New Delhi: The 2nd North‑East Geology & Mining Ministers’ Conclave kicked off in Guwahati on June 27–28, 2025, marking a strategic move under the ‘Vikasit Bharat’ vision to harness the North-East’s mineral and coal potential.

Eight States, Unified Vision for Regional Development

Ministers of geology and mining from all eight North‑Eastern states, along with the Assam Chief Minister, gathered to promote sustainable mining, simplify regulatory processes, and strengthen centre‑state coordination in resource-led growth.

Geological Survey of India Unveils Exploration Reports

The Geological Survey of India (GSI) showcased fresh findings and released key publications detailing mineral mapping and resource potential. These insights aim to inform investment decisions and guide future exploration.

MoUs and NMET Drive Strategic Exploration

Several Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) were signed to accelerate mining under the National Mineral Exploration Trust (NMET). These agreements will foster structured, data-driven exploration and expand public–private collaboration in the North-East.

Mineral Auction Push Gains Momentum

India has launched 515 mineral blocks for auction, with 161 blocks awarded since 2024–25, including five in Assam and four critical mineral blocks in Arunachal Pradesh—paving the way for industrial expansion and regional employment.

Coal and Clean Energy Momentum Unveiled

The Ministry of Coal released two reports: one on coal resource development and exploration in the North-East, and another focused on commercial coal mining. Notably, mining five coal blocks in the region will yield 1.234 million tonnes per annum.

Meanwhile, NLC India Ltd. announced plans to deploy 1,000 MW of solar power in Assam, aligning mineral extraction with non‑fossil energy targets and regional sustainability.

Conclave to Shape Northeast’s Economic Future

The Guwahati conclave brings together policymakers, industry experts, researchers, and investors to catalyse innovation, boost investment, and achieve inclusive growth in the North-East through resource-driven sustainability.
