Massive Revenue and Economic Impact

The state recorded a 23% increase in mineral revenue in FY 2024–25, surpassing ₹10,000 crore for the first time. In comparison, the revenue in 2023–24 stood at ₹4,958 crore. Madhya Pradesh has successfully auctioned a total of 103 mineral blocks, projected to generate ₹1.68 lakh crore in future revenues.

The government’s focus on transparent auctions, sustainable mining, and local community engagement has made the sector more investor-friendly, drawing in significant private interest.

Katni Conclave to Drive Industrial Focus

As part of its strategic industrial push, the state will host a Mineral and Industrial Development Conclave in Katni on August 23, 2025. The event aims to showcase investment opportunities, promote circular mining practices, and highlight new mineral discoveries. It follows the success of the October 2024 mining conclave in Bhopal, where the state received investment proposals worth over ₹20,000 crore.

Pioneer in Strategic Mineral Exploration

Madhya Pradesh is leading the way in mining critical and strategic minerals like gold, graphite, copper, manganese, and rock phosphate. Key developments include:

  • Diamond: The Majhgawan diamond mine in Panna is India’s only active diamond mine, producing over 1 lakh carats annually.
  • Gold: Gold blocks have been auctioned in Singrauli and Katni, with new finds reported in Jabalpur and Sleemanabad, indicating rich future prospects.
  • Copper: Malajkhand in Balaghat hosts India’s largest copper mine.

Tech-Driven Monitoring and Anti-Illegal Measures

To ensure responsible mining, MP is deploying 41 AI-powered e-check gates, along with drone and satellite-based geo-tagging and 3D imaging to monitor operations and curb illegal mining activities.

With vast mineral resources, robust policy frameworks, and forward-looking leadership, Madhya Pradesh is fast emerging as India’s mining capital. The upcoming Katni conclave is expected to further solidify the state’s industrial credentials and attract new investments in sustainable and strategic mining ventures.
