Reduce Environmental Impact duringQuarrying
More than 80% of captive mines operationsare carried out by non-conventional methodof mining (To eliminate the impact of Drillingand Blasting, we use Xcentric Ripper andRipper Dozers).
Over Burden rejects are being dumpedwithin the lease area to avoid the additionalland degradation. After exhausting themineral, over burden dumps are used torefill the mine pits.

Where Blasting is practicedonly Bottom hole initiationsystem is being practiced.

Water collected during mining isstored in settling pond to rechargethe ground. This water is alsopumped to lakes in nearbyvillages.
