TN needs 5L units daily, but output capped at 1.2L units: Operators
DEFENDING industry practices, representatives of stone quarry and crusher units operating across the state during a stakeholder meeting chaired by Minister for Natural Resources T K Prabhu in Chennai on Thursday blamed the previous governments’ “silence” to the “massive” mismatch between the demand and permitted supply of construction aggregates as the “root cause” of the violations in quarrying activities in Tamil Nadu.
According to the operators, the state’s daily requirement of construction aggregates is around 5.25 lakh units while the government’s permitted quarry production capacity is a mere 1.2 lakh units. Construction aggregates include crushed stone, M-Sand, P-Sand, gravel, rough stone and other related materials.
