Industry overview

Barite is a mineral ore that is naturally occurring and is barium-based. Barite has a high density and is chemically inert but is relatively soft. Barite is explored in various regions all over the world, in various colors and deposit types. Its chemical and physical properties have found its wide-ranging applications in various industries, which has led to a surge in demand for barite mining. Based on the type of mine, the market is classified into open-pit and underground. The open-pit segment accounted for the major share of the market, and it is anticipated that it will maintain its attractiveness during the forecast period, as they provide greater recovery of the barite ore due to the increased maneuverability using heavy machinery. Open-pit mining is also a safer alternative to underground mining.

The India barite market size was estimated at $38.5 million in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2024 to 2030. The increasing demand for oil and gas, expansion in the renewable energy sector, and increased usage in paints and coatings are driving the demand for barite in the market. Barite is a dense mineral composed of barium sulfate (BaSO4) with a high specific gravity, making it valuable in various industrial applications. Barite is essential in the oil and gas sector, operating as a vital component in drilling fluids to regulate pressure and avert blowouts while drilling. Its inclusion is vital for upholding wellbore stability, managing formation pressure, and transporting rock fragments to the surface during drilling activities, thus guaranteeing operational safety and efficacy.

The Indian barite industry is dominated by a few key producers who hold a significant share of the market. These major players have established themselves as key suppliers in the industry. Furthermore, the barite industry requires substantial investments in mining operations, processing facilities, and transportation infrastructure. The significant barrier to entry poses a challenge for new entrants seeking to penetrate the market and compete with established manufacturers. India’s rice bran oil market is forecast to expand from around 565 million liters in 2025 to 757 million liters by 2030, implying a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 6.0% during 2025-2030.

Risks and concerns

Heavy reliance on subsidiary operations: The company is engaged in the business of procurement and supply of Barite and also manufacturing and selling crude rice bran oil and refining crude rice bran oil and the byproducts generated while processing of the finished products. Its subsidiaries, (1) Geo Min Commodities, Singapore, wholly-owned subsidiary and (2) Atlas Resources International, Morocco, wholly-owned step-down subsidiary, operates into high demand minerals segment in global markets.

These mines are subject to various operational, regulatory, environmental, and geological risks which may directly impact the availability, quality, and cost of barite supplied to the Company. Further, the procurement operations of its subsidiaries are also susceptible to risks relating to termination of procurement agreements, with or without notice, resulting in finding additional suppliers, which may impact quality, cost competitiveness and timely delivery to its customers. Any disruption or restriction on the mining operations either domestically or internationally, may have an adverse impact on its business operations.
