other bulk and individual users led to a
decrease in aggregate demand, matched by relatively lower sales reported by sugar mills. The
disruption in the flow of currency following India’s demonetization in November 2016 is the

likely explanation for this dip. Most khandsari sugar is consumed by local sweet shops and gur is
mostly consumed in rural households and for feed use. India’s stable economy, rising incomes,
growing young population, and changing consumption patterns are key drivers for food
consumption.
v) Sugarcane Production and Marketing policy

The GOI supports research, development, training of farmers, transfer of new varieties, and
improved production technologies (seed, implements, pest management) to sugarcane growers
as to raise yields and recovery rates. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research conducts
sugarcane research and development at the national level. State agricultural universities,
regional research institutions, and state agricultural extension agencies support these efforts at
the regional and state levels. Central and state governments also support sugarcane growers by
ensuring finances and input supplies at affordable prices. To increase the area of cultivation and
production in the country, the GOI has implemented the “Sustainable Development Fund of
Sugarcane Based Cropping System Area under Macro Management Mode of Agriculture”
program in various sugarcane growing states. Additionally, under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas
Yojana (National Agriculture Development Program), state governments have the flexibility to
choose priorities for crop development projects, including sugarcane. Per media reports, the
Union Budget 2017/18 (April-March) allocated about $76 million under the Sugar Development
Fund to provide assistance in the form of interest to sugar mills towards working capital loans of
about $980 million. The GOI projects a sugar tax collection of about $460 million. At the current
exchange rate, the GOI collects $3.58 per MT of sugar produced by mills in support of the
Sugarcane Development Fund (SDF), which is used to support research, extension, and
technological improvement in the sugar sector.

As of April 1, 2017, the GOI will stop providing the INR 18.50/kilogram subsidy on sugar to states
for selling it via public distribution system (PDS) at ration shops. A sum of about $3 billion was
allocated in the Union Budget 2017/18 for clearing past claims by state governments. Earlier, the
GOI continued to subsidize sugar for consumers by allowing state governments to procure sugar
from the market through open tenders. The gap between open market prices and PDS sale
prices/retail issue price was covered by the GOI. Following two years of deregulation of sale of
sugar, the GOI in 2015 reviewed the ‘decontrol of sugar marketing’ and allowed states/Union
Territories to either absorb the additional cost, if any, on account of handling, transportation
and dealer’s commission or pass it on to consumers by including it in the retail issue price (INR
13.50 per kg). The new system was adopted by 30 states/Union Territories (UTs). Industry
sources expect that the sugar industry will continue to be subject to production controls by state

governments, including sugar industry licensing, specified cane procurement areas for sugar
mills, and cane pricing.

vi) Domestic/Export Market

There is a huge demand of Indian made Sugarcane based sugar in the national and
international market. Assuming normal market conditions, India may import an estimated 0.5
MMT of sugar (mostly raw) in MY 2017/18. A 20-percent drop in total supplies over the last
three years will encourage imports only to augment local supplies while consumption will
recover marginally to 26 MMT. The preceding statement assumes duty-free imports for
commercial viability while export in forecast year is estimated to be negligible except for some
sugar re-exported under the under the Advance License Scheme (ALS). Under the ALS, local
sugar millers are allowed to import raw sugar duty-free against a future export commitment.
Note: If sugar production is higher than anticipated, the Government of India (GOI) will likely
intervene with market controls and regulate levels of imports. International sugar prices have
been lower than domestic Indian prices since October 2016. Prevailing domestic sugar prices
should encourage mills to sell locally, keeping Indian sugar exports less competitive. Although
India mostly imports sugar from Brazil, in recent years small volumes of New Zealand and British
sugar were also imported (500,000-800,000 MT), along with even smaller volumes were from
Germany, the United States, Italy, the UAE and Australia. Current year sugar exports are nil
except for an estimated 1.2 MMT as refined sugar re-exported under the ALS. Commercial
imports are now estimated at 500,000 MT (mostly raw).

vii) Employment Generation (Direct and indirect)

Due to the proposed expansion of sugar mill project in the region direct and indirect
employment avenues will be created in the nearby areas. In existing 10000 TCD sugarcane based
sugar mill 310 manpower is required in season and approx 275 manpower is used during off-
season. After expansion of existing sugar mill approx 140 persons will be added during season
and approx 145 in off-season.
Apart from direct employment of approx 450 people during operation, the industry will create
employment for around 1500(approx) people during construction phase and numerous other
indirect employment opportunities.

1. Extraction of juice:The sugarcane is passed through devices like knives for cutting the stalks
into chips before being subjected to crushing in a milling tandem comprising 4 to 6 three roller
mills. Fine preparation with its impact on final extraction, is receiving special attention
&shredders &particularly the fibrizers are gaining popularity. The mills are of modern design,
being equipped with turbine drive, special feeding devices, efficient compound imbibitions
systematic In the best milling practice More than 95% of the sugar in the cane goes into the
juice, this percentage being called the sucrose extraction or more simply the extraction. A
fibrous residue called bagasse with a low sucrose content is produced about 25 to 30% of cane,
which contains 45 to 55% moisture.

2. Clarification:
The dark green juice from the mills is acidic (pH 5.3 -5.4) &turbid, called raw juice or mixed
juice. The mixed juice after being heated to 68oC to 72oC is treated with phosphoric acid,
sulphur dioxide &milk of lime for removal of impurities in suspension in a continuously working
apparatus. The treated juice on boiling fed to continuous clarifier from which the clear juice is
decanted while these settled impurities known as mud dissent to the field as fertilizer. The clear
juice goes to the evaporators without further treatment
3. Evaporation
The clarified juice contains about 85% water. About 75% of this water is evaporated in vacuum
multiple effects consisting of a succeeding (generally five) of vacuum boiling cells arranged in
series so that each succeeding body has higher vacuum. The vapours from the final body go to
condenser. The syrup leaves the last body continuously with about 65% solids &35% water.
4. Crystallization
The syrup is again treated with sulphurdioxide before being sent to the pan station for
crystallization of sugar. Crystallization takes place in single-effect vacuum pans, where the syrup
is evaporated until saturated with sugar. At this point ‘seedgrain’ is added to serve as a nucleus
for the sugar crystals &more syrup is added as water evaporates. The growth of the crystals
continues until the pan is full. Given as killed sugar boiler (or adequate instrumentation) the
original crystals can be grown without the formation of additional crystals, so that when the
pan is just full, the crystals are all of desired size &the crystal &syrup form a dense mass known
as ‘massecuite’. The ‘strike’ is then discharged through a foot valve into a crystallizer.
5. Centrifugation
The massecuite from crystallizer is drawn into revolving machines called centrifuges. The
perforated lining retains the sugar crystals, which may be washed with water if desired. The
mother liquor ‘molasses’ passes through the lining because of the centrifugal force exerted &

Capacity expansion of DSCL Sugar-Hariawan from 10,000TCD unit along with 24 MW Cogeneration Power Plant to
18,000TCD Unit along with 70 MW Cogeneration Power Plant

after the sugar is ‘Purged’ it is cutdown leaving the centrifuge ready for another charge of
massecuite. Continuous centrifuges may purge low grades. The mother liquor separated from
commercial sugar is again sent to pan for boiling and re-crystallization. Three stages of
recrystallization are adopted to ensure maximum recovery of sugar in crystal form. The final
molasses is sent out the factory as waste by product unsuitable for recovery of sugar under
commercial condition from economical point of view.
It may be noted that the expansion will be achieved adding the following
equipment/machinery :–
• Stabilization of crush rate by addition of one new mill with Tandum
• Boilers and Turbine
• Boiling House
• Pollution Control Devices like ETP, ESP, etc.
B) DMP Process ( Defco melt phosphotation with ion exchange)
• The ion exchange process in the refinery is a continuous process where by sugar liquor is
passed through a resin bed & colour is trapped within the bed. However a bed of resin
becomes saturated with colour after some time. At this time the current bed in production is
terminated & a new bed is brought on line. The saturated bed must be regenerated.
• The liquor needs sufficient contact time with the resin for effective colour removal. Flow rate
in relation to the amount of resin present is important.
• The lead resin bed obviously always takes the major colour impact. The trail bed always takes a
lighter load.
• The beds are then washed with water to remove any traces of the caustic brine.
• The bed is sweetened on again in preparation for the next production run.

C) Co-generation Power Plant-

DSCL Sugar-Hariawan proposes to expand the current 24 MW co-generation bagasse plant to
70 MW, the peculiarities of manufacturing process are as follows:
This is a simple three step process namely Water preparation, Steam Generation and Power
Generation. The standard flow–sheet as will be adopted can be given as:

Fig: 7 Co-generation power plant

The steam turbine operates on basic principles of thermodynamics. After leaving the boiler,
superheated vapour enters the turbine at high temperature and high pressure. The high
heat/pressure steam is converted into kinetic energy using a nozzle (a fixed nozzle in an
impulse type turbine or the fixed blades in a reaction type turbine). Once the steam has left
the nozzle it is moving at high velocity and is sent to the blades of the turbine. A force is
created on the blades due to the pressure of the vapour on the blades causing them to move.
A generator or other such device can be placed on the shaft, and the energy that was in the
vapour can now be stored and used. The gas exits the turbine as a saturated vapour at a lower
temperature and pressure than it entered with and is sent to the condenser to be
cooled(During off season) . During Crushing season after de-superheating the exit steam from
Power Turbine is sent to evaporator to evaporate juice and its condensate return to boiler.

The area has high availability of surface water with three major rivers flowing through the
district viz. Ganga, Ramganga, and Garha. But over the last five years, it has witnessed a
decline in rainfall which has impacted the groundwater levels, resulting in low yield of the
various wells. This along with the limited surface water structures available has increased the
cost of irrigation for the farmers and also resulted in a low productivity of the crops. Contrary
to this there are also areas within the district with surplus water which also reduces the
productivity of the crops due to water logging. The prevailing water scenario has notably
impacted the livelihoods and businesses
