Monolithisch India Acquires Quartzite Stone Block in Bihar for Rs 157 Crore
Monolithisch India secured a quartzite stone block in Bihar's Nawada district through a government e-auction for Rs 157 crore, marking a key step in its backward integration strategy. The five-year lease allows mining of up to 7,10,000 metric tonnes annually, supporting the company's expansion of silica ramming mass production to 5,76,000 MTPA. Commercial operations are expected to start by February-March 2027, with mining outsourced to contractors to limit capital expenditure, enhancing raw material security and cost competitiveness.
