The road construction companies are eying 20 per cent growth through this fiscal. With this, a plethora of opportunities have opened up for road equipment industry.

Ranked the No. 1 state in ease of doing business, Telangana is driving growth for a new India, as CW discovers.

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has approved the award of 31 contract areas as part of the Discovered Small Field (DSF) Bid Round 2016.

The market for construction and mining equipment is poised for growth, says Devendra Kumar Vyas, CEO - Financial Services, Srei Infrastructure Finance Ltd.

Indian soil is blessed with rich mineral resources and has a long history of mining, mineral production, and mineral utilisation. The mining sector in India is governed by the provisions of the Mines and Mineral (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 (MMDR Act) together with the rules prescribed there under.

Hundreds of minor minerals mines, which failed to obtain the National Green Tribunal (NGT) mandated environment clearance (EC) in Kota region were forced to discontinue operations, leaving thousands of labourers without work.

Parliament has cleared amendments to the MMDR Act to enable transfer of previously allotted captive non-coal mines.

Parliament´s recent approval of the Coal Mines Special Provision Bill 2015 has given the Indian mining sector a boost and paved the way for private players in commercial mining.

With the Centre proposing to give State Governments the powers to reserve end-use of any mine put up for mining lease (ML) auction, steelmakers have reason to cheer as merchant miners with deep pockets can be kept away, if state governments so desire.
