AS PER WEBSITE

 

Mr. S. K. Modi son of Late Mr. G. L. Modi soon after his graduation in commerce in the year 1972 stepped into Bellary City from Calcutta to look after the mining operation of Vibhutigudda Mines (P) Limited, the mining lease situate in S.No.90 (P) of B.Belagal (V) of Bellary (Tq & Dt). His wife Mrs. Manju Modi joined him little later and supported her husband both on field as well off the field for heavy development of mines. In the year 1979 he has taken over the mining company of Bellary Iron Ores (P) Limited, who have a mining lease in S.No.l(P) of H. Siddhapuram (V), Rayadurg (Tq) of Ananthapur (Dt), A.P.

 

He is responsible for increasing the level of production in almost all the mines. In the year 2002-2003, he applied for Export License of 5 Lacs tones of +64% Fe Iron Ore and was successful in receiving license for the entire quantity. Till 2001-2002 his group of companies was only deemed Exporters since the supplies were made to MMTC Limited for Export. He successfully completed the 1st Shipment in Oct/Nov 2002 through Chennai Port. Thereafter, he has improved his Exports leap and bound. The Production and dispatch figures for the past 5 years i.e., 1999-2000, 2000-2001, 2001-2002, 2002-2003, 2003-2004 are shown in Annexure-I. It is very evident from the above statement that the Production and dispatches have grown steadily from 1999-2000 onwards.          

 

Thereafter in the year 2003, he has negotiated and taken over the mining company of M/s. Suggalamma Gudda Mining & Company. This mining lease though in Karnataka is adjoining to the mining lease of H. Siddhapuram Mines.

 

He has now applied for a mining lease over an area of about 200 Ha which remain adjoining to both Suggalamma Gudda Mining & Company, as well of Y. Mahabaleswarappa & Sons and is quite hopeful of getting the mining lease very shortly. Thus, 90% of the total mineral reserve of Copper Mountain range will remain with Mr. S. K. Modi. That apart he has taken over 6 Ha of mining lease standing in the name of M/s.Gavisiddeswara Enterprises which is adjoining to ML of Vibhutigudda Mines (P) Limited Nonetheless, he is seriously trying for the renewal of ML standing in the name of Karnataka Minerals in which he is the Proprietor himself.

 

During the year 2003-2004, he has completed shipments from almost all the ports such as Goa, Chennai, and Kakinada & Vizag. He maintains a very good support from all the Officials concerned, for smooth functioning of the mining, transport and Export activities.

 

Bellary Iron Ores Private Limited (BIOP) is involved in production of iron ores since the year 1976. The mining operations were commissioned in the year since 1976 at their mining lease under the name of "H. Siddhapuram Iron Ore Mine" located near H.Siddapuram village, D .Hirehal Mandal, Rayadurg Taluk, Ananthapur District of Andhra Pradesh. The total mining lease area (15o 04' 17" - 15o 04' 38" North Laitude and between East 76o 49' 32" - 76o 49’ 57" Longitude) falls under copper mountain hill range which is a part of the Bellary reserve forest. BIOP has obtained necessary clearances from Andhra Pradesh State Pollution Control Board for annual Iron Ore Production Of 0.3 million tonnes.

Bellary Iron Ores produces high grade iron ore concentrate which is ideal for use as blast furnaces and for pelletisation. The concentrate is being used in the steel plants in China and Hong Kong for sintering and as a blend in pellet feed. The outstanding feature of BIOP ore is that it is very low in alumina, sulphur, phosphorous, vanadium and other deleterious elements. Magnetite content of the ore has an added advantage in that it requires relatively less energy for sintering and pelletisation when compared with other types of iron ore.

Latest Developments

 

Bellary Iron Ores P Limited has recently commissioned its own Railway siding near their mines. The name of the siding is 'BIOP SIDING'. This siding has got platform type loading facility and can accommodate four types of material. Two rakes can be loaded at a time. The Railways have declared this siding as 'Engine one load siding' i.e. the loading of 58 boxes (3600 MT) will be completed within three hours. Shortly this siding will have mechanical loading facility. The siding is equipped for 24 hours loading and is one of the state of the art model siding in the Sector. At present rakes can be loaded to Chennai, Kakinada, Visakhapatnam, Mangalore and Goa area.

 

Beneficiation plant: With a view to upgrade the low-grade material the company is setting up beneficiation plant at a cost of about 3 crores. Order has been placed for one “Commander 1400 Rinser with top deck 35 mm and bottom deck 2 & 10 mm opening. This machine is likely to be commissioned within 3 months.

 

Mechanical loading system: The Company has placed order for setting up one mechanical loading facility in its own siding to load 'N' boxes and also BCN (covered) wagons. Once this system is installed, loading of 'N' box can be completed in 2.5 hours.

 

The company has recently imported two mobile screening plants each having capacity to screen 150 MT per hour.

 

Capacity Increase

 

With the likely addition of one more Mining Lease soon, the total mining capacity will go up to 3 million tons, from the existing 2 million tons.
