Regulatory hurdles delay resumption of iron-ore mines in Karnataka

daya's picture

Only 15 mines have resumed mining with a combined capacity of 5.72 million tonnes per annum

Even as the Supreme Court allowed the reopening of iron-ore mines in Karnataka seven months ago, most are still waiting for regulatory approvals to restart operations. Only 15 (12 from Category A and three from Category B) with a capacity of 5.7 million tonnes (mt) a year have restarted operations.
