The Ministry warned that failure to do so will force the Centre to begin the auction process. As per the amendment in mining rules made in 2021, the Centre has the power to put on sale the mineral blocks in case a State government fails to auction the mines within the mutually agreed period.

Of these 354 auctioned blocks, production has begun in 48 mineral blocks, amounting to a significant increase in revenue earnings to those States that have auctioned the mineral blocks, sources said.
