Particulars of Arrangement in Formulation of Policy

[Section-4 (1) (b) (vii)]

LONG TERM LINKAGE POLICY:

Long term Linkage of Iron, Chrome Ore and other minerals to the MoU signed Steel Plant Companies of Odisha through M/s Odisha Mining Corporation Ltd.

Since more than 1/3rd of the iron ore reserve and over 90% of the country’s chrome ore deposits among other minerals are found in the State, the pro-active initiative of the State Government for Industrial Facilitation has attracted both the Domestic and Foreign Companies for setting up Mineral based industries in the State.

And whereas, in the process, out of the 49 nos. of MoUs signed by this Department with prospecting investors for iron and Steel Industries, already 31 nos. of units have either fully or partially started the production. Similarly, in case of Aluminum Projects, Government has signed MoU with few companies. These Industries having fulfilled their part of the commitment, are expecting the State Government to fulfill its part of the commitment especially with reference to making arrangement for meeting their requirement of raw materials.

The State Government have taken many initiatives as depicted below for ensuing raw materials supply to such industries, the assured availability of raw material particularly iron, chrome ore and other minerals has become a matter of concern.

The long-term linkage should be for 5 years.

Quantity to be assured under long-term linkage should be determined by a committee consisting of the following officials:-

(i) Secretary, Industries - Chairman

(ii) Director of Mines, Odisha - Member

(iii) CMD, IPICOL - Member

(iv) Chairman/MD, OMC - Member-Convener

While deciding the linkage quantity, production from captive mines, if any, shall be taken into consideration and the balance requirement only should be committed under long-term linkage.

IRON ORE LINKAGE:
(a) 50% of saleable stock will be placed under Long-term linkage for MoU–signed Steel Plants.

(b) The remaining 50% saleable stock shall be sold through National e-Auction to be conducted by OMC at an suitable intervals i.e. monthly / bi-monthly/quarterly.
(c) Weighted average price derived from the National e-Auction will be the long-term linkage price for the appropriate grades.

(d) MoU-signed Steel Plant with whom long-term linkage will be established by OMC can also take part in the National e-auction.

(e) Within the MoU- signed Steel Plants, Blast Furnace based integrated Steel Plants will be given priority over others.

(f) MoU-signed Steel Plants which are already in operation will be given preference over MoU-signed plants which are yet to be commissioned.

CHROME ORE LINKAGE:

(a) 70% of the saleable stock shall be made available for long-term linkage to State-based end-users.

(b) The remaining 30% of saleable stock shall be sold through National e-Auction.

(d) State–based end-user plants having long-term linkage can also take part in the National e-Auction.

(e) OMC will ensure requirement of Chromite supply to all State based industries.

Further, the sale agreement shall be executed in the Model Form ‘A’ for iron ore and in Model Form ‘B’ for chrome ore, as attached to this notification. The OMC will devise similar sales Agreement for other minerals like bauxite, manganese etc.

NATIONAL MINERAL POLICY, 2008:

The main objective of the National Mineral Policy, 2008 is to have a more effective, meaningful and implementable policy that brings in further transparency, better regulation and enforcement, balanced social and economic growth as well as sustainable mining practices. The National Mineral Policy was first framed in the year 1993.

NMP 2008 states that:

All mining shall be undertaken within the parameters of a comprehensive Sustainable Development Frameworkwhich includes guiding principles for a miner to leave the mining area in a better ecological condition after mining.
It aims for optimum utilization of the Country’s natural mineral resources.
Mines and Mineral(Development & Regulations) Act, 1957 empowers Central Government to frame rulesfor conservation and systematic development of minerals and for the protection of environment by preventing or controlling any pollution which may be caused by prospecting or mining operations.
Accordingly, Mineral Conservation and Development Rules (MCDR), 1988 were framed to regulate of environmental aspects of mining.
As regulators, Indian Bureau of Mines (IBM) and State Government approvethe mining plan.
As per the provisions of Mineral Conservation and Development Rules 1988, IBM carries out periodical inspections of mines to monitor conservation of minerals, systematic and scientific mining and protection of environment in the leasehold areas of minerals other than minor minerals, coal and atomic minerals.
he Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change has notified the Environment Assessment (EIA) Notification, 2006 under the provisions of Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 to regulate the grant of environment clearance for various projects including mining projects.
The impact on environment due to mining project is assessed by an EIA study.

Based on the same, Environmental Management Plan is prepared which is considered and the Environment Clearance is granted stipulating conditions to regulate impact on environment due to the project.
The Central Government while according approval under the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 stipulates appropriate mitigative measures, such as,

Creation and maintenance of compensatory afforestation
Realization of Net Present Value of the diverted forest land
Implementation of wildlife conservation plan (wherever required)
Phased reclamation of mined out area
Demarcation of boundary of mining lease etc.

Safeguards are in place to ensure that approvals under the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 for diversion of forest land for mining are accorded only after ascertaining that the area of forest land to be diverted is bare minimum and its diversion for non-forest purpose/mining is unavoidable.
