Mining industry contributes to 2.5% of country’s GDP with employment of over 50 lakh people. “Due to the export duty, other countries may look at South Africa for ilmenite putting Indian export business at a serious risk,” VV Mineral Mining added.

Mining officials have raised concerns on the industry standing threat of becoming standstill due to the export duty. “There is a possibility that ilmenite from South Africa may be exported to China due to its quality and price. Export duty will be a hurdle for the industry to compete globally,” said Arjeth Bagchhi, President of Mining Engineers Association of India.

VV Mineral Vaikundarajan further informed that the government may be looking at doing away with deemed extension of leasing of ilmenite. “This move could potentially bring down the mining industry in two years,” he said.

Whether the government will heed to the mining official’s request remains to be seen. Meanwhile, VV Minerals hopes that the industry will stand strong against this decision.
