Mining Disputes
MMDR Act proceedings, mining lease disputes, regulatory compliance and litigation before the NGT and the High Courts.
What we do
Mining law in India is governed primarily by the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957. Disputes in this sector arise between mining companies and landowners over mineral rights, between companies and the state over lease terms and renewal, and between industry and regulators over environmental compliance.
At Midas Legal, we advise mining companies, landowners and affected communities on the full range of mining-related disputes — from regulatory compliance and lease challenges to litigation before the National Green Tribunal (NGT) and the High Courts.
