It is proposed to produce 25536 CUM stone from the mine by opencast method of mining. (iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region The black stone (Basalt) is abundantly available in the area. The black stone (Basalt) material serves as a back bone for Building and other infrastructure development. It has played an important role in development of civilization and industrialization. The occurrence of stone (Basalt) in the area is proved by the way of geological exploration and its production has important role in the local infrastructure development. The proposed stone (Basalt) quarry will also marginally benefit the local people by way of direct and indirect employment. State Government is also benefitted by the mining through royalty. (iv) Demand-Supply Gap Stone (Basalt) is an essential constituent for infrastructural development projects like road, dams, bridges and building. It has high demand in Vidarbha region due to increase in industrial and other infrastructural activities.
