AP eases entry into mining sector with policy overhaul
The first-cum-first licence system was followed in the state during the previous TDP regime. However, the YSRCP regime suspended it to bring the auction system. Although, the auction system helped rake up more revenue to the exchequer, it is believed to have pushed the mineral sector into the hands of a few select players. The influential contractors threatened the new players from filing the bids and grabbed the licences for the most attractive mineral leases.
The state govt in fact released new mining policy 2025-30 recently. In line with the new policy, the industries and commerce department worked out guidelines for issuance of leases and licences for the minor minerals in the state. The tender-cum-auction system will, however, continue for major minerals.
The state govt directed the mines and geology director to consider all the pending applications for grant of leases since 2014.

The revival of the old policy is likely to help young and enthusiastic entrepreneurs to enter into the mining sector with investments and create more employment.
Leases for as many as 16 minor minerals including granite, road metal, building stones, kerbs, limestone, mosaic chips, M-sand will be granted through first-cum-first basis. The leases will also be granted in private patta and forest lands after getting required clearances from the concerned authorities.
"The leases/licences in govt/forest lands will be granted to those who first secured NOC from the authorities concerned. Mere filing application with the mines and geology department will not work," said a senior official of mines and geology department.

Warren Buffett's 'vital' tip for valuating companies before you invest, says 'don't have to be an expert'
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett , revered for turning Berkshire Hathaway into a global powerhouse, is known for his emphasis on long-term investments. He focuses on businesses that he believes will maintain a competitive edge for decades to come and credits his success to discipline. Buffett's investment decisions are rooted in the longevity of a business, not its current performance. Warren Buffett's vital tip for investors 'You don't have to be an expert on every company, or even many," he wrote in a 1996 letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. "You only have to be able to evaluate companies within your circle of competence. The size of that circle is not very important; knowing its boundaries, however, is vital.'

If you aren't willing to own a stock for ten years, don't even think about owning it for ten minutes." According to a report in Investopedia, Warren Buffet urged investors to stick to a 'circle of competence,' investing only in businesses they fully understand. Live Events "Your goal as an investor should simply be to purchase, at a rational price, a part interest in an easily-understandable business whose earnings are virtually certain to be materially higher five, 10, and 20 years from now," Buffett wrote in the 1996 letter. ALSO READ: Social Security in August: Recipients to receive their checks on these dates. How can you make the most of it? Warren Buffett bases his investment choices on a company's long-term potential rather than its short-term performance. This philosophy guided his decision to invest in See's Candies in 1972 and Coca-Cola in 1988—both of which became highly profitable holdings that remain in his portfolio to this day. 'Buffett's style keeps you focused on what the business does and why it matters," Pamela Sams, a financial advisor at Jackson Sams Wealth Strategies, told Investopedia. "That's how you avoid mistakes and busted portfolios." 'People chase trends or fall for flashy numbers, but Buffett knows that revenue is meaningless if expenses are out of control, and leadership is critical for success,' Sams said. She cited Apple Inc. as a key example: Although Buffett initially steered clear of tech stocks, viewing them as beyond his expertise, he eventually recognized that Apple had cultivated unmatched customer loyalty and a durable brand. To him, it became less of a tech company and more of a consumer staple.
