B. OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS AND OUTLOOK
India possesses significant potential for industrial and minor mineral resources across a vast area, making the stone crushing and mining industry a crucial sector. The leased areas dedicated to producing crushed stone of various sizes serve as essential raw materials for diverse construction activities, including roads, highways, bridges, buildings, and canals.
The Stone Crushing Industry sector is estimated to have an annual turnover of Rs. 5,CCC crore. Housing and infrastructure projects, including roads, flyovers, and bypasses, createa consistent and substantial need for crushed stone across the country. Despite Indias rich reserves of raw materials, the mining sector has encountered challenges such as inadequate exploration, complex regulations, and delayed approvals. These issues have contributed to a slowdown in mineral extraction and have impacted related sectors reliant on these resources. Nevertheless, the mining sector, especially in rural areas, still holds substantial growth potential.
However, the business is subject to various external and internal threats, including government policies, state regulations, pollution laws, market conditions for infrastructure development, and labor acts.
With the company now being active and strategically positioned to leverage these opportunities as well as threats it is well-placed to experience further growth and expansion in both its construction materials and telecommunications businesses.
