Lok Sabha passes Mines and Minerals Amendment Bill by voice vote
New Delhi, Aug 12 (UNI) The Lok Sabha today passed the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2025 by voice vote. The Bill aims to ensure the benefits of the mining sector reach the common people, introduce transparency in the allocation of mines and promote development in the sector. While presenting the bill in the Lok Sabha, Union Minister for Coal and Mines, G Kishan Reddy, said the proposed amendments aim to boost employment opportunities and ensure that tribals and those linked to the mining sector directly benefit from the reforms. He pointed out that prior to the Modi government, mine allocations were done with minimal oversight, allowing mafia groups to dominate the sector. This led to the Supreme Court cancelling 104 mine allocations due to corruption. He emphasised that the scenario has now significantly improved. Reddy also mentioned that the mining sector was once controlled by politically influential individuals and marred by exploitation. In contrast, he said, the current environment fosters development, with common citizens now seeing real benefits. Taking a dig at the Opposition members who were protesting the bill, he said that their opposition stems from a lack of faith in the people. Earlier, during the debate, BJP MP Malavika Devi highlighted that mine allocations were previously handled in an unethical manner, but reforms have changed that. She said the bill would help uplift the poor and improve the nation's global standing by ensuring transparency in mining. BJP's Brijmohan Agrawal called the legislation a key step towards the development of tribal regions, stating that it would benefit marginalized communities. CM Gurumoorthy Maddila of the YSR Congress and G Lakshminarayan from the Telugu Desam Party also took part in the discussion.

MRF logs lower net on higher revenue in Q1
Chennai, Aug 12 (UNI) Automotive tyre major MRF Ltd on Tuesday said it closed the quarter ended 30th June 2025 with a higher revenue and lower net. The company said during the first quarter of FY26 it has logged a standalone operational revenue of Rs.7,560.28 crore (Q1FY25 Rs.7,077.84 crore) and a net profit of Rs.484.23 crore (Rs.562.55 crore). On a consolidated basis, for the period under review, the company's total income stood at Rs 7,802 crore (Rs. 7,280 crore). The consolidated net profit for the quarter ended 30th June, 2025 is Rs. 500 crore (Rs.571 crore). Despite the increase in total income, profits for the quarter ended 30th June, 2025, declined due to an increase in input costs, MRF said in a statement. According to the company, the first quarter of the financial year normally sees an uptick in demand for vehicles, and therefore sales to vehicle makers improve along with improvement in replacement demand. But April 2025 started with a tariff issue, which was followed by a war in May and then early monsoons. This led to subdued market sentiments. New vehicle sales across categories were negative or flat except for the farm segment, which was unaffected by any of the above disruptions. UNI VJ ARN
