Core Purpose

The Ministry of Mines, on behalf of the Central Government, amends its notification G.S.R. 786(E) dated 23rd August, 1989, by modifying the list of minerals for lime used as building material.

Detailed Summary

This notification, G.S.R. 751(E), issued by the Ministry of Mines on 10th October, 2025, amends a previous notification of the Government of India, G.S.R. 786(E), dated 23rd August, 1989. The amendment is made in exercise of powers conferred by clause (e) of section 3 of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 (67 of 1957). Specifically, in the principal notification, the phrase "limeshell, kankar and limestone when used in kilns for manufacture of lime used as building material" is substituted with "limeshell and kankar when used in kilns for manufacture of lime used as building material". This effectively removes "limestone" from the specified category of minerals when used for manufacturing lime as building material under the context of the amended notification. The principal notification was originally published in the Gazette of India, Extraordinary, Part II, Section 3, Sub-section (i).
