Mining ⛏️ giant

Nepal has identified 92 stone mines in 14 districts with resources worth around Rs 400 kharba, but the government has not started operations due to legal restrictions, environmental concerns, and policy inaction.

The Department of Mines and Geology identified the mines in 2014 as environmentally suitable sources of stone, gravel, and sand for domestic infrastructure and possible export. The study found over 201 million cubic meters of construction materials, enough for more than 20 years of extraction, mainly in the Mahabharat range after a ban on extraction from the Chure region.

Governments have repeatedly included plans to extract and export construction materials in national budgets to reduce trade deficit and improve infrastructure quality, but implementation has stalled due to political changes and public opposition.

Industry leaders say operating the mines could strengthen Nepal’s economy, improve road and infrastructure quality, reduce maintenance costs, and allow exports to countries like Bangladesh and India. Bangladesh has long shown interest in importing construction materials from Nepal.

However, most mines lie in forest areas where the Forest Act 2019 restricts extraction, requiring legal amendments. Environmental experts also warn about ecological damage, waste management, and road damage from heavy transport.

Private sector groups have urged the government to reform laws, ensure environmental safeguards, and mobilize Nepal’s vast natural resources, which remain largely unused despite their significant economic potential.
