With Indian Government’s increasing focus to reform the mining sector, it is evident that this sector is key to India’s growth ambition of achieving a USD 5 Trillion economy. Growth of the Indian metals and mining industry has been historically driven by domestic consumption, however, in order to realize the full potential of mining, the sector has to undergo disruptive innovations. Digital disruption has ample opportunities for players in the mining sector to innovate, address specific challenges, enhance productivity, and increase performance.
