The Ministry of Mines through press release dated 06 September 2021 has introduced measures for mineral Exploration. In furtherance of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Act, and to realize the vision of ‘Atma-Nirbhar Bharat’, the Geological Survey of India has delineated 100 geologically potential mineral blocks for auction.
Handing over of these 100 Reports to the State Governments will ensure continuous supply of minerals in the country and more revenue to the State Governments by bringing more number of mineral blocks under auction.
