General Informations

The minerals and mining industry is the backbone of industrial development, supporting key sectors such as infrastructure, energy, manufacturing, and technology. In recent years, the importance of critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements has increased significantly due to their essential role in clean energy technologies, electric vehicles, and digital technology. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure a stable and secure supply of these minerals as it is vital for economic growth, energy transition, and technological self-reliance. This increasing demand needs to be balanced through the adoption of sustainable mining practices that reduce environmental and social impacts.

 

The mining sector is striving to transition to low-carbon mining practices through renewable energy adoption, mineral beneficiation and zero waste mining, electrification of machinery, and improved efficiency through automation and artificial intelligence to achieve India’s target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2070. Initiatives focused on scientific mine closure, rehabilitation, reclamation practices, increased community engagement, circular economy, adoption of advanced technologies, integrating Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) practices are key focus areas for building inclusive and sustainable mining sector in India.

 

Despite its economic importance and significant efforts, the Indian mining sector faces a range of environmental and social challenges, alongside persistent difficulties in obtaining statutory approvals, particularly forest clearances for mining operations. While these regulatory processes are crucial for environmental protection and sustainable land use, this also poses operational challenges for timely project development and faster operationalization of mines. Therefore, it is necessary to streamline clearance procedures, strengthen environmental governance, and promote responsible mining practices that balance mineral development needs with ecological conservation.

 

In this background, FIMI is organizing the ‘Sustainable Mining Summit 2026’ at Hotel Mayfair Lagoon, Bhubaneswar on 22-23 June, 2026. The summit aims to deliberate on various mining issues concerning sustainability, which will result in formulation of roadmap for sustainable mining in India. Various stakeholders, including government agencies, regulators, industry leaders, practicing managers, NGOs, academicians, and strategists, are expected to come together on this platform to deliberate in discussions and engage on key issues of the mining sector.
