Summary
Parliament approved the Mines and Minerals Amendment Bill, 2026, on Thursday. This legislation empowers the central government to regulate state taxes on mineral rights. Excessive fiscal burdens were cited as a reason for the new restrictions. The move follows a Supreme Court verdict allowing states to levy additional mining taxes. A uniform fiscal framework will guide future mining tax impositions across the nation.
