Rajasthan to Launch Online Mining Plan Approvals from 1 May

Starting 1 May, the Rajasthan government will shift the entire process of mining plan approvals for minor minerals and quarry licences to an online system, marking a significant administrative reform in the state’s mining sector. Principal Secretary of Mines T Ravikanth announced that the digital system will also cover associated procedures such as generating No Dues Certificates (NDCs) from the mining department and issuing receipts for RCC-ERCC contracts, which were previously handled manually.

“This reform will benefit around 30,000 minor mineral leaseholders and quarry licencees,” said Ravikanth. He added that applicants will no longer need to make repeated visits to department offices, as all submissions and approvals will be handled through the dedicated online portal.

Under the current rules, the Mines Department is expected to process approvals within 90 days, but delays are frequently reported. By digitising the system, the government aims to improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability. The platform will also allow applicants to track the status of their requests in real time.

The initiative is part of a wider effort to simplify bureaucratic procedures in the mining sector and promote ease of doing business in Rajasthan.
