Mineral Processing Park Support Services & Equipment Supply
The Opportunity
Andhra Pradesh is establishing three mineral processing parks (Titanium Park in Srikakulam, Rare Earth Corridor in Anakapalli, Integrated Titanium and Rare Earth Corridor in Machilipatnam) as part of a ₹50,000 crore investment push to become an Integrated Strategic Material Hub. These parks require specialized equipment, infrastructure, logistics, and supply chain support—creating immediate demand for titanium/rare earth processing machinery, waste management systems, and mineral handling equipment from vendors.
Market Size
₹8,000–12,000 crore over 5 years (mineral processing equipment and support services market in India; reasoning: 3 major parks + ₹50,000 cr state investment suggests ₹2,000–4,000 cr capex per park, with 40–60% allocated to machinery and materials handling)
Business Model
Establish a B2B supply and installation business providing specialized mineral processing equipment (crushers, classifiers, flotation cells), material handling systems, and spare parts to the three new parks. Partner with international OEMs or manufacture locally under license.
1) Equipment sales and installation (₹50–100 lakh per park order); 2) Preventive maintenance contracts (₹10–20 lakh annually per park); 3) Spare parts supply (₹5–10 lakh quarterly per park)
Your 30-Day Action Plan
Request RFQ documents and tender schedules from AP Mineral Development Corporation and park authorities; identify the 3 park project managers and procurement leads via APIIC website
Conduct site visits to all three parks; map equipment specifications needed (titanium/rare earth processing machinery); shortlist 2–3 international OEM partners willing to supply/license
Register as approved vendor with AP government; prepare technical proposals and costing for 3–5 key equipment categories required for each park
Submit RFQ responses; initiate discussions with park management on maintenance contracts and spares supply agreements; open bank account and secure first working capital
Compliance & Regulatory Angle
GST registration (18% on machinery), BIS certification for processing equipment, vendor registration with AP Mineral Development Corporation, ISO 9001 quality certification, import duties (5–7.5%) if sourcing machinery from abroad, environmental clearance for any in-park assembly/testing facilities
