The Mines ministry is closely working with the Bhaskaracharya Institute of Space applications and Geo- Informatics (BISAG) under the Department of Communications and IT for developing suitable technology for the platform. The Mining Surveillance System (MSS) will track the mine lease area and will detect even the slightest change in the topography thereby curb illegal mining. Once the process of auctioning of mine allotment starts the private mine owners will play a crucial role in the forth coming days and the stringent rules can surely see that the minerals are explored judiciously without causing environmental hazards.
The steel sector is passing through a very difficult phase due to economic slowdown globally that has shaken the steel sector.

The per capita consumption of steel in India is 60 kgs and the global average is 225 kgs. The budget has focused on infrastructure such as national highways, bridges, railways etc that will boost demand for steel.
