Government has launched Transparency, Auction Monitoring and Resource Augmentation (TAMRA) mobile application and portal to ensure transparent award of statutory clearances for mining operations.<br/><br/>Power Minister Piyush Goyal simultaneously launched this portal yesterday in New Delhi across 12 mineral rich States. Speaking on the occasion, Mr Goyal said, TAMRA is a step to speed up mining activity in the country and facilitate all the stakeholders to track the status of the statutory clearances associated with mining blocks. He said, it will be an interactive platform for all the stakeholders to compress the timeline for statutory and other clearances as it is expected to help minimise the gestation period for starting production.<br/><br/>Mr Goyal said, Centre is planning on bringing amendments to mining rules to bring transparency in award of exploration and mining licences for the 100 identified off-shore mineral blocks soon.
