The supply of sand for construction sector is likely to improve with the Central Government approving Andhra Pradesh Government proposal for clearance of mining in 36 sand reaches.
The Environmental Impact Assessment Authority under the Union Ministry for Environment and Forests has approved the State’s proposals to allow mining of sand in these 36 reaches identified and approved for sand mining in the State.
The supply of sand was adversely impacted due to ban on sand mining activity following directives of the court. The State has also begun promoting use of rock sand.
With the approvals, the State Mining Department would now be able to offer these sand reaches for development through an auction process.
