The bill has been already passed in the lower house of the parliament on July 28, 2023, and since the bill has been passed in the upper house as well, it is clear to be sent to the President of India for assent.
The bill focuses on critical minerals and introduces reforms in the mining sector, the Ministry of Mines said in a press release.
