Indore: After significant delays, power loom cluster at Mohammadpura in Burhanpur district, is set to be allocated to industries from Sept. District Industries and Trade Centre (DIC) under the MSME department has completed development of the power loom cluster. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It has prepared to begin allocations next month. The project, initially scheduled for completion in 2023, was stalled due to a slow flow of funds. "The power loom cluster at Mohammadpura is ready and allotment of land to industries in the cluster is expected to be carried out in Sept. The procedure due to be completed before starting the allotment process has been initiated," said Atmaram Soni, general manager at Burhanpur DIC. The cluster comprises 64 industrial lands and spans approximately 7.6 hectare under the Micro and Small Enterprises - Cluster Development Programme (MSE-CDP), with an estimated development cost of Rs 12.9 crore. Under the scheme, the state will contribute 60 percent of the development cost, while the Centre will are the remaining 40 percent. "The estimated investment likely to be generated from industries for this cluster is more than Rs 100 crore.

Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill 2025 gets Parliament's approval
New Delhi, Aug 19 (UNI) The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2025, aimed at promoting exploration, mining, and processing of critical and rare minerals and liberalising the overall mining regulatory framework to attract investments, was passed by the Rajya Sabha today. With this, the Bill has received approval from both Houses of Parliament. After a reply by Union Minister for Mines G Kishan Reddy during the discussion in the Upper House, the Bill was passed by a voice vote without any amendments. The Lok Sabha had already passed it earlier. Amid Opposition uproar over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar during Zero Hour, the Rajya Sabha was adjourned once in the morning. When the House reconvened at 2 pm, Congress and other Opposition parties again raised the issue, but Deputy Chairman Ghanshyam Tiwari did not allow it. Protesting the decision, Opposition members walked out of the House. Afterwards, Union Minister Reddy introduced the Bill and outlined its key objectives. During the debate, 19 members from various parties participated and supported the Bill while offering suggestions. In his reply, Reddy referred to the coal scam and the opacity, nepotism, and corruption that plagued the mining sector before 2014. He said the Modi government's reforms have restored public trust in the mining sector and led to economic benefits and significant transformation. Describing the mining sector as a source of prosperity and employment, Reddy said the Bill is inspired by the goal of harnessing its potential. He noted that due to reforms over the past decade, mining has grown rapidly, and states' revenues have increased tenfold. All proceeds from mineral premiums, royalties, and other levies go to the states. He emphasised that the central government works for the nation's development, not just revenue collection. He also highlighted that India's coal production has reached one billion tonnes annually for the first time, imports have declined, and foreign exchange has been saved. Thermal power plants now have a 27-day coal stock, up from the previous average of 10–17 days. The Prime Minister, he said, personally reviews daily reports on coal stock at power plants. "Our ministry is fully prepared to meet every state's coal demand," Reddy said. He added that India is currently 100% dependent on foreign countries for critical minerals. To reduce this dependency, the Modi government has launched a Rs 32,000 crore Critical Minerals Mission and established a new PSU called KABIL (Khanij Bidesh India Ltd). Reddy informed the House that KABIL, a joint venture of National Aluminium Company, Hindustan Copper Ltd, and Mineral Exploration and Consultancy Limited, has secured five rare mineral blocks in Argentina, from which India will source lithium. In Zambia, India has obtained exploration rights over 9,000 sq km for critical minerals. Addressing criticism of the Prime Minister's foreign trips, Reddy said that during a recent tour of five countries, PM Modi held significant discussions on critical minerals in each nation. "We are working in mission mode in this sector," he added. R&D efforts have been launched, and 13 offshore blocks have been identified for auction. A dedicated division within the Geological Survey of India (GSI) has been created for critical mineral exploration, with responsibilities assigned across various states, including Jammu & Kashmir. He also stated that the government has finalised projects to reclaim 143 closed coal mines and is preparing to have the Rs 2 lakh crore spent from the District Mineral Fund audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG). During the discussion, several members praised the Bill and offered inputs. BJP's Bheem Singh called the Bill a step to strengthen the regulatory framework for industrially and strategically significant deep-seated minerals. Milind Deora (Shiv Sena) said the Bill will allow Indian companies to invest in foreign rare mineral mines and boost domestic processing capacity, marking a step toward self-reliance in critical minerals. He also suggested encouraging green mining and recycling of old solar panels. NCP's Praful Patel urged the government to ease environmental regulations to prevent future bottlenecks. AIADMK's Thambi Durai raised concerns about illegal mining in Tamil Nadu and mentioned the arrest of a ruling party member in connection with unlawful activities. Tamil Manila Congress (M)'s GK Vasan also highlighted the issue of illegal sand mining in Tamil Nadu, which is harming the ecology and reducing state revenue. He said the groundwater level is falling due to negligence by the state government. YSR Congress's Ayodhya Rami Reddy Alla welcomed the easing of rules for deep-seated mining leases, saying it will improve investment efficiency and mineral supply. Biju Janata Dal's Manas Ranjan Mangaraj demanded higher mineral royalties for Odisha. BJP's Aditya Prasad alleged that coal smuggling under the Congress-supported government in Jharkhand has hurt legal sales and claimed that a youth activist opposing illegal mining was killed in a staged encounter. While some Opposition members had submitted notices for amendments, they were absent during the session. After the Bill was passed, the Rajya Sabha was adjourned for the day to meet tomorrow at 11 am. UNI RBE SSP

State signs Rs42k cr investment agreements to boost industry, job creation
Nagpur: The state govt has signed memorandums of understanding (MoUs) worth Rs42,000 crore of investment proposals. This includes a Rs10,900 crore solar power equipment project by Jupiter International Limited, and a Rs4,300 crore integrated steel plant in Chandrapur by Vow Iron and Steel Private Limited, a Nagpur-based company. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Jupiter International, which has proposed a Rs10,900 crore investment creating more than 8,300 jobs, plans to set up a solar water, solar cell, and modules manufacturing unit at Butibori. The state sees this as a move towards propelling Maharashtra into a leadership position in renewable energy. Jupiter International is a West Bengal-based company. TOI reported its plans to start a solar cells unit in Nagpur on August 18. The MoU was signed the day after. Vow Iron and Steel will be setting up the integrated steel plant at Gondpipri in Chandrapur. The company proposes to create 1,500 jobs in this project. With Gadchiroli emerging as the preferred destination for the steel industry, the project is also expected to boost industrial development of Chandrapur district. The company has Ujwal Pagariya and Ankit Pagariya at the helm as directors. Webmint Digital Private Limited, which also has the Pagariyas as promoters, also signed an MoU for a data centre in the Taloja Industrial area in Pune with an investment of Rs4,846 crore, creating 2,050 jobs. Around 26,000 jobs are proposed to be created with all the MoUs clubbed. Chairman of the Confederation of Small Industry Associations (COSIA) Julfesh Shah said as MoUs mark the industrial development of the region, it must be ensured that it translates into actual investment at the earliest. The state must also come up with the much-awaited new industrial policy. As the state signed eight different MoUs, the majority of the proposals included setting up data centres. Most of the companies have kept the choice of location open, said a source.
