1 May
Summary
- TEXMiN participated in a NITI Aayog policy dialogue on mining.
- The dialogue focused on Mining 4.0 and critical mineral security.
- India's diverse mining landscape requires tailored technology solutions.
TEXMiN, a Technology Translation Research Park supported by the Department of Science and Technology, recently participated in a significant policy dialogue hosted by NITI Aayog. The event convened senior government leadership, including NITI Aayog's Vice Chairman Suman K Bery, to discuss the future of India's mining and critical minerals sector. This engagement highlighted TEXMiN's role as an innovation enabler within the mining ecosystem.
The core focus of the dialogue was to advance India's transition towards Mining 4.0, which signifies a move from traditional, labor-intensive operations to intelligent, data-driven, and increasingly autonomous systems. Discussions also addressed the critical need for strengthening the nation's security in critical minerals and fostering a robust, technology-driven mining environment. This initiative aims to ensure India's long-term competitiveness and self-reliance in the global market.
During the session, TEXMiN articulated the global trend of mining modernization and underscored the specific complexities of India's mining landscape. This includes the coexistence of large enterprises and MSMEs, each with distinct levels of technological maturity. Addressing these structural challenges from exploration and data integration to safety and productivity is central to TEXMiN's mission.
