AMNS, Keonjhar dist admin sign pact to develop Thakurani mine

AMNS, Keonjhar dist admin sign pact to develop Thakurani mine

ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AMNS), a joint venture between ArcelorMittal, the world’s largest steelmaker and Japan-based Nippon Steel, has inked an agreement with the Keonjhar district administration to start mining operations again from the Thakurani iron ore lease.

Thakurani with balance reserves of 180 million tonnes of iron ore is among the 24 merchant mining blocks whose tenure ended on March 31, 2020. AMNS had wrested this mine at Odisha’s online auctions after quoting a steep premium of 107 per cent.

With the signing of Mine Development Cum Production Agreement (MDPA), AMNS looks all set to commence mining from July.

AMNS is the first among the new leaseholders to have executed the MDPA. The agreement signing was overseen by Ashish Thakre, collector & district magistrate, Keonjhar.

Thakre is reaching out to the lessees to get the MDPAs signed on time. Once all leaseholders have inked MDPAs, the state mines department will issue grant orders.

Keonjhar is the nerve centre of Odisha’s mining activity. Joda that houses a cluster of captive and merchant mines, is amongst the most prolific mining zones in the country.

Merchant mines after the expiry of lease validity on March 31 this year have remained suspended since then as Covid tore into the local economy, shrinking demand and leading to the quarantine of workforce engaged in mining.

The recommencement of mining activity at merchant owned leases is critical to reviving plummeting revenues of the state government.

With the April-June quarter proving to be a complete washout due to the virulent pandemic, expectations are running high to offset the revenue losses during the remainder of the fiscal year 2021.

In FY20, the state had garnered mining revenue in upwards of Rs 10,000 crore. The segment is the largest contributor to Odisha’s non-tax revenue basket.

Auctions of the merchant mine blocks are set to bring in windfall gains for the state’s coffers. The state government is estimated to gain around Rs 20,000 crore by way of incremental revenue through the lease period of the blocks spanning 50 years.

10 Years in positive journalism, and counting…..

One decade of carrying positive journalism is no less than providing a service to the nation. As a result, the fear of losing the respect of the readers is what prevents us not to be stopping to any publications related to those inspiring personalities on a regulative basis in order to attain inspiration. We believe that we have espoused the cause of positive and developmental journalism with utmost honesty and rigor. Unfazed by the competing media platforms who are obsessed with the TRP game and have no qualms in compromising time honored media ethics, we can safely claim we are out of this mad race for recognition. Rather, we chose the path less trodden. And, that has positioned The Interview Times where you find it today. We chose to play up the stories of those personalities who climbed the success ladder by the dint of their grit and gumption. These were the stories which escaped the wide lens of the big media. That is the narrative which you and I find relatable. And, we count on your support and patronage to keep this tradition running.

Once again, I would like to state that the entire family of Interview Times Media Network is firmly committed to positive journalism in pursuit of making a better society in the days to come. Journalism is a passion for us, not a profession. Let’s celebrate.

In this traumatic pandemic, a thank you note is incomplete without saluting the departed as well as those who lost their loved ones while pursuing journalism selflessly. Hope better days are in the offing with light and rays.

It is therefore asked all of your’s noble donations to sustain the importance of pursuing positive journalism round the year.Lets value it sacredly.
