Ilmenite is a titanium-iron oxide which is commonly used in the production of titanium oxide. It is paramagnetic and is enjoying an increase in demand from India and China. Up until 2011, Australia was the largeast producer of the manganese and magnesium rich ore. VV Mineral Mining is the largest manufacturer and exporter of Garnet & Ilmenite in Tamil Nadu, India.
VV Minerals was established back in late 1980s and has won national awards for its contribution to export business. The company is also known for exporting ilmenite to several countries. However, the government imposing 10% export duty on the sale of ilmenite and 5% duty on upgraded ilmenite has caused grievances to the mining industry.
Time is the most important in today's world which is not given importance in India. The Indian system is very slow when it comes to processes and timely decisions. There are close to 3,000 pending leases applications relating to the heavy mineral mining industry that are yet to be cleared which in turn, is the reason behind the slow growth of this industry says V Subramanian, Director, VV Minerals.

The allegations made on his company, V. V. Minerals, India's top exporter of industrial minerals garnet and ilmenite, have brought Vaikundarajan under high scrunity. VV Minerals has been issued a case of illegal mining, requiring the director of the company, Vaikundarajan, to be under the check of judiciaries all the time. VV Mineral Vaikundarajan, has been open to all the investigations even after being a discreet person himself.
VV Minerals India is vastly known for extracting and exporting garnet and ilmenite to over 20 countries. The company had admitted that it could no separate thorium from monazite to the lack of technology. This was also confirmed later by Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB). Despite all these confirmations, former principal scientist at Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute in Kochi raised his concerns by stating, “Indian Rare Earth Ltd (IREL), Manavalakurichi, uses the sand from the same area and produces thorium, so what happens to the monazite in the VV mines?
VV Mineral India which is a heavy mineral mining company from Tamil Nadu that works with heavy minerals such as rutile, ilmenite, granite and zircon.

Additionally, monazite quantity along the Indian coastline has seen a decrease by more than 2.1 million tonnes. It is a known fact that VV Minerals India is one of the largest producer of Garnet an Ilmenite. When the reports of missing Thorium Oxide were circulated, naturally, fingers were pointed at one of the biggest exporters in India. The company finds itself surrounded by allegations concerning illegal beach sand mining as stakeholders scrutinize a possible scam.

India enjoys an advantage of mineral resources but counter-productive measures need to be taken. India has ilmenite reserves of 348 million tones, which is almost 25% of global reserves. Yet, India only account for 6% of world’s ilmenite production. “However, Indian ilmenite posses low titanium dioxide percentage as compared to reserves in the USA and Australia,” says V Subramaniam of VV Minerals India. This in turn affects production costs and global competitive edge for Indian mining companies.
