Seeking to incentivise states towards ensuring that mines are placed faster for auctions, the Mines Ministry instituted an incentive scheme with an outlay of ₹5,000 crore for financial year 2026-27.
Incorporated under the Scheme for Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment (SASCI), it centres around quicker operationalisation of mines, readiness in placing mines for auction, governance and integration with the Ministry’s central monitoring portal.
