Proper monitoring on execution and appropriate
measures are taken by GSI to complete targets on time. GSI has developed
mechanism for monitoring of the set targets through Stage Review and Mid Term
Review of the projects wherein the progress of the projects are discussed
thoroughly and midcourse corrections, if any, are suggested. All projects are
reviewed and it is ensured that targetsset are completed on time. Moreover,
monthly monitoring of the targets and achievements are carried out both, in
GSI, as well as in the Ministry and corrections, if any, are taken up.

Allowing Private Sector in Mineral Exploration
TheMines and Minerals (Development and Regulation)
Amendment Act, 2015 (MMDR Amendment Act, 2015) has,besides Mining Lease (ML),
two specific provisions for mineral exploration viz. Non-exclusive Reconnaissance
Permit [NERP] and Prospecting License-cum-Mining Lease [PL-cum-ML] through
which private sector can participate in mineral exploration.
The allocation of mineral blocks through auction is
carried out by the respective State Governments. The details of the mineral
blocks auctioned to private sector bidders are as follows:

Investment in Mining Sector
The mining sector has been
liberalized since the year 1993 and it is dominated by large number of private
sector miners. Under the liberalized economic environment, investment decisions
are taken by the entrepreneurs based on their techno-economic feasibility and
commercial considerations. However, the proposed
project-wise investment details of Public Sector Undertakings under the
Ministry of Mines viz Hindustan Copper Limited, National Aluminium Company
Limited and Mineral Exploration Corporation Limited are as follows:-
