General Informations
Industrial minerals play an essential role in our everyday life,
providing essential raw materials for a wide range of industries and
applications. Industrial minerals such as limestone, gypsum are fundamental to
the construction sector. They are used in the production of cement, concrete,
and road aggregates, supporting infrastructure development. Minerals like
silica, kaolin, and feldspar are integral to the glass and ceramics industries
whereas in agriculture, minerals like phosphate and sulfur are used as
fertilizers to enhance soil fertility and crop production.
Further,
Industrial mineral like graphite, a critical mineral is crucial to the green energy transition,
which aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and increase the use of renewable
energy sources such as wind, solar, hydropower, and electric vehicles (EVs).
With growing importance of industrial minerals some of which are critical
minerals, despite holding significant resources, production of these minerals
are smaller in India compared to other countries and primarily dependent on
imports. In case of graphite, India holds substantial resources to the tune of
211 million tonnes, but produced merely 0.16 milltion tonnes in the year
2023-24. Phosphorite, having resources at 311 million tonnes, witnessed
production of 1.55 million tonnes in the 2023-24. The increasing global demand
of industrial minerals, especially for use in electric vehicle batteries,
presents an opportunity for India to strengthen its production capabilities and
position itself as a key player in the global supply chain.
With a view to have sustained development of this sector, it is
imperative that environment- friendly low carbon technologies are adopted in
the area of exploration and extraction to enhance productivity and acquire
competitiveness for growth of the industrial minerals sector. Further,
appropriate market strategies are required to be formulated taking into account
the constraints and compulsions of domestic and global markets. In background
of the above, the ‘Conference on Indian
Industrial Minerals’ is being organized by FIMI in Udaipur
