Instamine invites you to learn more about Travancore Titanium Products Ltd. 

Travancore Titanium, which started the production of titanium dioxide in the year 1951, raised the capacity to 10 tonnes per day in 1960, the year in which the management of the Company was taken over by the Govt. of Kerala. The present level of production is 40-45 tonnes per day. It became a State Public sector unit in 1960, with the Government of Kerala owning 97.55% of the shares. Till recently, Travancore Titanium Products Ltd. was the only unit producing Anatase-grade Titanium Dioxide pigment, in India. 

The Company also installed its own Sulphuric acid plant to produce acid for captive consumption. In 1963 the capacity of Titanium Dioxide produced was further increased to 18 tonnes per day with a commensurate addition to the Sulphuric acid production also. Subsequently, a modern sulphuric acid plant was commissioned in 1996, which utilizes the tail gas recycling DCDA (Double Catalysis Double Absorption) technology. The alkali scrubbing system incorporated therein helps to keep sulphur dioxide emissions well within permissible limits and helps in maintaining a clean environment.
