Goa mining industry welcomes renewal of iron ore leases

India TV News  

New Delhi: The mining industry and its dependents have welcomed Goa government's move to renew the leases for resumption of iron ore tapping, suspended for last two years following a Supreme Court order. "The news with regard to the renewal of certain lease areas is a positive step towards commencement of the sector, which has been in suspended animation for over two years," said Fomento Resources Managing Director Ambar Timblo, whose four mining leases have been renewed. But, we feel that the Supreme Court judgement had come in April and hence, it is too little too late," Goa Mining People's Front leader Christopher Fonseca said. The impact of ban on mining also reflected on the country's GDP growth, which plunged to below 5 per cent in the last two fiscals while the mining sector has been reporting negative growth for last three years, as per official figures.
