Ministers Lead Talks on Mining Sector Reforms

High-Level Session Explores Reforms in India's Mining Sector
Union Minister for Coal and Mines, Shri G. Kishan Reddy, and Minister of State Shri Satish Chandra Dubey chaired a high-level brainstorming session on mining sector reforms in New Delhi. Secretary (Mines) Shri V.L. Kantha Rao and senior ministry officials were also present.
The session focused on engaging with industry leaders and stakeholders to identify necessary regulatory, structural, and operational reforms aimed at unlocking the full potential of India's mining industry. The reforms are intended to align with the national goals of Viksit Bharat@2047 and Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
Over 45 senior representatives from major mining and metal companies—including Tata Steel, JSW, Vedanta, Adani, and Hindalco—took part in the discussions. Participants offered policy recommendations and shared practical insights into key challenges involving mineral exploration, auction processes, project approvals, logistics, and the promotion of sustainable mining practices.
The Ministry addressed industry concerns and invited further input to streamline processes, remove bottlenecks, and enable quicker execution of mining projects. The initiative builds on the Ministry's reform momentum since the introduction of the auction regime in 2015.
Reaffirming its commitment to positioning India as a global leader in responsible and efficient mining, the Ministry stressed its continued focus on creating a transparent, investor-friendly, and innovation-driven ecosystem to drive economic and industrial growth.
