7. Sh. Batra further stated that the other strategic initiatives to enhance MMTC’s future sustainability include, in broad terms, setting up of a commodity exchange jointly with India Bulls, joining hands with an international producer as a joint venture partner for setting up a gold /silver medallion manufacturing unit, which would also include a gold refinery as an integral part.  For effective marketing of the finished products from this unit, as well as jewellery from other sources, MMTC plans to set up in partnership with a leading Indian company, a chain of retail stores at various cities in India for medallions, jewellery and its homegrown brand of ’SANCHI’ silverware. As a measure of investing in mining infrastructure MMTC had applied for and has been allotted a coalmine in Jharkhand having estimated reserves of about 700 million MT, exploration of which would be commenced soon.  MMTC has also applied for iron ore mining leases which will be a precursor to MMTC’s setting up of an iron ore pelletization plant for adding value to iron ore sourced from such mines.

 

8. Sh Batra also stated that such strategic initiatives effectively integrating vertically, both backwards and forwards, to encompass the entire gamut of the product process from the stage of manufacture to distribution to the ultimate consumer, shall continue to be undertaken in the future also to enhance MMTC’s competitive position and to maintain the current pre-eminent position being enjoyed in its fields of business.
