Acquisition Of Kilburn Chemicals Brought A Major Hike To VV Mineral: Vaikundarajan Subramanian

According to a recent interview with India Infoline on 28th May 2014, Mr. V Subramanian, the son of S. Vaikundarajan stated that the takeover of Kilburn Chemicals was a major event which lead to VV Minerals becoming the first private mineral producer for TiO2 products in India. With his vast experience in the heavy mineral mining industry, Mr. Subramanian was proud to be one of the few 3 to 4 companies in the world to have their own mine production for Tio2.

He believes that this take over took the company to higher edge from being just a mining company to a pigment producer.  This event not only adds value to their minerals but also provides employment, earn higher foreign exchange, and mark an Indian presence in Tio2 market which is dominated by China and western countries.

VV Minerals, India also sees this event as an opportunity to get a better insight of the global markets and allows them to expand their operations in the pigment market. Probably one day even dominate in global markets. VV Minerals, Vaikundarajan is based in Tamil Nadu. Their mine sites are mainly based in Tuticorin and Tisayanvilai. Currently they hold number one position for ilmenite mining, and Garnet mining. They are also the number one garnet exporters of the country.

First Accusation Of The Thorium Scam On VV Mineral

The Indian Bureau of Mines has revealed that the company involved in the illegal heavy mineral mining scam is VV Mineral. But the newspaper article that was published did not mention any names. The first claim that they stated said that there was certain evidence found which stated that there were some people who were denied access to the beaches where they conducted sand mining. They claimed that sand mining was conducted in these areas and was transported to warehouses where they stored the Monazite mineral.

According to the DNA article published on April 28th by Jaideep Prabhu, there are two possible explanations to this claim. Firstly, private corporations like VV Minerals cannot let unauthorized people to access their facilities ranging from warehouses or beach fronts where they conduct heavy mineral mining for safety and security reasons. According to his knowledge, it would even be illegal for private to companies to allow pedestrians in the mining areas. Secondly, these mining facilities are supposedly under the jurisdiction on AERB and only after you get authorization from them is it possible for the visitors and inspectors to enter the premises storing nuclear minerals.

Hence, there can be a logical explanation as to why these occurrences took place in the first place. VV Minerals India is a highly recognized heavy mineral mining company in India. It is family grown business started by Mr. S Vaikundarajan, Chairman of VV Group of companies. They are India’s biggest mining, manufacturers and exporters of Garnet.
