PREFACE
Indian Bureau of Mines is the custodian for all Mineral & Mining information in the country. As part of its regular activity, it undertakes the function of updatating and preparing the Directory of Mining Leases as a continuous exercise wherein compilation of country-wide information on mining leases and prospecting licences granted / executed / renewed / revoked / surrendered are carried out, assorted, analysed and disseminated by way of published documents, namely, Bulletin of Mineral Information and Bulletin of Mining Leases and Prospecting Licences etc.
Presently in its fourteenth edition, this publication - The Bulletin of Mining Leases and Prospecting Licences 2011 - contains information on mining leases, prospecting licences as well as reconnaissance permits as on 31.3.2011. Information contained in the Directory of Mining Leases after assortment and analysis with different parameters have been segregated into statewise, districtwise, mineralwise and sectorwise for easy comprehension of the data on distribution of Mining Leases/ Prospecting Licences/ Reconnaissances Permits executed across the country with clearer demarcation of high, medium and low mineral potential bearing districts. Exhaustive information on mining leases abridged concisely for easy assimilation will suit the convenience of readers be they be enterpreneurs or policy makers. This type of information exclusive in coverage in the subject relating to Mining
leases & Prospecting Licences is largely aimed at providing the much-needed and latest information to all the stakeholders of the Mineral Industry. Predominant portions of this publication owes their basis to the updated Directory of Mining Leases as on 31.3.2011, which in turn was compiled from the data supplied by the different State Governments under the statutory provision of Rule 57 (2) of MCR,1960. Insofar as prospecting licences/ reconnaissance permits are concerned, the individual licence/permit deeds and the consolidated annual returns received under Rule 57(1) and (2) of MCR, 1960 for the same period have been utilised. Besides the above, the approval orders in case of reconnaissance permits were also used as sources of information.
ii
I, hope that the analysis and information presented in this publication will be useful and handy in the process of planning & programming new ventures, commissioning new projects for mineral-based industries and in judicious utilisation of mineral resources of the country.. In the end, I would like to express IBMs sincere thanks to all the State Government Departments for furnishing information of mining leases, prospecting licences and reconnaisance permits and would solicit their cooperation in the future as well.

India has a total geographical area of about 328 million hectares. Of this, the mining lease area, except for fuel and atomic minerals, constitutes around 0.17% (547814 hectares). The position of mining leases as on 31.3.2011 reveals that there are as many as 11,003 mining leases (compared to 10,488 in the previous year) granted in the country by the State Governments covering 65 minerals (excluding coal, lignite, petroleum, natural gas, atomic minerals and minor minerals) with a total area of 547814 hectares and spread over 23 States. These 65 minerals are broadly classified into metallic and non-metallic minerals. This bulletin highlights statewise, sectorwise and district wise distribution of mining leases, prospecting licences and reconnaissance permits, frequency distribution of mining leases, etc. Though apparently negligible, the mining lease area of the country is considered as an important land use segment as it contributes to the economic growth of the country. Besides, it calls for environmental protection, as land under lease gets subjected to degradation during the process of mining activities.
India is well-endowed with a wide variety of naturally occurring minerals. These are being exploited to cater to the needs of domestic mineral-based industries as well as to meet export demands to earn foreign exchange. Today, as many as 65 minerals including major metallic and non-metallic minerals are being exploited in the country excluding coal, atomic and some minor minerals. The Indian Mineral Sector is opened fully to private sector including domestic and foreign. The Government of India in its new National Mineral Policy 2008 has enunciated policy measures like assured right to next stage mineral concession, transferability of mineral concessions and transparency in allotment of concession in order to reduce delays and with a purpose to weed out impediments that hinder inflow of investments and technology into the Mining Sector of the country. These policy initiatives would provide suitable environment for exploration and judicious utilisation of the countrys mineral wealth. Apart from these, the National Mineral Policy has enunciated several policy measures that seek to strengthen the framework/ institutions that support the Indian Mining Sector which includes Geological Survey of India, Indian Bureau of Mines and State Directorates of Geology & Mining. In order
In order to give effect to the direction envisioned in the new Mineral Policy, the Ministry of Mines has promulgated the review and refurbishing of the existing Act and has prepared the draft of the new Act, namely, Mines & Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 2010, with the aim to develop the Mineral Sector of the country in a holistic manner. As per existing MMDR Act, 1957, the limit of maximum area under RP, PL and ML is 10,000 sq. km, 25 sq.km and 10 sq.km respectively in a State. Under Rule 57 (1) of MCR,1960, a copy of every reconnaissance permit, (no provision for renewal of reconnaissance permits), prospecting licence and mining lease granted or renewed shall be supplied by each State Government within two months of such grant or renewal to the Controller General, Indian Bureau of Mines. Besides, under Rule 57 (2) of MCR,1960 all the State Governments/Union Territories are required to submit to the Controller General, Indian Bureau of Mines, a consolidated annual return of reconnaissance permits/prospecting licences/mining leases granted or executed in Proforma A; prospecting licences/mining leases renewed in Proforma B; and termination of mining leases & reasons for termination in Proforma C for the preceding financial year ending in March. The above statements for the previous financial year are required to be submitted to Indian Bureau of Mines on or before 30th June each year by every State Government. From such information received from all the State Governments under statutory provisions, the information pertaining to mining leases and prospecting licences is compiled, processed and updated. These stored data is retrieved and made available for further requisite studies, analysis and for consumption of information seekers.

Out of the entire geographical area, about 67% are under croped area. permanent pastures & other grazing lands and forest. The mining lease area, constitutes around 547,814 hectares which is approximately 0.17% of the total geological area. However, mining lease area, though a minuscule segment in the total land area, continues to be an important segment and an essential contributing factor to the economy of the country. At the same time there is an imperative need to pay due attention to environment aspects as these land areas under mining leases are subjected to various processes of mining activity and are liable to degradation.
