Mineral Processing Park Development & Equipment Supply
The Opportunity
Andhra Pradesh is establishing three major mineral processing parks (Titanium Park in Srikakulam, Rare Earth Corridor in Anakapalli, and Integrated Titanium facility) with capacity targets of 1.5M+ tonnes annually. These parks will require specialized processing equipment, machinery, and supply chain infrastructure that domestic suppliers currently cannot fully meet at scale.
Market Size
₹8,000–12,000 crore over next 10 years. State target of ₹50,000 crore investments and 40,000 jobs indicates massive capex on equipment, conveyors, crushers, classifiers, and downstream processing machinery for titanium and rare earth processing.
Business Model
Manufacture and supply specialized mineral processing equipment (crushers, classifiers, flotation cells, dryers, magnetic separators) to the three proposed parks; alternatively, partner with international OEMs as authorized distributor/assembler in AP; OR provide turnkey solutions for mineral beneficiation plants.
Equipment supply contracts: ₹50–200 lakh per processing lineInstallation, commissioning & after-sales service: 8–15% of equipment cost annuallySpare parts and maintenance contracts: recurring ₹10–30 lakh/year per facility
Your 30-Day Action Plan
Obtain detailed specifications from CRDA and mining department regarding equipment needs for the three parks; identify competing suppliers and pricing benchmarks
Contact 3–5 international mineral processing equipment OEMs (e.g., Metso, FLS, Outotec) to explore distribution or JV partnerships
Prepare prototype/sample of one critical component (e.g., classifier, magnetic separator); arrange site visits to similar operational facilities in India
Register company, apply for GST, mineral processing license; draft tender response templates and approach CRDA officials with capex proposal
Compliance & Regulatory Angle
Factory license (DPIIT), GST registration (5%), ISO 9001 & 14001 certifications, environmental clearance (EIA) if manufacturing involves casting/welding, IEC/BIS standards for electrical/mechanical equipment, customs duty exemption for imported sub-assemblies (check APMDC rules)
