The agrochemicals industry is a significant industry for the Indian economy. The Indian pesticides
and insecticide industry is fourth largest in the world and the second in the Asia-Pacific region only
after China. Started in 2002, M/s HPM Chemicals & Fertilisers Ltd. (hence forth HPM) is now a
formidable player in the market.
Insecticides are used to ward off or kill insects. HPM has proposed for new technical grade pesticide
unit at SP-9B, RIICO Industrial Area, Village Khushkhera, Dist. Alwar, (Rajasthan). As per EIA
Notification dated 14.09.2006 and as amended on 01.12.2009, the project falls in Category "A", S.
No. - 5(b).
The role of the pesticides in the well-being of human race needs no emphasis. Pesticide usage
has become essential in order to maximize agriculture production and reduce public health
pestilence. The rapid changes in cropping patterns, increased fertilization and adoption of
programs for high yielding varieties have all contributed to increased use of pesticides. Further,
pest problems keep on changing with the changing environment. New physiological kinds evolve
as a result of mutations to withstand new conditions in nature. Many pest species develop
resistant strains when the same Pesticide is used far too often. The problems of pest resurgence
and secondary pest out-breaks crop up with the indiscriminate use of pesticides. These associated
problems offer a great scope for revolutionizing the use of pesticides. However, in India though
the overcall pesticide growth figures may appear impressive, the rate of consumption per hectare
of cultivated land is very low in comparison per hectare of cultivated land is very low in
comparison to other countries. India used 180 g of pesticides/ha. as against 10,790g, 1870 g and
1490 g/ha used in Japan, Europe and U.S.A. respectively. India spent just Rs. 2.15/ha. on
pesticides while Japan and U.S.A spent Rs.110/ha and Rs.35/ha respectively during the same
period. India consumed 12 gm. of pesticides per kg. of fertilizer used against 146 gm. in Japan in
and 19 gm in U.S.A in . This is one of the major factors that can be attributed to low per hectare
yields in our country since the crops and especially the high yielding varieties cannot manifest
their production potential in absence of proper pest protection. That the production potential
remains suppressed for want of protection can be exemplified by considering how in wheat, a
crop comparatively resistant to insect pestilence, we have had a “revolution” where as in paddy
which is one of the most heavily infested crops, we have had no break-through. In case of wheat,
the per hectare yield in India rose from 827 kg. in to 1338 kg. in or responding yields of paddy in
India on the other hand was 1826 kg. as against 6185 kg. 5326 kg. , 5105 kg. and 4000 kg. in
Japan, Egypt, USA and USSR respectively.
With in the country itself, there is a great imbalance between different regions with regard to the
use of pesticides. Of the total of approximately Rs.5000 million spent on pesticides in at the farm
level, south contributed for about 45 per cent of the total consumption in the rest of the country.
b) Project proponent
The project is for the manufacturing of technical grade pesticides by HPM Chemicals and
Fertilizers Limited at SP 9B, RIICO Industrial Area Vill. Khushkhera (District Alwar) Rajasthan.
HPM Chemicals and Fertilizer Limited (Previously known as HIM Pulverizing Mills Limited) is
a well-known company in agrochemical industry. To the farmer community it is simply known
as HPM. HPM is a popular name in Agri-inputs industry over last four decades. It has been
working extensively with the farming community to help them raise better and healthy crops.
Today HPM’s reach and impact has crossed geographical boundaries. Through extensive
research in agricultural fields, the company has developed many successful products and
services. This has largely helped farmers grow healthy crops and increase their productivity.
Being established among the frontrunners in the Agri-inputs Industry, HPM stands as a major
supplier for a spectrum of agri-input products catering across domestic and international markets.
Its product range spans from Agro Chemical Technical & Formulations to Household and Public
Health Chemicals and Fertilizers.
HPM lives to its commitment of prompt deliveries and adherence to promised delivery agenda.
The organization works hand in hand with farming community to bring innovation linear to life,
fulfilling its motto of “Yielding Prosperity”.
Manufacturing of Pesticides used for the pest control in the agriculture & public health. The raw
materials and final products are synthetic organic chemicals and will be manufactured with most
modern technology which will be environment friendly.
e) Need for the project and its importance to the country and its region
Pesticides are essential input for agriculture and the project will provide adequate availability of
the required products at cheaper rates and will also reduce the import quantities.
f) Production Gap
This would thus appear from the above that there is an unabridged major gap between the
demand and supply of pesticides for both public health and agriculture. The investments
involved in setting up of basic manufacturing plants as compared to formulation units if fairly
high. It has been possible for small scale entrepreneurs to go in for formulation business but
financially not possible to invest in basic manufacturing facilities. In the country basic
manufacturing are mostly with large scale MN companies and, in some cases, may be wholly
owned by them. In view of the fact that the present companies of these subsidiaries have sizeable
capacities for the manufacture of basic chemical in their own countries, they are reluctant to
invest money for basic manufacture in India. Also, these companies are reluctant to transfer
technology and losing monopoly sales especially when these products are proprietary.
Since the requirement of Pesticides is increasing @ 10% to 15% every year, there is a huge gap
between the demand and supply.
At present more than 50% requirement is fulfilled by Import and there is urgent need to create
indigenous manufacturing facilities to provide better Quality at optimum cost.
i) Export Possibility
The technical grade pesticides will be sold to many formulators all over the country. At the same
time export will be done in containers.
During construction phase around 125 persons will be employed indirectly for the period of
construction, approximately nine months, through the contractors. After completion of the
project about 101 person will be employed directly by HPM.
3. Project Description
a) Type of Project
Proposed Industrial project falls under ‘section 5(b)’ for Manufacturing of pesticides and their
intermediates in ‘Category A’ because it comes under general condition (Haryana-Rajasthan
State Boundary) as per EIA notification dated 14th September 2006 and its amendment on 1st
December 2009.
The satellite view of the site can be reveled from the Figure 1.1
The project will be set up in an approved/ existing industrial zone where all required
infrastructure is available. In addition all arrangements will be made to ensure environment
protection inside the factory & surroundings.
No alternate sites were analyzed. The project will be set up in an approved/ existing industrial

f) Project description with process details
Manufacturing Process:
Stage 1: The raw materials and solvent samples are sent to QC lab for quality check.
Stage 2: If quality is approved, the material is loaded to a reaction vessel to produce crude
pesticides in solvent. The crude pesticide is sent to laboratory to know the completion of the
reaction and for quality check.
Stage3: The crude pesticide in solvent is ready for washing. As per the requirement of end
product washing is carried out in batch.
Stage 4: After washing excess water is removed and the concentrated form of technical is sent to
another vessel.
Stage 5: The concentrated technical is then sent for crystallization or epimerization (the process
of converting one isomer to any other isomer).
Stage 6: After quality checks the crystallization form or the converted isomer is sent for filtration
and drying.
Stage 7: The mother liquor is separated and the end product technical is sent for packing and
dispatch.
Note: 1. The excess removed at stage 4 is called aqueous layer which will be sent to ETP after
detoxification.
2. The mother liquor separated at stage 7 is recycled and raw materials, solvent and products are
recovered in recovery vessel. And rest waste material is sent to incinerator.
