Product Description
Commercial's The Mines & Minerals (Development & Regulation) Act, 1957 (2026 Edition) stands as the definitive statutory reference handbook and comprehensive bare act for navigating the legal architecture governing India's mining and mineral sectors. Published by the trusted house of Commercial Law Publishers (India) Pvt. Ltd. with Lexlegis.ai as its official knowledge partner, this manual delivers an uncompromised compilation of active statutes, major central rules, executive orders, and state policies tailored for professional legal practice. This core legal volume features the complete text of Act 67 of 1957, fully updated with the sweeping changes brought by the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2026. Rather than presenting the bare code in isolation, this handbook offers an exhaustive statutory ecosystem. It brings together over twenty vital allied rules and codes under a single index, including the Mineral Concession Rules 1960 (amended up to 2026), the Mineral Conservation and Development Rules 2017, the Offshore Areas Mineral (Development and Regulation) Act 2002, Coal Mines (Special Provisions) Rules, and the National Mineral Policy 2019. A key highlight of this bare act is its integration of practical litigation metrics. Every critical section is paired with expert short comments and concise notes that decode complex statutory language, lease terms, auction parameters, and contribution frameworks for District Mineral Foundations (DMF). By tracking the newest notification timelines—such as recent GSR changes to atomic minerals, concession formats, and environmental conservation targets—the text protects corporate legal teams and miners from administrative non-compliance. Whether you are an environmental advocate handling mining lease disputes before the National Green Tribunal, an in-house counsel managing infrastructure compliance pipelines, a regulatory officer within the Ministry of Mines, or an academic researcher, this professional textbook is an essential daily desk reference. It eliminates complex lookup fatigue across disparate gazette notifications by implementing a highly structured layout and clear cross-referencing markers. Build robust legal frameworks, secure resource assets against regulatory changes, and execute compliance strategies with complete statutory clarity. Read more
