Rajasthan Sets Rs 140 Billion Mining Revenue Target For FY27

24 Apr 2026 CW Team

Planned measures include tighter monitoring of lease operations, streamlined licensing processes and greater use of digital tools for royalty collection and permit management. The department also intends to revise operational procedures to reduce leakages and to enhance surveillance of extraction activity. A focus on transparent auctions and better valuation methodologies formed a central part of the strategy, with attention to balancing industry growth and environmental safeguards. Coordination with local administrations features in operational rollout plans.

Higher receipts from mining are slated to support infrastructure spending and to replenish fiscal buffers within the state budget. Officials indicated that improving compliance and regularising informal activity would raise documented output without altering geological returns. The initiative is framed as a revenue mobilisation exercise that complements broader efforts to attract investment in mineral processing and related services. Emphasis was placed on predictable policy signals to foster stable long term engagement by operators.

The department set implementation milestones tied to the FY27 calendar and outlined monitoring mechanisms to track collections and auction outcomes. Administrative reforms are scheduled alongside capacity building for field teams and strengthened audit processes. The announcement positioned the target as part of the state government's wider agenda to leverage natural resources for development while maintaining regulatory oversight. Progress updates are to be issued through official channels during the year.
