• Jharkhand Plans to Continue Mineral Cess Collection Amid MMDR Dispute Jharkhand’s revenue enhancement committee has approved continuing mineral cess collection despite the 2026 MMDR Amendment Act restricting states from imposing specified levies on mineral rights and mineral-bearing land. The state government is also considering a Supreme Court challenge. Mineral cess collections reached Rs.4,657 crore by August 2026, against an annual target of Rs.11,000 crore, while proposals are being prepared to raise revenue from minerals entering Jharkhand.
