Event Details
General Informations
Industrial minerals are the essential raw materials which have myriad
uses in range of industrial and domestic products used in our everyday
life. The industry of non-metallic
minerals is best known for the production of cement, ceramics, glass, and lime
products. Non-metallic minerals like limestone and minor minerals such as
gypsum and sand are used in the construction industry for making cement,
concrete, and building materials. Whereas in agriculture, minerals like
phosphate and sulfur are used as fertilizers to enhance soil fertility and crop
production. With the focus on development of the rural segment and rapid
urbanization programmes such as ‘Make-in-India’, it is envisaged that there
would be stronger demand of these group of minerals in the near future.
The industrial minerals are not only important because of their varied
uses but also play vital role in generating employment opportunities and
inclusive growth. In the country’s
economy, annual value of production of non-metallic major minerals increased to
the level of Rs.10605 crore in 2021-22 to Rs. 12236 crore in 2022-23, out of
which the major contributors are limestone, phosphorite, marl, wollastonite etc.
Limestone retained its leading position by contributing 88% of the total value
of non-metallic minerals in the year 2022-23. Considering the importance of
fertilizers in Indian agricultural sector, Phosphate has been categorized as
one of the critical and strategic mineral in the Part-D of First Schedule of MMDR
Amendment Act, 2023. Further, Rock Phosphate has also been included in the Seventh
Schedule of the Act to have enhanced focus on exploration and establishing
resources of the same.
With a view to have sustained growth of this
sector, it is sine qua non that
latest and environment- friendly state of the art 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 Ahmedabad
