The Ministry of Environment and Forests has examined your application. It is noted that M/s Reliance Jamnagar Infrastructure Limited (RJIL) have proposed to develop Petroleum & Petrochemical Complex in a multi-product ‘Special Economic - Zone’ in District: Jamnagar of Gujarat. The proposed. site is located near the State Highway No. 25 on the way from Rajkot to Okha and is adjacent to the existing complex of Reliance industries Limited. The area proposed for the Petrochemical Projects Is located in District Jamnagar in Gujarat, which is a barren land. The area is arid in nature and only has thorny bushes and shrubs. The size of the SEZ will be 4,545 ha, residential-(810 ha.), commercial (275 ha), industrial (2276 ha. and’ green belttransportation (1185 ha.). Itis noted that no forest land is involved. Its proposed to setup C 1 based, C 2 based, C 3 based, C 4/C 5 based & C 6/C 7/C8 based units. The common facilfies for the proposed projects will be captive power plant of 2100 MW capacity, raw material receipt and product transport terminal and ware house. Desalination plant will be providing 15,000 ma/hr of water required for the industrial and residential complex. Besides ceniral- common effluent treatment plant, incinerator and a secured disposal facilty will be setup within the complex. [tis also hated that only gas will be used as fuel for the petrochemical. complex. Project cost will be Rs. 60,000.00 Crores and an amount of Rs. 1800.00 Crores: ‘will be utilized. for contro! of pollution control measures.OQ 2 3.
