Comment by Dr K Rosaiah, Hon'ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh

 

The Srikurmam project represents a major milestone for the development of rich natural resources that Andhra Pradesh is endowed with, said Dr K Rosaiah, Hon'ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. “Srikurmam will play a pivotal role in helping to meet the demand for high quality heavy minerals in the supply-deficit global market. I congratulate Trimex for being extremely serious about of its responsibilities as a corporate citizen.

Comment from Prasad Koneru, Chairman, Trimex Group Trimex Group Chairman Prasad Koneru said that the project has already generated significant opportunities in the region. “The Srikurmam project demonstrates that environmental sustainability, land conservation, and fast economic growth can coexist. We believe that the Trimex group has established an important enviro-economic precedent for mineral extraction projects. I am confident this project will make a sustainable economic and social contribution to the region,” Prasad Koneru said.

 

Comment from Pradeep Koneru, Executive Director, Trimex Group

 

Trimex Group Executive Director Pradeep Koneru said that the Srikurmam project is an important milestone for the group and the minerals extraction industry.

 

"Our mission is to be among the world's largest producers of top quality industrial heavy minerals. We are confident that our fully-integrated multi-mineral separation and processing complex has few equals even among global peers in terms of ambition and quality," Pradeep Koneru said.

 

"Very hearteningly, all this has been achieved with the transparent and proactive involvement of multiple stakeholders. All the necessary Central and State government clearances and approvals have been received. The project has in place an ongoing reclamation plan, re-contouring of the land to its original shape, including dunes, and management of groundwater resources. The minimum acreage of land is actively mined at any given moment with no use of harmful chemicals and, most importantly, land is merely rented from the landowners and goes back to them after the extraction process is complete," Pradeep Koneru added.
