Parliament passes mining law amendments
The Parliament passed amendments to the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act Tuesday. Addressing the upper house, Union Coal and Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy said key reforms undertaken in the past decade have led to higher revenue.
“State governments used to earn Rs 68,000 crore from mining activities before reforms. Today, state governments earn Rs 6.85 lakh crore from them,” Reddy said.
