According to an official release from the Department of Information and Public Relations, “In line with the vision of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, there has been significant progress in the mining sector during the current financial year 2024-25.”
“From April to November 2024, the state earned a revenue of Rs 650 crore, which is 100 per cent more than the Rs 324.81 crore of the previous year,” it said.
In the last three years, the Directorate of Geology and Mining has made several policy reforms while working with transparency.
These include the e-tendering process, e-Ravanna portal upgrade and effective enforcement to stop illegal mining.
These efforts have taken the state’s mining revenue to new heights. In the year 2023-24, the state earned a revenue of Rs 645.42 crore against the target of Rs 875 crore, which was 40 per cent more than in 2022-23. At the same time, this revenue has increased by 100 per cent in the first 8 months of 2024-25.
