India became one of the producer and supplier of iron ore y, alternate power is yet to fulfill demand and there is no mass e of thermal power plant. re, coal mining is also increasing year on year.

Considering the mining industry, what could be some technologies of the future?

Demand for other metals and non metals are also high such that mining industry is unable to fulfill current the demand This will continue for next 7 to 10 years India is one of the fastest growing economy We can see the boom in mining industry to walk along the economic development. The production is not sufficient to meet the demand Entire mining industry is now implementing AI, to reduce break down and production loss. New technologies and automations are implemented for uninterrupted supply chain. This will continue in future.

Would you like to share any personal learnings from your vast industry experience?

Though alternate resources and options are under R&D to save natural resources

But until we get an alternate solution to match up the huge demand, mining will be major part for development. However, alternate sources will serve a part of the demand One of the concerns we need to look into- balance of the nature and environmental protection during mining The environmental hazards, health and safety needs to be addressed.
