Vanshika Minerals is a mineral producer at Village Chokri Khurd, Tehsil Pipar City, district Jodhpur, Rajasthan 342601 — in the middle of the clay belt that supplies most of north-west India’s refractory and ceramic industry. The firm mines and processes ball clay, china clay (kaolin), soda feldspar and lime, and sells to plants that buy on a certificate of analysis rather than on a photograph.
The strongest reference the firm has is a customer, not a certificate: Vanshika Minerals has supplied RHI, one of the world’s largest refractory groups, for the last six years. A refractory brick plant qualifies a clay once and then keeps buying it or drops it within two lots, so six years of continuous supply says more about consistency than any brochure can.
What Vanshika Minerals produces
- Ball clay — refractory grade for fire bricks, ceramic grade for tiles and sanitaryware, 200 and 240 mesh powders, and mine-run lumps for buyers with their own grinding line
- Fire clay — for refractory mortar, castables and ramming mass, PCE 28–31
- China clay (kaolin) — washed 325 mesh powder and raw lumps
- Soda feldspar — 200 mesh ceramic and glass flux, low iron
- Lime — quicklime lumps and hydrated lime powder
Tested chemistry — ball clay powder
The laboratory report on the firm’s ball clay powder, tested against its own contract specification, reads:
| Test | Specification | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Al₂O₃ | 25 – 30 % | 28.1 % |
| Fe₂O₃ | 0 – 1.5 % | 1.07 % |
| TiO₂ | 0 – 2.5 % | 1.47 % |
| CaO | 0 – 1.0 % | 0.86 % |
| Loss on ignition at 1100 °C | 11.00 – 15.00 % w/w | 12.2 % |
| Sieve retention on 240 mesh | 5.0 % max | Pass |
Alumina in the high twenties with iron near 1 % is the combination a pressed fire brick body wants: enough alumina for refractoriness, little enough iron to keep the fired colour and the fluxing under control.

How buying through OZIANT works
Vanshika Minerals mines and processes the material. The export leg — DGFT compliance, certificate of origin, HS classification, inspection coordination, freight booking and the documentation pack — is handled by ZJELL Limited, OZIANT’s export consulting arm. Overseas buyers get one point of contact and a single set of papers instead of a mine at one end and a forwarder at the other.
Enquiries are answered within 24 working hours. A 5 kg sample of any grade goes out free of charge with the current certificate of analysis; the courier is billed at cost and credited back against the first commercial order. Minimum order is normally one 20 ft container, and two or three grades can share a box on separate pallets — which is how most first-time buyers test this supplier.
Markets served
The plant ships from Gujarat ports with weekly services to Jebel Ali, Singapore, Colombo and the US east coast. Existing and target markets are the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and Singapore, alongside the South and South-East Asian buyers who already account for most of India’s clay exports.
