EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Ministry of Mines has the overall responsibility of determining policies and strategies in

respect of survey and exploration of all the minerals, other than natural gases, petroleum and

atomic minerals; for mining and metallurgy of non-ferrous metals like aluminium, copper, zinc,

lead, gold, nickel etc. and for administration of the Mines and Minerals (Regulation and

Development) Act, 1957 in respect of all mines and minerals other than coal, natural gas and

petroleum and related issues.

The Outcome Budget for the year 2016-17 begins with an overview of the functions of the

Ministry including attached office, subordinate office, autonomous bodies and Public Sector

Undertakings together with their organizational structure (Chapter-I).

The 2nd

Chapter of this document deals with financial outlays, projected physical outputs and the

budgeted outcomes. This chapter also brings out the financial outlays/I&EBR component of

PSUs. It has not been possible to disaggregate the data by sex, as in the mineral sector the

delivery point is not the individual.

The reform measures and policy initiatives of the Ministry in relation to the outputs and final

outcomes are discussed in chapter-III. The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation)

(MMDR) Act, 2015; its salient features, royalty revision, decentralization of minerals and

exploration activities.

Chapter-IV provides a review of past performance during 2014-15 and 2015-16 (upto December

2015) in terms of set-targets/milestones and their outcomes.

Chapter-V deals with financial review in terms of expenditure vis-à-vis Budget Estimates/

Revised Estimates for the past and current financial year.

Chapter-VI reviews the performance of statutory and autonomous bodies.

Monitoring Mechanism and Public Information System

The physical and financial performance is monitored consistently at different levels. This

includes weekly meetings/reviews; monthly reviews and quarterly reviews. The performance of

PSUs, on several specialized/emergent parameters, is also closely monitored. The GSI has

acquired a huge database in the earth sciences domain. With a view to providing access to

customers/end-users to this database on demand, GSI has finalized its „Data Sharing and

Accessibility Policy‟. Reports/maps will be made progressively available through the GSI portal,

which is now operational and also in the form of meta-data through the National Spatial Data

Infrastructure (NSDI). The IBM too hosted a website (http://ibm.gov.in) linked with the website

of the Ministry of Mines to bring in transparency, and to put sector-relevant information in

public domain.

CHAPTER-III

REFORM MEASURES AND POLICY INITIATIVES

1 The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) (MMDR) Act, 2015:

1.1 The Mines & Mineral (Development and Regulation) Act, (MMDR Act) 1957 is the

Central Act governing the Mineral Sector (other than Petroleum and Natural Gas) in the Country.

1.2 The scheme of MMDR Act, 1957 recognizes a substantial role for the State

Governments. State Governments have powers for making rules for grant of concessions in

respect of minor minerals; and levy and collection of royalty on minor minerals. Further, State

Governments have also been empowered to make rules for prevention of illegal mining and for

purposes connected therewith.

1.3 The other minerals are popularly known as major minerals. In the case of major minerals,

States substantially regulate and develop minerals subject to provisions of the Act. In the case of

Coal and Lignite and Atomic Minerals, States are required to take prior approval of the Central

Government to grant concessions. The Central Government retains the power of revision,

fixation of royalty etc. in respect of major minerals.

1.4 The rules framed under subordinate legislation include the Mineral Concession Rules

(MCR), 1960 for regulating the grant of reconnaissance permits, prospecting licences and mining

leases in respect of minerals and for purposes connected therewith and the Mineral Conservation

and Development Rules (MCDR), 1988 for the conservation and systematic development of

minerals in India and for the protection of environment by preventing or controlling any

pollution which may be caused by prospecting or mining operations and for such purposes.

1.5 The MMDR Act underwent a major amendment in 2015 through the Mines and Mineral

(Development and Regulation) Amendment Act, 2015. Some of the important provisions of the

Amendment Act are as follows:

(i) To improve transparency in the allocation of mineral resources, provisions have been

made to grant mineral concessions only through auction by competitive bidding,

including through e-auction. Auction will also enable the State Government to obtain

its fair share of the value of such mineral resources.

(ii) A saving clause has been provided to save the rights of those holding reconnaissance

permit or prospecting licence issued prior to the date of commencement of the

amendment, or where prior approval / letter of intent has been given by the Central /

State Government respectively for a mining lease.

(iii) To remove discretion in grant of renewals, the provisions for renewal of mining

leases has been removed. The period of a mining lease has been increased to 50 years.

After 50 years, a lease will be auctioned. Transition provisions have been provided to

maintain the supply of raw material.

(iv) In order to earmark funds for benefit of persons affected by mining, State

Governments will have to set up a District Mineral Foundation in every district

29

affected by mining. This will be funded by an additional levy, not exceeding one third

of the royalty.

(v) For the purpose of regional and detailed exploration, National Mineral Exploration

Trust to be established which will be funded by an additional levy not exceeding two

per cent of the royalty.

(vi) Provision has been made to allot mineral concessions without auction to Government

companies or corporations where the mineral bearing area had been reserved in

favour of such companies / corporations. A provision has been made that such

companies / corporations would make a payment of an amount as prescribed by the

Central Government.

(vii) For attracting private investment and the latest technology, a provision has been made

for easy transfer of mineral concessions which have been granted only through the

route of auction.

(viii) In order to encourage exploration, non-exclusive reconnaissance permit have been

introduced.

(ix) In view of the strategic importance of atomic minerals and to enable expeditious

development of such mineral resources, a provision has been made to empower the

Central Government to make separate rules for regulating the grant of mineral

concessions for such minerals and for purposes connected therewith.

(x) Stricter penalties like imprisonment upto five years and fine upto five lakh rupees per

hectare of the area and empowering State Governments to constitute Special Courts

for speedy trial of cases of illegal mining have been provided to curb the menace of

illegal mining.

1.6 The MMDR Amendment Act, 2015 was passed by the Parliament and the same notified

in the Official Gazette on 27.3.2015 and is deemed to have come into force with effect from 12th

January, 2015.

1.7 The following rules have been framed under subordinate legislation subsequent to the

MMDR Amendment Act, 2015:

(i) The Minerals (Evidence of Mineral Contents) Rules, 2015 for prescribing the parameters

of existence of mineral contents.

(ii) The Mineral (Auction) Rules, 2015 to prescribe the terms and conditions subject to which

mining leases shall be granted; terms and conditions, and procedure, subject to which the

auction shall be conducted including the bidding parameters for the selection; terms and

conditions for grant of prospecting licence-cum-mining leases; and terms and conditions,

and procedure, including the bidding parameters for the selection.

(iii) The Mineral (Non-exclusive Reconnaissance Permits) Rules, 2015 to prescribe the terms

and conditions for grant of Non-Exclusive Reconnaissance Permit.

(iv) The National Mineral Exploration Trust Rules, 2015 to prescribe the manner of usage of

funds accrued to the National Mineral Exploration Trust (NMET); the composition and

functions of NMET; and the manner of payment of amount to NMET.

30

(v) The Mines and Minerals (Contribution to District Mineral Foundation) Rules, 2015

[framed under section 9b] to prescribe the amount of payment to be made to the District

Mineral Foundation.

(vi) The Mineral (Mining by Government Company) Rules, 2015 to prescribe the period of

mining lease granted to Government companies or corporation and payments to be made

by such companies or corporation.

(vii) The Minerals (Other than Atomic and Hydro Carbons Energy Minerals) Concession

Rules, 2016 and the Atomic Minerals Concession Rules, 2016 to prescribe the procedures

for regulating the grant of reconnaissance permits, prospecting licences and mining leases

in respect of minerals and for purposes connected therewith.

2 District Mineral Foundation

2.1 To ensure that the interest of host population are protected and the benefit of the

economic activity in the mining sector equitably flows to those directly affected, provision has

been made in the MMDR Amendment Act, 2015 for the establishment of District Mineral

Foundation (DMF) in any district affected by mining related operations. The object of DMF is to

work for the interest and benefit of persons, and areas affected by mining related operations,

which is to be funded out of the contributions received from holders of mining lease.

2.2 The Mines and Minerals (Contribution to District Mineral Foundation) Rules, 2015

prescribes the rates of contribution to DMF as follows:

(i) 30% of the royalty for leases granted prior to 12.1.2015; and

(ii) 10% of the royalty for leases granted after 12.1.2015.

2.3 The manner in which the DMF shall work for the interest and benefit of persons and

areas affected by mining; as also the composition and functions of the DMF shall be prescribed

by the State Governments.

2.4 Directions have also been issued to all States to incorporate the „Pradhan Mantri Khanij

Kshetra Kalyan Yojana‟ (PMKKKY) into the rules framed by them for the District Mineral

Foundations.

2.5 The PMKKKY will be implemented by the DMFs of the respective districts using the

funds accruing to the DMF. At least 60% of PMKKKY funds will be utilized for: (i) drinking

water supply; (ii) environment preservation and pollution control measures; (iii) health care; (iv)

education; (v) welfare of women and children; (vi) welfare of aged and disabled people; (vii)

skill development; and (viii) sanitation. Up to 40% of the PMKKKY funds will be utilised for:

(i) physical infrastructure; (ii) irrigation; (iii) energy and watershed development; and (iv) any

other measures for enhancing environmental quality in mining district.

3 Mineral Auctions

3.1 All mineral concessions of major minerals will now be granted by the State Governments

only through auctions with effect from 12th

January, 2015 to foster transparency and discovery of

fair value.

31

3.2 To facilitate smooth transition to new auction regime, the Central Government along with

other central agencies has extended hand holding which is of crucial importance in rolling out

the first phase of auctions of mining blocks going on in mineral rich States. The key initiatives

taken by Ministry of Mines in this regard are as follows:

(i) Preparation of model tender documents.

(ii) Geological Survey of India (GSI) and Mineral Exploration Corporation Limited (MECL)

have shared 274 mineral exploration reports with the States for identification of

auctionable blocks.

(iii) To establish mineralization as per the Minerals (Evidence and Mineral Content) Rules,

2015, MECL and GSI have been engaged for scrutiny of geological reports and their

digitation.

(iv) Wherever required by State Governments, central agencies like MECON and SBICAP

have extended transaction advisory services for preparation of block specific bid

documents.

(v) MECON has also helped in identification of blocks through DGPS and total station

wherever required.

(vi) MSTC is extending its services of e-auction platform to all the blocks being put on

auction.

3.3 Status of E-auctioning of Mining Blocks:

(i) For the first round, 43 major mineral blocks have been notified across 8 States for

auction. Mineral blocks of iron ore, limestone, bauxite, tungsten and gold, have been put

up on auction by various State Governments.

(ii) Auction has concluded in Jharkhand for two blocks of Limestone and in Chhattisgarh for

2 blocks of Limestone and 1 gold block in February, 2016 and in Odisha in respect of 1

block of Iron ore in March, 2016 where the response has been very positive.

(iii) The summary results of the first six mining blocks successfully auctioned shows that

minerals with estimated value of resources over Rs. 29,800 crores have been disposed of

in a transparent manner. The additional revenue accruing to the States‟ exchequer

through auction works out to about Rs.13000 crores over the lease period in addition to

the payments received through royalty, DMF and NMET contributions which

approximately works out to Rs. 4565 crores, Rs.457 crores and Rs.91 crores

respectively.

3.4 Forthcoming auctions: The next round of auctions are to be held in April and May, 2016

for 22 mineral blocks in the States of Chhattisgarh (2 are limestone), Karnataka (14 blocks of

iron ore) and Andhra Pradesh (6 blocks of limestone).

4 Revision of Royalty

Royalty rates in respect of major minerals have been revised with effect from 1st September,

2014. The revision in royalty rates will lead to increase of approximately 41 percent in the

royalty revenues of State Governments.

32

5 Decentralization

The Government has notified 31 minerals as minor minerals and the said notification was issued

on 10th

February, 2015. These include minerals such as Ball clay, Chalk, China Clay, Dolomite,

Gypsum etc. The notification of these minerals as minor minerals will result in the regulation of

these minerals coming entirely within the jurisdiction of the State Governments.

6. Exploration

The Geological Survey of India (GSI) has been generating baseline geoscientific data and

carrying out regional exploration for mineral deposits i.e. upto G3/G4 exploration level of United

Nation Framework Classification (UNFC). Mineral Exploration Corporation Limited (MECL)

has been taking the process forward and carrying out detailed exploration of the deposits

identified by GSI i.e. upto G1/G2 level of UNFC. As the extent of detailed exploration being

carried out has been found to be inadequate for the envisaged growth in the mineral sector,

detailed exploration of mineral deposits has now been opened up for GSI and Central and State

agencies. GSI has, accordingly, taken up a number of detailed exploration programmes. Further,

in order to accelerate the exploration of minerals the Ministry has taken an important step by

establishing a National Mineral Exploration Trust.

6.1 National Mineral Exploration Trust (NMET)

The Central Government has established the National Mineral Exploration Trust (NMET) and

notified its Rules on 14.8.2015. The Trust was established vide section 9(C) of the MMDR

Amendment, Act 2015. It is a non-profit body, with the primary objective of promoting regional

and detailed mineral exploration in the country. The holder of a mining lease or a prospecting

licence-cum-mining lease shall pay to the Trust, a sum equivalent to two per cent of the annual

royalty paid in terms of the Second Schedule of the MMDR Act.

The funds of the Trust are envisaged to be utilized inter alia for the following activities:

a. Special studies / projects to identify, explore, extract, beneficiate and refine deep seated

or concealed mineral deposits.

b. Studies for mineral development and sustainable mining adopting advanced scientific

technological practices and mineral extraction metallurgy.

c. Regional and detailed exploration for strategic and critical minerals (e.g. rare earth

elements, tin, cobalt, lithium, germanium, gallium, indium, niobium, beryllium, tantalum,

tungsten, bismuth, selenium, molybdenum, nickel, etc).

d. Regional exploration in brown field areas of Obvious Geological Potential (OGP), for

deep seated deposits through modern technologies. OGP areas have higher geological

potential for occurrence of mineral deposits.

e. Detailed exploration in areas where regional exploration has been completed.

f. Ground and aerial geophysical survey and geochemical survey in OGP areas.

g. Facilitation for setting up of a national core repository to encourage research.

h. Capacity building of personnel engaged in exploration

33

i. Purposes necessary or expedient in the interest of conservation, development and

exploitation of mineral resources as decided by the Governing Body.

6.2 National Mineral Exploration Policy (NMEP)

For the continuing growth in mining sector and optimal extraction of our huge untapped

mineral resources, there is an urgent need to facilitate and provide an impetus to exploration

activity in the country. To meet this objective, the Government took up a comprehensive

review of its exploration strategy and is in the process of finalizing a National Mineral

Exploration Policy (NMEP).

The proposed NMEP encompasses diverse issues related to exploration like acquisition and

dissemination of pre-competitive baseline geoscientific data of the highest standards, creation

of a geoscience data repository, special initiative to probe deep-seated/concealed mineral

deposits, attracting private sector participation in exploration etc.

6.3 National Aerogeophysical Mapping Project (NAGMP)

An important component of baseline data is aerogeophysical data. In keeping with the

international best practices of providing pre-competitive aerogeophysical data to the stake

holders, GSI is gearing up to undertake national airborne geophysical survey in a mission

mode. The consultant for the NAGMP has been selected.

6.4 Digitization of Exploration Reports

As part of the endeavor of disseminating directly analyzable exploration data to the

stakeholders, GSI is in the process of digitizing its exploration reports which are currently

available in pdf format. More than 6000 mineral investigation reports of GSI will be covered in

the process. The exploration data will be made available in a geospatial format for easy access

and analysis by explorers. This is expected to have a far reaching impact on planning of further

investigation programs by stakeholders.

CHAPTER -VI

REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE OF STATUTORY AND AUTONOMOUS BODIES

Centres of Excellence

There are three centers of excellence which function as autonomous institutions under the

Ministry of Mines. They are:-

National Institute of Rock Mechanics

Jawaharlal Nehru Aluminium Research Development and Design Centre and

National Institute of Miners‟ Health

Their activities and performances are highlighted below.

6.1 The National Institute of Rock Mechanics

The National Institute of Rock Mechanics (NIRM) set up in 1988 is a premier centre for research

in applied and basic rock mechanics. The Institute carries out research projects funded by

government Ministries/Departments, public sector and private organisations related to

excavations in rock. It is the only institution in South Asia exclusively devoted to research in

rock mechanics and engineering. The research work carried out by the Institute is specialized and

unique in nature, and is of utmost importance to the nation. NIRM integrates theory and practice

to provide specialized services of rock mechanics/rock engineering for coal and non-coal mines,

civil engineering industries, hydroelectric power and nuclear power sectors, highways, railways

and rail-metro projects, and the oil & gas storage and other areas of infrastructure development.

6.2 The Jawaharlal Nehru Aluminium Research Development & Design Centre

The Jawaharlal Nehru Aluminium Research Development & Design Centre (JNARDDC) was

set up in 1989 as a joint venture of the Ministry of Mines, Government of India and UNDP with

a view to provide major R&D support system for the emerging modern aluminium industry in

India.

The Centre is also recognized as a scientific & industrial research organization by the

Department of Scientific & Industrial Research, Ministry of Science & Technology, Government

of India. It is the only institute of its kind in India pursuing the cause of R&D from bauxite to

finished product under one roof.

6.3 The National Institute of Miners’ Health

The National Institute of Miners‟ Health (NIMH) is an autonomous institute under Ministry of

Mines, set up by Government of India in 1990 with the objective of conducting applied research

in miners‟ health and providing technical support services to mining and mineral based industry.

The NIMH is the only Institute exclusively devoted to occupational health issues of mine

workers with its Vision “Safe Mines and Healthy Miners” endeavors to achieve its mission of

“Indian Mining & Mineral Industries sans Occupational Diseases”.
