The Central Government has made renewal of mining leases of public sector companies mandatory without going through the auction process. The amendment paves way for renewal of NMDC Donimalai mines where operation was suspended after lease expiry in Nov’18.
In Aug'19 Govt of Karnataka had decided to cancel the lease renewal order of NMDC's Donimalai mines in Karnataka in an order dated 17 Aug '19 and had further put for an auction sale of the expired mine lease block.
