  1. CREDA-HPCL BIOFUEL LIMITED WORKSHOP ON BIODIESEL 20TH NOVEMBER 2010

  2. CREDA-HPCL BIOFUEL LTD. (JVC) • CREDA-HPCL Biofuel Ltd. (CHBL) is a Joint Venture between HPCL and CREDA. • CHBL is in the process of taking on lease 15,000 hectares of waste/barren Government revenue lands within a period of three years for plantation of jatropha. • The lands are spread over ten districts of the state. • The company would impart training to the work force involved in the cultivation of jatropha. • CHBL envisages to act as a catalyst in providing seasonal/periodic employment.

  3. CURRENT STATUS • Acquired about 7500 hectares of land in the state of Chhattisgarh. • Cultivation started with the onset of monsoon during the current year. • As of date the cultivation is in progress in the districts of Bilaspur, Durg, Dhamtari, Sarguja, Koriya, Kanker, Bastar and Jashpur. • Some of the plants in Bilaspur and Dhamtari districts have started giving seeds . • Technical know-how with regard to various agri-inputs and cultivation methodology is being obtained from G.B. Pant Agricultural University, Pantnagar. • Seeds for developing saplings in the nursery have been obtained from Pendra/Marwahi area of Bilaspur District.

  4. STEPS TAKEN TO ENHANCE YIELDS • Provision of irrigation being made through borewells (approximately 1 borewell per 10 hectares) to ensure minimum casualty and improve yields. • Agri-inputs like vermi-compost, mychorhiza, SSP, urea, MOP, Chlorpyriphos etc. have been provided at the time of cultivation. • Maintenance of the plants with the above inputs and appropriate irrigation have been planned for three years. • Provision of Cattle Protection Trench (CPT) have been made on various plantation sites to minimise damage by the grazing cattle.

  5. ISSUES • Provision of irrigation, agri-inputs, CPT and annual maintenance of the plants may enhance the project cost. • Availability of appropriate Government revenue waste land is limited. • Process of allotting barren lands is time consuming. • Area of blocks of land varies from about 10 hectares to 40/50 hectares. Due to this the work has to be monitored in more than 300 blocks as of date in various districts of Chhattisgarh. • There have been unauthorised encroachments on some of the lands allotted on various blocks.
