II. Brief description of nature of the project

The ‘Pathanpara Stone Quarry (Building Stone)’ of M/s ‘Pathanpara Crushers,

over an extent of 3.05Ha is a granite building stone mining project. The granite building

stone is the basic rock in this area to be excavated by quarrying.

This Granite Building Stone quarry is proposed to be operated by Opencast Semi-

Mechanized Quarrying Method. The mechanized operation of quarry shall use excavators,

tippers, rock breakers, Jack hammer drilling and blasting. The excavated material shall be

crushed in the crushers located outside the quarry lease area.

The maximum production capacity proposed in this area is 288987 tonnes per annum

building stone of size -150mm.

The quarrying operation shall provide 30 direct & equal number of indirect employment

to local people.

III. Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region.

The basic objective of the project is to have effective utilization of granite stone

as a building material in this region and state. The spur in infrastructure development

and construction industry has enhanced the demand of granite building stone in last 10 -

15 years.

Mainly infrastructure projects – like roads, highways, railways, bridges, buildings,

township, etc., have raised the demand of building material. Building stone quarry not

only provides the building material but also employment and economic growth of the

region that ultimately enhance the socio-economic status of the people of the region and

the state. The mining activities shall provide socio-economic benefits to the local

population with direct & indirect employment opportunities. The project also contributes

to the regional and financial benefits in the form of Royalty, Cess, Taxes, DMF etc.

IV. Demand-Supply Gap.

Granite Building stone is an important component of the construction activities for

infrastructure development. The demand for granite building stone is increasing along

with the increase in infrastructure and construction activities in Kerala. This quarry can

produce max 288987 tonnes of building stone annually and the demand of building stone

by various industries can be partly fulfilled by this project. During last four years there is

a sudden increase in the Real estate activities which has further enhanced the demand for

building stone, hence, there is heavy requirement of granite building stone to meet the

demand supply chain.

V. Imports Vs Indigenous production

The requirements of granite building stone in infrastructure industry is huge where

as the prices of granite are relatively low. The import or export of the same is not feasible

due to heavy transportation cost. The granite building stone of size -150mm shall be

transported / sold to the crusher outside the quarry lease, where it shall be sized and

sold to the local market for infrastructure development.

VI. Export possibility.

The price of the granite is very low and the transportation cost is very high. Hence

there are no export possibilities of the same.

VII. Domestic/Export markets.

The granite building stone of size -150mm shall be transported / sold to the crusher

outside the quarry lease, where it shall be sized and sold to the local market for

infrastructure development, real estate builders, contractors, etc. and to the nearby

vendors for government infrastructure projects. It is not viable to export this material.

However, there is huge demand for the granite building stone in the domestic market.
