Travancore Titanium Products Ltd. was incorporated on 18th of December 1946, to produce pigment grade Titanium dioxide from ilmenite
which is abundantly available as placer deposits on beaches near Kollam, 65 Kms north of the capital city, Thiruvananthapuram in the coastal state of Kerala,India.The unit was promoted by the then princely state of Travancore in collaboration with the British Titan Products (BTP) Company Limited, U.K.(now known as Tioxide Group Limited).The administrative control of the company was with a managing agency, Indian Titan Products Company.
The Company which started production at a modest rate of 5 tonnes per day, increased its capacity in stages to the present level of 40-45 tonnes per day. Till recently, Travancore Titanium Products Ltd., was the only unit producing Anatase grade Titanium Dioxide pigment, in India.Travancore Titanium Products, became a State Public sector unit in 1960,with the Goverment of Kerala 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 increased to 18 tonnes per day wuth a commensurate addition to the sulphuric acid production also.
Subsequently, a major expansion programme was undertaken and completed in 1973, increasing the realisable capacity to 45 tonnes per day of anatase grade TiO2. To meet the increased requirement of sulphuric acid, a third acid plant of 300 tonnes per day capacity was also put on stream.
Subsequently, a modern sulphuric acid plant was commissioned in 1996, which utilizes the tail gas recycling DCDA (Double Catalysis Double Absorption) technology.
The total man-power employed at present is arround 1300.
