Private players are facing major criticism for reducing the production volume of river sand (M-sand) from the entire realty market of Coimbatore. This time construction contractors and realtors association have accused manufacturing companies and relatives authorities for the same. As per the latest market statement the supply of M-sand has dropped from 40,000 loads of sand to 4000 per day.
The prime reason behind this shrinkage in supply is limited numbers of manufacturers in the region. Sources say that, there are not more than 12 local manufacture companies of M-sand in the area. In a press conference subjected to the scant production issue president of the Builders Association of India, Coimbatore, K Rajavel said, "Earlier the cost of one load (275cubic feet) was Rs 12,000, and now it costs us Rs 35,000. While we are with the state government in trying to regularise the sale of river sand, we urge the chief minister to regularise the manufacturing of M-sand too."
In Coimbatore the total production capacity of M-sand is 50 loads as revealed by the president of the Coimbatore Civil Engineers Association R Karthick. Apparently this production is insufficient to serve for Coimbatore region. In comparison to Coimbatore other states are manufacturing greater volume of M-sand. Using M-sand is better than using natural river sand in the construction process. River sand is really useful for plastering purpose. M-sand (Manufactured sand) is perfect alternative river sand which eventually dries up fast. Again M-sand is cheaper than river sand (Rs. 2000 for 100 cubic feet).
Now, realtors of Coimbatore are unable to purchase M-sand from the next-door states as they are legally bound by the Mines Act. Thus, the only way to fulfil the requirement of the state is to make better the production volume of districts and the states. State government should intervene in this matter as soon as possible to standardize and the licensing the production process as well.
Depending on the capacity it requires 5 acres of land and 3-5 crore investments on machinery, materials and man power. It’s not that there is shortage of mining in the state. On an average 100 people from different districts are willing to set-up manufacturing units and they are waiting for the state government’s single nod.
Realtors confirmed that this matter is already on the table of the state ministry and the chief minister of the state has promised to check out this matter. Former chief minister J Jayalalithaa announced that M-sand can be used for the construction purpose of offices and PWD buildings. Currently, the realtors are facing problems regarding mining, environmental clearance and power permissions. In a bid to aware the state government to their demands, the realtors’ associations will march from the Womens' Polytechnic College to VOC Park and meet collector T N Hariaharan and place their demands.
