The Company
Travancore titaniums limited was incorporated on the 18th of December 1946, to produce pigment grade Titanium dioxide from ilmenite which is available as placer deposits near the beaches of kollam, 65 kilometers north of the capital city, Thiruvananthapuram in the coastal state of kerala. The unit was promoted by the then princely state of Travancore in association with the British titanium products company limited. The administrative control of the company was with a managing agency , Indian Titan products company.
The company wich started production at the moderate rate of 5 tonnes per day increased its capacity in stages to the present capacity of 40-45 tonnes per day. Till recently, Titanium products limited was the only company producing anatase grade titanium dioxide pigment in India. Travancore Titanium products became a state public sector unit in 1960 with the kerala government owning 80.94 of the shares.
Production of titanium dioxide commenced in the year 1951 and the capacity was raised 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 company also installed its own Sulphuric acid plant to produce acid for captive consumption. In 1963 the capacity of titanium dioxide produced was further raised to 18 tonnes per day with a commensurate addition to the production of sulphuric acid also.
Subsequently, a major expansion programme wasundertaken and completed in 1973, increasing the realizable capacity to 45 tonnes per day of anatase grade titanium dioxide. To meet the increasing demand, a third sulphuric acid plant of 300 tonnes per day capacity was also put on stream.
