V. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 1. Tata Steel standalone ata Steel recorded a profit after
tax of ` 6,439 crores during Financial Year 2014-15 as compared to ` 6,412 crores in Financial Year
2013-14. While the deliveries were higher at 8.75 million tonnes (Financial Year 2013-14: 8.52 million
tonnes), the Company faced severe cost pressure as it was hit hard by the RM crisis. There was also an
exceptional gain of ` 1,891 crores in Financial Year 2014-15 (Financial Year 2013-14: Loss of ` 142
crores). The basic and diluted earnings
per share were at ` 64.49 for Financial Year 2014-15 (Financial Year 2013-14: ` 64.21).

Construction Waste|Clean India Campaign
India's construction industry generates about 10-12 million tonnes of waste annually.

NEW DELHI: India will sign an MoU with Norway for training of human resource to handle
construction and demolition waste, in tune with the Clean India Campaign launched by
Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will be signed between SINTEF, Norway and
Central Public Works Department (CPWD) for cooperation in the development of human
resource capacity-building and scientific research in the field of Recycling of Construction
and Demolition (C&D) Waste in India.
The proposal in this regard was cleared by the union cabinet on Wednesday.
India's construction industry generates about 10-12 million tonnes of waste annually.
There is a huge demand of aggregates in the housing and road sectors but there is a
significant gap in demand and supply, which can be reduced to a certain extent by recycling
construction and demolition waste.
While some of the items like bricks, tiles wood, metal are re-used and recycled, concrete and
masonry, constituting about 50 percent of the construction and demolition waste, is not
currently recycled in the country.
But the weather pattern changed drastically later. "We noticed that there was
secondary aerosol formation on Wednesday which caused the PM 2.5 levels
to go up dramatically. But wind speed increased by about four times on
Thursday which helped clear out the particles to an extent," said Gufran Beig,
project director, SAFAR.

The government has decided the country's most-polluting industries will need consent to
operate every five years, doing away with a UPA-era annual-approval clause that also
looked at the impact on health and biodiversity.
The move is being seen as an attempt to boost ease of doing business while a debate
rages over India's toxic air .
With this step, the Narendra Modi government has overhauled a regulation introduced by
former environment minister Jairam Ramesh that was based on the effect of industrial
clusters on air, water, land, health and ecology.
While the Prime Minister is trying to push India as a global manufacturing hub by promoting
industry, the quality of air in the country has raised local and international concerns after the
WHO last year declared Delhi the world's most polluted city.
"We will rate the industrial clusters only on the basis of water, air and land as they can be
measured," said Shashi Shekhar, the environment ministry's special secretary.
Based on the Comprehensive Environmental Assessment of Industrial Clusters (CEPI)
ranking system, Ramesh had imposed a ban on allowing new industries in several regions,
including Vapi and Ankleshwar in Gujarat.
However, in the revamped CEPI, a ban on new industries will be the exception rather than
the rule.
"We are moving away from the moratorium-based approach to taking industries into
confidence for reducing emissions," explained Shekhar, adding that the CEPI parameters
will be revised to analyse the impact of pollution in a more holistic manner.
In a major relief to industry, the government has decided that the approval to operate will be
valid for five years in case of the most-polluting red category units, 10 years for the slightly
less-polluting orange category, and the cleaner green category units will require one-time
approval.
Under the UPA-era system, industries in 17 critically polluting sectors come under the red
category for which most states give annual consent, the orange category ones need
approval every five years and the green ones every 10-15 years.
"We are doing away with the annual consent so the industry owners don't have to visit
government offices again and again," said environment minister Prakash Javadekar, adding
that the categorisation of over 10,000 industries was being re-worked on the basis of overall
pollution potential instead of size and effluent discharge.
The ministry has in the last nine months diluted environment rules considered a hurdle by
industry to drive economic growth.
Reacting to the relaxations given, Chandra Bhushan, deputy director general of the Centre
for Science and Environment said these incremental changes will neither help industry nor
ensure pollution abatement.
"The government is not pursuing bigger reforms that can improve the environment and help
industry meet green standards," he said.
The ministry also introduced standard terms of reference (ToRs) for conducting scoping
studies for projects to reduce time needed for getting environmental approval from over a
year to about three months.
Project proponents will not be required to submit their proposals before expert appraisal
committees of different sectors for issuing the TORs as this will happen automatically in the
new mechanism after a project's registration on the ministry's website.
A similar system will be adopted for proposals cleared by state governments.Watch:PM
