MINERAL RESOURCES AND MINING

The Ramco Cements, formerly known as Madras Cements, is planning an expansion of its captive limestone mining project at Village Budawada, dist. Krishna, Andhra Pradesh on 160 hectares of leased land. The estimated cost of the project is Rs. 40 million. The capacity is to be augmented from 1.1 MTPA to 2.5 MTPA. Method of mining is fully mechanized opencast mining. The mined limestone will be used for production of 3.65 MTPA cement at its Jaggayyapet cement factory. The project is waiting for environmental clearance. TOR is yet to be received. Mining will commence after receipt of environmental clearance. According to MoEF sources, with proved mineral reserve of about 101.46 million tonnes, the mine will last for 41 years with proposed production capacity of 2.5 MTPA. Forest clearance has been obtained. The waste available is interstitial clay. The waste generated will be stacked in temporary dump yard and will be used for afforestation and laying roads. After formation of the mine pit; rain water collected in the mine pit will be used.
