My article on " Simpler Mining Tax model can mean more revenue for states" It is on recent Mines and Minerals Development Act 2026. States will benefit more from this Act.
Western Coalfields Ltd. retweeted
In this insightful column in the @IndianExpress, Shri @MahendraDevS, Chairman, Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, explores how a simpler and more predictable mining tax framework can unlock investment, strengthen state revenues and build a more competitive mineral sector.
He highlights how the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Act, 2026 is another step towards maximising revenue for states and adds to India’s mining reform journey, while advancing fiscal certainty, cooperative federalism and rational taxation.

In one of India’s most challenging underground rescue missions at Teesta VI, Coal India’s mine rescue teams showcased unmatched courage, resilience, and technical expertise.
Facing extreme conditions and putting duty above self, these brave rescuers stood as a symbol of commitment, compassion, and the indomitable spirit of service.
A heartfelt salute to the heroes who go beyond the call of duty to save lives.

With the implementation of The Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act 2026, key reforms have been introduced under the Coal Mines Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1948 and the Coal Mines (Special Provisions) Act, 2015 by replacing imprisonment and fines with civil penalties. Further, the penalising provisions under the Coal Bearing Areas (Acquisition and Development) Act, 1957 have now been limited to specific offences ensuring clear and targeted enforcement.
The core objective of this reform is transitioning from a punitive framework to a trust-based compliance system, securing a transparent and robust regulatory environment in the Coal Sector, improving the Ease of Doing Business.
