Centre Launches Mining Dashboard for Real-Time Monitoring

05 Jun 2025 CW Team

Union Minister for Coal and Mines, Shri G. Kishan Reddy, has launched the ‘Mining Dashboard’—a centralised digital platform developed by the Ministry of Mines to monitor the status of auctioned mineral blocks and their statutory clearances across India. The platform aims to improve transparency, efficiency, and accountability in the mineral sector.

The launch follows the reforms introduced under the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 (as amended), which established an auction-based system for granting mining rights. So far, 500 mineral blocks have been auctioned across 16 states—466 by State Governments and 34 critical mineral blocks by the Central Government. Of these, 64 blocks have been operationalised.

The Mining Dashboard provides a structured, real-time monitoring mechanism to identify procedural bottlenecks, ensure timely government interventions, and support faster commencement of mining operations. It is intended to serve Central and State authorities, project developers, and industry stakeholders by offering actionable insights and data-driven decision-making tools.

By streamlining oversight and clearance tracking, the dashboard is expected to accelerate domestic mineral production, reduce dependency on imports, and contribute to India’s broader economic growth.
