PMO Wants 20 Mining Blocks Revived
The New Indian Express Kalaburagi
|June 09, 2025
WITH at least 20 non-coal mining blocks in Odisha, auctioned between 2016-17 and 2022-23, continuing to be non-operational due to delays in statutory clearances and administrative apathy, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) has stepped in to speed up their progress.
Of the 44 non-coal mining blocks auctioned during the seven-year period, nearly half have failed to commence production despite regular reviews at the state-level and the PRAGATI cell of the PMO. That Odisha is facing huge revenue loss due to the delay notwithstanding, sources said, the issue has now drawn the attention of the highest level with principal secretary to the Prime Minister reviewing the status.
