Hindustan Copper signs MoU with MOIL to create business synergy
Kolkata, April 23: State-run Hindustan Copper Ltd (HCL) on Monday said it has signed an MoU with Manganese Ore (India) Ltd (MOIL), to create long term business synergy for both the Central Public Sector Enterprises.
The agreement was inked by HCL's Chairman and Managing Director Santosh Sharma and MOIL's chief Mukund Chaudhary.
According to a statement, the MoU was signed on Sunday at Malanjkhand Copper Project located at Madhya Pradesh's Balaghat district and in terms of the agreement, the MOIL will procure its entire requirement of silica sand, used for backfilling of its mines, from HCL's unit.
High grade silica sand is an outcome of the beneficiation of copper ore tails, a waste generated during copper beneficiation process at Malanjkhand Copper Project.
"A copper ore tailing (COT) beneficiation plant is going to be commissioned at Malanjkhand by HCL which is expected to generate high grade silica sand to the tune of 5,500 tonnes per day. This sand will be suitable for road making, construction of building, etc. and is also likely to be used in glass industries after further refining," the statement said.
This project is in sync with promoting business synergy among the Public Sector Enterprises as advised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Arrive 3 hours early: Airlines urge passengers as centre tightens airport security after Pak attack
New Delhi: Airlines have asked passengers to reach airports at least three hours before departure after the Centre increased security measures in response to Pakistan’s ongoing attack, reported India Today.
According to the Ministry of Civil Aviation, all passengers will now face a Secondary Ladder Point Check (SLPC) before boarding. The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has directed all airports and airlines to step up security.
Air India said, “Passengers are advised to arrive at least three hours prior to departure. Check-in closes 75 minutes before departure.” Akasa Air and IndiGo issued similar advisories, asking passengers to allow more time for security checks.
All passengers must carry valid photo ID and will undergo secondary checks before boarding. Visitor entry to terminals has been banned, and Air Marshals will be deployed as required.
The moves come as India’s defence systems shot down Pakistani missiles and drones in Jammu, Punjab, and Rajasthan. At least 21 airports are shut till May 10, and several flights are cancelled. Civilian aircraft are avoiding airspace over Pakistan and India’s western corridor, data from Flightradar24 shows.
