Rikayaa Enterprises planning to set up Copper Rolled Products Unit Project in Jammu & Kashmir

Rikayaa Enterprises Private Limited intends to establish a new aluminum/copper rolled products factory in Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir. The plant will have an annual capacity of 10,000 MT of aluminum rolled goods and 5,000 MT of copper rolled products.The company has sought for project environmental approval. Indus Environment Management & Research Consultants Pvt. Ltd. prepared the project's environmental effect assessment report (EIAR). The EIAR has analyzed the project's possible environmental consequences and identified mitigating actions to mitigate these impacts.The following are the project's primary environmental impacts:Pollutants such as SO2, NOx, and particulate matter will be released into the atmosphere as a result of the project. 

These contaminants have been linked to respiratory issues, heart disease, and other health issues.Water pollution: The project will produce wastewater containing chemicals and contaminants. This effluent has the potential to damage the neighboring water bodies, threatening aquatic life and human health.Noise pollution: The plant's operations will cause noise pollution as part of the project. This noise pollution can lead to hearing loss and other health issues.Changes in land use: The project will need the use of land, which may result in the displacement of people and wildlife.To mitigate these environmental impacts, the EIAR has developed mitigating methods. Among these measures are:Installing pollution control equipment to decrease pollutant emissions into the atmosphere.Preparing wastewater for disposal into the environment by removing contaminants.Noise-cancelling equipment is being used to reduce noise pollution.Compensation for humans and wildlife harmed by land use change.

The environmental clearance procedure is still under progress. After reviewing the EIAR and other relevant elements, the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change (MoEFCC) will decide whether to provide environmental clearance for the project.If the project receives environmental clearance, Rikayaa Enterprises Private Limited must follow the terms of the permission. These conditions will ensure that the project does not have a substantial negative impact on the environment.Here are some of the project's primary features:Jammu, Jammu & Kashmir is the location.Capacity: 10,000 MT of aluminum rolled products per year and 5,000 MT of copper rolled products per yearIndus Environment Management & Research Consultants Pvt.
