Midwest has been selected as the Lead Consortium Partner by The Kerala Minerals and Metals (KMML), a Government of Kerala undertaking, for a strategic technology development and establishing a pilot plant project focused on rare earth elements. This milestone reinforces the company’s diversification strategy to establish a meaningful presence in the rare earth ecosystem. This marks one of the first collaborations between the state and the private sector in this domain, supporting the nation’s ambitions of building self-reliance and strengthening capabilities in critical minerals, especially rare earth elements.
The project involves setting up a pilot project for the processing of monaziterich tailings and residue to produce rare earth mixed compounds, followed by the downstream separation of Rare Earth Elements (REEs). This initiative marks a significant step toward strengthening India’s domestic capabilities in the critical and high-value rare earth value chain. The scope of work covers end-to-end execution, including mineral processing to produce high-purity monazite concentrate (≥96%), extraction of rare earth mixed compounds (≥99%), and their separation into individual REEs, along with technology development, pilot plant design, installation, and optimization, as well as R&D, regulatory compliance, and technical data management.
Midwest is India's largest producer and exporter of Black Galaxy Granite, a premium variety of granite, which has a sparkling feature with flakes of a golden hue. It is used in real estate projects for applications including countertops and vanities, flooring, cladding, bathroom walls and floors.
