Rajasthan Mines Department Aims For Rs 15 bn March Revenue

09 Mar 2026 CW Team

The Rajasthan Mines and Geology Department (the department) is aiming to collect Rs 15 billion (bn) in revenue during March as it seeks to close the financial year on a strong note. The target reflects the department's push to consolidate gains from the current year and improve fiscal realisation ahead of year end while ensuring regulated extraction.

The department has recorded revenue collections of about Rs 88.89 bn up to February, with February alone contributing around Rs 10.6 bn and representing the highest monthly intake to date, a level not seen earlier this fiscal year. Officials attributed the increase to higher mineral production, improved monitoring and persistent demand for construction materials and other key minerals extracted in the state, and said these combined factors have strengthened receipts. The performance indicates steady growth in the mining sector amid ongoing infrastructure and industrial activity.

Authorities have linked the rise in receipts to stronger enforcement, more efficient mineral dispatch tracking and rising activity across mining operations. Rajasthan supplies significant quantities of limestone, sandstone and gypsum as well as other industrial minerals, and the sector supports construction and wider economic activity in the region. Continued attention to transparent auctions and regulated practices has been presented as central to sustaining revenue flows and to support regulated and responsible mining.

Officials said the March revenue target is achievable given the current pace of extraction and regulatory oversight, and noted that strengthened monitoring mechanisms are being maintained. If the target is met, the state’s total mining revenue for the financial year will register a notable increase compared with the previous year. The sustained growth underscores the economic importance of Rajasthan’s mineral resources while emphasising the need for continued vigilance to ensure responsible revenue realisation.
