Most of the clay based industries in India scattered and only few of the ceramic industries are located nearer to the clay mines area. The industries located nearer to the mines area enjoying the benefit of lower cost towards the raw materials and the industries located far away from the mines are incurring huge cost towards the raw materials and most of the cost is for the transport charges. To reduce the raw material cost they need to use the locally available clays by better beneficiation and blending process. Even though the cost of beneficiation and blending is an additional cost, the ultimate cost of the raw materials comes down considerably when they use local clays by using better beneficiation technology.
