Centre puts tungsten mining in TN on hold
The New Indian Express|December 25, 2024
THE Ministry of Mines on Tuesday requested the Tamil Nadu government to keep the process of issuing the Letter of Intent (LoI) to the preferred bidder, Hindustan Zinc Limited, for mining of tungsten in Nayakkarpatti Tungsten Block in Madurai on hold.

It has cited objections relating to auctioning of the block over the existence of biodiversity heritage site within block area. The Geological Survey of India (GSI) has been asked to explore the possibility of redefining the block boundary by excluding the biodiversity site, a press statement issued by the ministry on Tuesday said.

TNIE was the first to report about the plan to mine molybdenum and tungsten in Tamil Nadu. The ministry's announcement has come two weeks after Tamil Nadu Assembly on December 9 unanimously adopted a resolution urging the centre to immediately cancel the tungsten mining rights given to Hindustan Zinc Limited and not to grant any mining licence in the future without the permission of the state government.
