APMDC registered under the Companies Act 1956 with an authorised capital of Rs. 50 lakhs with full participation by Government of Andhra Pradesh. The Authorised capital is increased from time to time, to Rs. 10 Crores. The paid up capital is Rs. 630.62 Lakhs. Currently, APMDC producing Barytes of 2.0-3.0 MTPA in Kadapa dist, Andhra Pradesh. The Objectives of the APMDC are: Development of mineral resources including exploration, exploitation, and beneficiation. Development of mineral industry with private participation. Identification of the Best Technology and Investment for development of Mineral Resources. Awards The Corporation has been awarded with “Coal India Productivity Organizational Award ” for the year 2006-07 by the Indian Institute of Industrial Engineering on 12th October, 2007 at Thiruvananthapuram for its exceptional performance in the exploration of the minerals in the state. Earlier, best documentary film award- 2008 at Nandi film fare awards has been awarded for the documentary pictured on Bauxite deposits by the corporation. Name of the Project : Bendi to Baruva & Baruva to Donkuru Villages, Vajrapukothuru, Mandasa, Sompeta, Itchapuram & Kavali Mandals Mineral Sands Deposit, Pre-concentration Plant (PCP), Mineral Separation Plant (MSP) 2 Location Villages : Bendi-Baruva, Baruva-Donkuru (29 Villages) Mandal : Vajrapukothuru, Mandasa, Sompeta Kavati & Itchapuram Mandals District : Srikakulam State : Andhra Pradesh Production : Raw Mineral Sand Mine prod. max.10.0 MTPA ML Area Mining is Proposed in the Non-Forest area of 1891.0 Ha. (1727.0 ha of PF area excluded in the proposal) against total ML 3618.0 Ha (i) Name & Address of the Project Proponent M/s. Andhra Pradesh Mineral Development Corporation Ltd, 3rd Floor, Rear Block(HMWSSB Premises) Khairathabad, Hyderabad-500 004, India Tel No. +91 40 23323153, 23393814, Fax:+91 4023393152 (ii) Background for EC The beach Sand Mining is proposed in the Non-forest of 1891.0 ha area against total ML area of 3618.0 Ha. and seeking the Environmental Clearance in the Non –forest area. The Project involved mining of beach sand and separation of heavy minerals (Garnet, Ilmenite, Leucoxene, Sillimanite and minor amount of Rutile Zircon and Monazite) and to set-up an export-oriented and value added unit at later stage. 2.2 Brief Description of the Nature of the Project. The Project involves Production of Heavy Mineral Sands Mine max. 10.0 MTPA. And 1.10 million tonnes of finished mineral products 2.3 Need for the Project and its importance to the country and or region As per the projections of 12th plan document prepared for beach sand minerals and as per the IBM report (Mineral year book) India is currently producing annually ilmenite 7.5LT, Rutile 0.18LT, Zircon 0.5LT, Sillimanite 0.6LT. Garnet 12.0LT and Monazite from East-West coast Beach sands. Out of these minerals majority of rutile and Zircon requirement is being met by import currently. The chloride grade Ilmenite is also imported to meet the domestic requirement. However, there is demand of Ilmenite garnet Sillimanite for export to earn foreign exchange. Since the project is proposed to be taken up in Northern part of Andhra Pradesh, the surrounding areas in Srikakulam, Vijayanagaram and Vishakapatnam towns will be benefited by way of employment, infrastructures and other developments. Proposed value addition like rutile grade pigment, Titanium slag, Titanium metal, zircon flour and zirconium chemicals will be taken up at later stage. This project assumes greater significance in the field of beach sand minerals development in the country. In view of the above the project is a step towards import substitution, value addition and establishment of other downstream ancillary industries. The project will also contribute substantially to the Government exchequer and offer significant employment opportunities to the locals. 3 2.4 Demand-Supply Gap Sr. No Minerals Production Demand Shortage/Surplus (TPA) (TPA) (TPA) 1 Ilmenite 7,50,000 3,19,000 +4,31,000 2 Rutile 18,000 40,000 -22,000 3 Zircon 50,000 1,30,000 -80,000 4 Garnet 12,00,000 7,00,000 +5,00,000 5 Sillimanite 60,000 40,000 +20,000 2.5 Import V/s Indigenous Production Sr. No Minerals Production (TPA) Import (TPA) 1 Ilmenite 7,50,000 65,876 2 Rutile 18,000 9,826 3 Zircon 50,000 34,651 4 Garnet 12,00,000 1,115 5 Sillimanite 60,000 74 2.6 Export Possibility Sr. No Minerals Export (TPA) 1 Ilmenite 7,91,735 2 Rutile 2,322 3 Zircon 31,600 4 Garnet 5,05,281 5 Sillimanite 11,151 2.7 Domestic / Export Markets Sr. No Minerals Demand (TPA) Export (TPA) 1 Ilmenite 3,19,000 7,91,735 2 Rutile 40,000 2,322 3 Zircon 1,30,000 31,600 4 Garnet 7,00,000 5,05,281 5 Sillimanite 40,000 11,151 2.8 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) Due to Project.
