Developing
Vishnu Deo Sai Chhattisgarh aims to build a complete mineral value chain within the state, covering exploration, mining, processing, value addition, advanced manufacturing and recycling, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said on Monday.
Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said the state’s mineral revenue, which was around Rs 400 crore when Vishnu Deo Sai Chhattisgarh was formed, has now risen to more than Rs 16,000 crore. Addressing a roadshow for the eighth tranche of the auction of critical and strategic mineral blocks, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said the state’s mineral wealth and potential in critical minerals could attract investment, support new industries and create employment opportunities.
Mineral Resources Secretary P Dayanand said the state was strengthening scientific exploration, geological data collection, mapping and transparent auction systems to promote mineral-based industries, local employment and value addition.
Chhattisgarh Mineral Development Corporation Managing Director Rajat Bansal said 65 mineral blocks had so far been auctioned in the state, with potential revenue estimated at around Rs 4 lakh crore. Two MoUs were also signed during the programme, including one between Chhattisgarh Mineral Development Corporation and Indian Overseas Bank for financial cooperation, and another with Pt Ravishankar Shukla University for training in corundum cutting and polishing.
He said Vishnu Deo Sai Chhattisgarh has potential for lithium and rare earth elements in Katghora and Bastar, graphite, vanadium and gallium in Balrampur, phosphorite in Balod, and nickel, chromium and glauconite in Mahasamund.
He said 40 exploration projects had been launched and more than 2,800 km of geological surveys completed over the past two and a half years.
