Crushed Stone, M-Sand to Cost Rs 1K More Per Tonne in Tamil Nadu

Starting Tuesday, the price of crushed stone, M-Sand, and P-Sand will increase by Rs 1,000 per tonne across Tamil Nadu, the Tamil Nadu Stone Quarries, Crusher Units and Lorry Owners Association announced on Monday.

Following negotiations with Minister for Water Resources, Minerals and Mines Duraimurugan and senior officials, the association confirmed that its recent strike—called to protest revised taxes and the introduction of a mineral-bearing land tax—has now been withdrawn.

Association president K Chinnasamy stated that the revised rates are essential to offset the additional tax burden. As per the new prices, crushed stone will now cost Rs 5,000 per tonne, M-Sand Rs 6,000, and P-Sand Rs 7,000 per tonne.

He assured that the price hike was limited strictly to covering the increased tax costs and urged public cooperation, noting that operations had become financially unsustainable at previous rates.

A government release noted that quarry operators were also informed about upcoming orders concerning lease extensions and amalgamations. Their concerns regarding the State Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority and other issues will also be reviewed.
