Summary
Lok Sabha passed the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026, curbing states' powers to impose taxes and cess on mineral rights, with mining minister G Kishan Reddy citing the need for a uniform fiscal framework. RSP MP Premachandran N K opposed the move as unconstitutional, arguing land taxation is exclusively a state subject.
