Will the Minister of MINES be pleased to state:

- (a) whether  the  Government  proposes  to  keep  some  of  the  iron  ore  mines  under  the ordinary category, if so, the details thereof; and
- (b) whether  the  Government  proposes  to  bring  all  the  captive  mines  taken  by  the  steel producers on lease under ordinary category by opening bids for the same, if so, the details thereof?

## ANSWER

## THE  MINISTER  OF  STATE  (INDEPENDENT  CHARGE)  FOR  POWER,  COAL,  NEW  & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND MINES  (SHRI PIYUSH GOYAL)

(a)  to (b): There  is  no  such  classification  of  mines  as  'ordinary  category'.  Some  of  the mining  leases  granted  for  iron  ore  have  been  granted  for  captive  purpose  where  the  entire quantity of mineral extracted from the mining lease is used in a manufacturing unit owned by the lessee.

The  Mines  and  Minerals  (Development  and  Regulation)  ( MMDR )  Act,  1957  was amended through the MMDR Amendment Act, 2015 which is deemed to have come into force with effect from 12th January, 2015.

One of the amendment provisions provides for the extension of tenure of the existing mining leases to ensure uninterrupted supply of mineral to the industry.  In this regard subsection (5) of section 8A of MMDR Amendment Act, 2015 provides for extension of the tenure of mining lease granted for captive purpose. The said sub-section is reproduced below:-

'(5) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-sections (2), (3) and sub-section (4), the period of lease granted before the date of commencement of the Mines and  Minerals  (Development  and  Regulation)  Amendment  Act,  2015,  where mineral is used for captive purpose, shall be extended and be deemed to have been extended up to a period ending on the 31st March, 2030 with effect from the date of expiry of the period of renewal last made or till the completion of renewal period, if any, or a period of fifty years from the date of grant of such lease,  whichever  is  later,  subject  to  the  condition  that  all  the  terms  and conditions of the lease have been complied with'.

On  conclusion  of  lease  period,  captive  mines  are  to  be  auctioned.  However,  sub Section (7) of the Section 8A of MMDR Amendment Act, 2015 provides:

'Any holder of a lease granted, where mineral is used for captive purpose, shall have the right of first refusal at the time of auction held for such lease after the expiry of the lease period'.
