Our Assessment

The government implemented a free sand policy via a Government Order effective 8 July 2024 (sand supplied free of cost except operational costs and statutory levies), pending the AP Sand Mining Policy, 2024. Implementation has drawn criticism over availability; an approved/government-domain citation is to be attached.
