(iii) Need for the Project & its Importance to the Country and or Region (UTCL) has proposed this mining project in order to meet the requirement of Limestone for the manufacturing of Cement in the Proposed Cement Plant to be set up in Mahuva/Talaja Taluka of Bhavnagar District of Gujarat. The proposed limestone mine will be captive to proposed Cement Plant of UTCL. However, till the time new cement plant is set up the limestone will be transported to existing nearby Cement plants of the company located in Gujarat. Besides this, the project will prove beneficial in terms of socio-economic development as it will provide employment to locals. Further, the average income level, which is the indicator of socio economic status of households is expected to increase, which will ultimately result in better standard of living of the local people. With respect to the importance of the project to the nation, it can be well said that in a developing nation like India, cement makes a backbone for infrastructural development. Thus, keeping in mind this requirement, mining of limestone is necessary for the nation s growth. (iv) Demand Supply Gap Limestone produced from this mine will be used for the manufacturing of Cement in the Proposed Cement Plant to be set up in Mahuva/Talaja Taluka of Bhavnagar 4

8 District of Gujarat. However, till the time new cement plant is set up the limestone will be transported to existing nearby Cement plants of the company located in Gujarat. (v) Imports vs. Indigenous Production Limestone produced from this proposed limestone mine will be used for proposed cement plant near the limestone mines to be set up. In the interim period the limestone will be used in the existing nearby Cement plants of the company located in Gujarat. (vi) Export Possibility Not applicable as the produced limestone will be used in proposed and existing nearby Cement plants of the company located in Gujarat. (vii) Domestic/Export Markets Limestone will be only utilized in proposed cement plant and till the time the proposed cement plant is set up, excavated limestone will be used in nearby cement plants of the company located in Gujarat. Thus there will be no other users for the limestone from this mine. (viii) Employment Generation (Direct & Indirect) due to the Project Direct and indirect employment will be generated due to the proposed mining project. Some skilled manpower may be required from outside the area while remaining unskilled/ semi- skilled manpower will be sourced from the local villages. Preference will be given to local persons as per eligibility. The manpower of approx. 120 persons will be required which will be taken from nearby villages. Preference will be given to local people on basis of their experience & eligibility. 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION (i) Type of Project Including Interlinked and Independent Projects, if any (UTCL) is proposing for Limestone Mine (M.L.
