New Market Research Report: India Mining Report Q4 2015

India's inadequate operating environment will continue to hamper growth in the mining sector. Despite positive regulatory reforms, it is unlikely that the domestic coal deficit will be reduced anytime soon. India's new mining bill will generally improve mineral production by reopening previously closed mines and improve the operational certainty of miners. However, in an environment of lower prices, the additional costs that come along with the bill will dampen its impact on production.

While growing domestic demand for commodities will incentivise state-owned miners to expand production, we believe that India's poor operating environment will continue to restrict growth in the mining sector. A spate of bureaucratic and regulatory hurdles will remain major challenges for miners to grapple with over the coming quarters. For instance, the difficulties in land acquisition and the securing of environmental clearances have led to a series of mining projects being delayed over the past year. Vedanta Resources was forced to put its bauxite mining project in Odisha on hold due to fierce protests by the local community. A bright spot, however is Prime Minister Modi's passage of the Coal Mines (Special Provisions) Bill in March 2015 and reforms made to Coal India, which has helped to boost coal production.

We believe the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will continue to implement positive reforms to revive economic growth over the medium term. The party's track record of pro-business dealings could bring about an improved operating climate in the mining sector.
