Metal producers
(steel, aluminium, zinc, etc.)
Smelters and refiners of base and precious metals

Industry Overview

The Indian metals and mining sector is vital to GDP and exports—but public scrutiny is growing.
Operations are often located in linguistically and politically sensitive areas.

95+ minerals produced
Mining activities span forest, tribal, and rural belts
Clearances from central, state, and local authorities
Media coverage affects both policy and perception

Your license to operate increasingly depends on real-time visibility and proactive narrative management.
