Mining Concessions
New Delhi: April 13, 2010
The activities/actions required on the part of the grantee
company/individual in extraction of a mineral for which a mineral
concession has been granted are: execution of lease deed, commencement
of mining operations within two years of the date of execution of
lease, informing the State Government and the Indian Bureau of Mines
(IBM) about employment of qualified persons and commencement of the
operation; carrying out operation in a proper and skillful manner;
building infrastructure and creating site services including
establishment of workshop, erection of machinery, construction of
roads, opening of mine office, establishment of magazines for storage
of explosives, if applicable, development of the area etc.
Grant of prior approval of the Central Government is required for the
minerals specified in Parts B and C of the First Schedule to the Mines
and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957.
The State Governments are the owners of the minerals located within
their respective boundaries. They grant the mineral concessions
[Reconnaissance Permit (RP), Prospecting Licence (PL) and Mining Lease
(ML)] under the provisions of the Mines and Minerals (Development and
Regulation) (MMDR) Act, 1957. Prior approval of the Central Government
is required under Section 5 (1) of the Act for grant of RP, PL and ML
in respect of the minerals specified in Parts 'B' and 'C' of the First
Schedule to the Act. Subsequent to the prior approval of the Central
Government, mining leases etc. are executed by the State Governments
with the mining agencies after they obtain all statutory clearances
and approvals.
The Ministry of Mines is conscious of the need to have a transparent
and efficient system for processing the mineral concession cases. In
pursuance of the National Mineral Policy, 2008, which inter alia
enunciates adoption of quick and transparent procedures for grant of
mineral concessions, the Ministry has taken several steps in this
direction, including constitution of Central
Coordination-cum-Empowered Committee in the Ministry of Mines to
monitor and minimize delays in grant of approvals for mineral
concessions. The Committee consists of the Central
Ministries/Departments concerned and the Secretaries in charge of
Mining & Geology in the States. Several meetings of the Committee have
been held since its constitution in March 2009.
All instances of corruption and illegal mining practices which come to
the notice of this Ministry are taken up with State Governments and
followed up expeditiously.

Production of Iron Ore
New Delhi: April 13, 2010
During the year 2008-09 the production of iron ore was 215 million
tonnes and the domestic demand was 85 million tonnes. Mining of
minerals depends broadly on availability of mineral resources,
economic viability, demand of the market etc. Under the liberalised
economic environment, investment decisions, including choice of
location, are taken by the entrepreneurs based on their
techno-economic judgements and commercial considerations.
The Government has enunciated the new National Mineral Policy, 2008
which envisages streamlining and simplifying the procedures in grant
of mineral concessions in order to attract investment into mining
sector. The Government has also revised the threshold values for 12
minerals, including iron ore, which would entail stacking and
utilisation of low grade ore. These policy initiatives would provide
suitable environment for optimum exploitation of the mineral potential
of the country.
