Historic e-auctions, lithium breakthrough, sustainable strategies propel Chhattisgarh mining sector
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|March 19, 2025
Chhattisgarh has emerged as a trailblazer in mineral sector governance under the leadership of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, combining transparency, innovation, and sustainability to drive unprecedented economic growth.
The state recorded mineral revenue of 11,581 crore between April 2024 and February 2025, marking a 30-fold surge since its formation and building on the 13,000 crore revenue of FY 2023-24.
This transformative success is credited to digitized policies, strategic e-auctions, and eco-conscious mining practices.
A landmark achievement this fiscal year has been the successful e-auction of 44 mineral blocks, including India's first-ever lithium block in Korba's Katghora region.
Awarded to South Mykey Mining Company at a 76 per cent premium, the lithium reserve signals Chhattisgarh's role in advancing the National Critical Minerals Mission.
Ten critical and deep-seated mineral blocks, spanning gold, nickel-chromium, graphite, and glauconite, have also been auctioned, with exploration underway for additional lithium reserves in Sukma and Korba.

Shelved Knowledge
Independent India did not consciously ratify Macaulay's contempt; it did something less dramatic and more durable. It allowed the colonial syllabus to survive by inertia. Two centuries on, an Indian school-leaver can recite Newton's three laws and the Krebs cycle, but has rarely been asked, even in passing, to open the Aryabhatiya, the Caraka Samhita or the Arthasastra
