Summary
The central government is poised to restrict state authority concerning taxation on mining activities. This initiative aims to enhance the national viability of mining operations, as previous overly burdensome taxes deterred mineral extraction. Following a 2024 Supreme Court ruling that permitted states to add taxes, the proposed legislation aspires to introduce a standardized and fair financial framework for the mining industry.
