India is blessed with over 3 billion tons of bauxite reserves and approx. 300 billion tons of coal reserves, thus making India one of the most preferred destinations for setting up integrated aluminium complexes across the globe. However, a number of mining projects are on hold due to environmental and social beliefs and customs. Along with that, coal & bauxite availability should be supported by good infrastructure for optimum utilization. There are a number of issues present at the implementation level and project execution level when it comes to mining, pertaining to forest clearance and land acquisition etc. To execute the Make in India campaign of the central government, it is very important to invest on the mining sector and make its operations smooth so that the allied industries can improve accordingly.
