B. Introduction

The Andhra Pradesh Mineral Development Corporation Ltd. (“APMDC” or the

“Corporation”) is a fully owned undertaking of the Government of Andhra Pradesh. It was
incorporated on 24 February 1961 under the Companies Act 1956.

APMDC is engaged in commercial exploitation of various minerals. APMDC is playing a pro-

active role in the exploitation of valuable mineral resources and in the development of mining
infrastructure and mineral based industries in the state of Andhra Pradesh. APMDC is set to
undertake several innovative and definitive measures in this regard.

The Government of Andhra Pradesh has granted 3 Heavy Minerals Beach Sand leases to
APMDC. The 3 HMBS leases are also executed in favor of APMDC Ltd. The beach sands
along the coastline of Srikakulam District contain valuable heavy minerals, inter-alia Ilmenite,
Rutile, Leucoxene, Zircon, Garnet, Sillimanite and traces of Monazite. APMDC intends to
operationalize an Integrated Project for Development of HMBS covering Mining, Pre-
Concentration and Mineral Separation Plant for the minerals.

This tender document is being issued by APMDC to hire an agency for preparation of a
Bankable Detailed Project Report (DPR) for Integrated Project of Heavy Mineral Beach
Sands covering Mining, Pre-concentration Plant and Mineral Separation Plant.
