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
