Minerals, located at Village-Lohari Khurd Deva KaKhera,Tehsil –Hindoli, District-Bundi, Rajasthan Mine Lease Area 61.0Ha. 29 Aug 2018
2.NABased on the information submitted and presentation made by PP, the Committee deferred the proposal and sought the following requisite information/clarifications: - (i). The Committee deliberated the issues and concluded that it is non-compliance of EC as the PP has not transfer the EC as per the provisions of the EIA Notification and continued mining operation w.e.f. 2008 without transfer of EC. Moreover, the lease was transfer to Sh. Ajay Singh Chaplot in 2010 and further transferred in the name of M/s B.R. Minerals in 2013. The Ministry may take a view on this non-compliance as per provisions of E(P) Act, 1986. (ii). The Committee noted that the instant proposal is for expansion of Mining Project of China Clay from 5000 TPA (ROM) to 17,58,163 TPA (ROM) i.e. 350 times and Quartz f 30 Jul 2018
