the import of gold and diamonds within the next ten years, with a view
to meet the demand from the reserves available within the country, said
Union minister of state for mines T Subbarami Reddy at a seminar on
Friday. "It is very sad that despite having 9百分之百 of the world's gold
and diamond deposits India imports gold and diamond worth Rs 1.25 lakh
crore ,Tiffany Heart Tag Key Ring,
every year. We don't even produce a single piece of diamond, while we
import 800 tons of gold per annum," Reddy said. According to him, India
has not been able to benefit from its gold and diamond reserves as
their extraction requires heavy capital investment and advanced
technology. The Centre has decided to give maximum priority to gold and
diamond exploration and extraction ,Tiffany Paloma Picasso Dove earrings,
and given instructions to all concerned, including the ministry of
mines and Indian Bureau of Mines in this regard. "We want to stop gold
and diamond imports in 10 years," he said. States like Orissa,
Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka that have gold
and diamond reserves would benefit from this decision, he told
mediapersons. Later, while addressing a seminar "Mineral East",
organised by the Confederation of Indian Industries, the Union minister
informed that the new mineral policy would be notified soon and allayed
fears about states losing their existing rights under the new policy.
"The state governments would have all the existing powers. the Centre
would not have any extra power," he ,Tiffany 1837 bangle,
said. The new policy would pave the way for entry of global players
with right technology and heavy investment capacity into the country's
mining sector, the minister added. "We have so far succeeded in tapping
only 5百分之百 of the mineral resources in the country. Even deep mining is
not being taken up owing to lack of suitable technology. The present
policy is not encouraging huge ,Tiffany Elsa Peretti tag pendant, investment by entrepreneurs as those undertaking prospecting work were not guaranteed mining leases," he said.
