1. | NA | The proposal is a fresh lease of 5.3810 ha for production of 2,40,000 TPA Building stone which is a miner mineral. The LoI was issued on 13.3.2018 by Directorate of Mines and Geology, Govt. of Kerala. Mining Plan has been approved by the DMG on 10.4.2018. Cluster certificate was issued by DMG vide dated 23.4.2018 stating that there are no other mining leases within 500 m radius from the periphery of the proposed mine lease. Accordingly, the proposal is categorised as ‘B2’ which is to be dealt by SEIAA. As the SEIAA, Kerala is not functional at present, PP applied to the Ministry. Project ‘B2’ category requires only Form-I, PFR and Approved Mine Plan and Environmental Management Plan.The estimated project cost will be about Rs. 4.5 Crores.
