India market has become one of the best development prospects of titanium pigment industry with the demand for titanium pigment up to 9-10% every year. Now, in India, about 70% of titanium pigment depends on imports, while India's reserves of ilmenite and rutile is one of the largest country in the world, and titanium dioxide contained also can be used in commercial production.

According to the "2012 India titanium pigment market of research report" published by the British MarketPublishers company BAC (Business Analytic Center), India's reserves of titanium ore is 85 million tons, and the reserves of titanium ore ranks the third in the global, only second to China and Australia. Rutile reserves is 7.4 million tons, accounting for 17.6% of the global titanium ore reserves.

The report says India titanium pigment production is relatively low. The ilmenite are mainly distributed in Kerala (Kerala), Tamil Nadu (Tamil Nadu), Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Pradesh) and Orissa (Orissa). But a lot of ilmenite is for exports, and not processing the ilmenite into titanium dioxide products.
