G Kishan Reddy Urges Mining Sector to Recover Critical Minerals

Union Minister G Kishan Reddy has called on the mining sector to prioritise the recovery of critical minerals from dumps and tailings to support green technologies and advanced alloys. Speaking at the 6th edition of 'Steel India 2025' in Mumbai, he urged testing and recovery efforts to be treated as a national priority.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India aims to develop a secure and sustainable raw material strategy. The National Steel Policy targets achieving 300 million tonnes of steel production capacity by 2030-31 and 500 million tonnes by 2047. The Ministries of Coal and Mines are taking proactive steps to align with this vision.

Reddy stressed the importance of operationalising greenfield mines swiftly to avoid wasting national resources. He highlighted enhanced coordination with the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change to streamline clearances.

He expressed confidence that collaboration between the Centre, States, and industry stakeholders would help India become a global leader in sustainable and self-reliant steel production. The coal and mining sectors are evolving to meet climate goals, reduce import dependence, and embrace innovation through a whole-of-government approach.
