Cement Mines Iin India
CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 NATIONAL INVENTORY OF LIMESTONE • National Inventory of Cement Grade Limestone is the basic prerequisite for planning the strategy for the growth of the Cement Industry. The twin objectives of inventory is to update the availability of the limestone and to bring into focus the limiting factors affecting the availability of limestone . • The total resources of limestone of all categories and grades as per UNFC system as on 1.4.2005 are estimated at 1,75,345million tonnes of which 12,715million tonnes 7% are under reserve category and 1,62,630million tonnes are under remaining resources category. • About 76% of the gross reserves are concentrated in just six states namely Andhra Pradesh , Karnataka , Gujarat ,Rajasthan ,Madhya Pradesh , • As on 31 March 2010, the country’s estimated gross reserves of cement grade limestone stand at 97430 mn.t. Out of this, 22476 mn.t (23%) of proved category, 19031mn.t (20%) of probable category and 55923 mn.t (57%) of possible category reserves.

2.4 INFLUENCE OF GDP – GROWTH IN THE PRODUCTION AND TARGETS SET TO THE INDUSTRY.
Limestone is perhaps the most extensively exploited mineral gift of nature and the cement industry is the largest beneficiary of this mineral. Limestone is the basic ore for the cement industry and the cement manufactured as previously mentioned has wide application especially contributing to the infrastructure growth to the nation.

The round circle shows the growth in the cement industry i.e limestone production in july 2011 with an increase 10.6% but there has been an decrease in 3.5% in april –july 2011 comapred to april –july 2010. [pic]

The above graphs depict the impact of cement industry which inturn depend largely on the limestone production shows the steep increase in production from 1950 to 2007. • The current limestone production in India is obtained to be
