For 29,367 m3/ANNUM OF COLOUR GRANITE PRODUCTION By M/s. Varsha Rocks 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Project M/s Varsha Rocks Colour Granite Mine Location of the project Sy. No.495 (Old.Sy.no.GapArea) of Anupalli village, Ramachandrapuram Mandal, Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh Registered Office Prop.P.Hemanthakumar Sy.No:495,(Old.sy.no.Gap Area) of Anupalli(V),Ramachandrapuram(M), Chittoor district,A.P (State) -517102 Designation (Owner P.Hemanthakumar /Partner/ CEO) Properator Period of mining lease 20 years Extent of Lease Area 6.465 Ha Present land use Govt. land Annual Production 29367 m3 /Annum Mineable reserves 5,76,446 m3 Life of Mine 28.31 years. Type of Activity Open cast Semi-Mechanized mining method is proposed. Waste generation Dumping of waste will be dumped on the south eastern part of the quarry lease area waste will be stocked over a length of 35m, width 30 m to a height of 13m in the south eastern part of the lease area. During the next five years about 2,89,747 cbm of waste material will be generated. Conceptual land use The pits will be utilized for water storage and water harvesting structure. Manpower Requirement About 15 persons will be employed in mine. Water requirement Water Requirement of 20 m3/day will be met from bore well. Total Project Cost Rs. 30 lakhs 2. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT / BACKGROUND INFORMATION: (i) Identification of project and project proponent. In case of mining project, a copy of mining lease / letter of intent should be given. M/s. Varsha Rocks was granted a Quarry Lease for Colour Granite over an extent of 6.465 Hectares Sy.No:495, (Old.Sy.no.GapArea) of Anupalli village, Ramachandrapuram Mandal, Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh by Department of Mines & Geology, Ibrahimpatnam vide Notice No. 6267/Q1/2013, dated 17.02.2018. for a period of 20 years. (ii) Brief Description of the Nature of the Project. Project is Colour granite mine located in an area of 6.465 Ha. It is proposed to produce Colour granite of 29,367 m3/annum by means of Open cast Semi-Mechanized mining method using drilling with jack hammers, blasting, manual sizing/dressing and loading into trucks. (iii) Need for the Project and its importance to the country. Granites are most adaptable as interior veneers in sky scrapers. In architecture, granites are mostly used for artistic veneers as they enrich other aspects of buildings. In India granite is used as kitchen platform, kitchen sink, name plates, foundation/inaugural stones etc., granites ashtrays; flower vases and other art pieces have both domestic and export markets. Other users for dressed or cutter shaped forms of different sizes are flagging stones in the form of flat slabs or rectangular or irregular shapes oversteps, walk ways, parks and terraces, parking streets and high ways or other traffic areas with rectangular blocks. The Colour granite has got good colour, peculiar texture and polish taking nature. So it has got good demand in domestic and international market. Colour Granite is exported to Chennai, Jaipur, Bangalore and also being marketed internationally. Marketing of Granite internationally is different as the foreign buyers for both dimensional blocks and finished products in terms of quality, consistent colour, polish, price etc. So there will be increased demand in local and international market for the Colour Granite in the years to come. (iv) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) Due to Project. The employment potential of the project would be about 15 persons. 3.
