India is endowed with vast mineral deposits, including coal, iron ore, bauxite, manganese, copper, lead, zinc and limestone. The country’s mining industry is governed by the Ministry of Mines, Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC), the Indian Bureau of Mines (IBM) and the Geological Survey of India (GSI).
India's mining industry is exclusively governed by the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957, also known as the MMDR Act. It has undergone multiple amendments, the most recent of which introduced major reforms intended to boost investment, improve transparency, and increase mineral production through the MMDR Amendment Acts of 2021 and 2023. In August 2025, the parliament passed the Mines and Minerals (Amendment) Bill 2025 to boost mineral production and attract investment. It removes the 50% sale cap on minerals from captive mines, allows lease area extensions for deep-seated minerals and enables sale of old mineral dumps.
