Start mining within six months through Goa Mineral Development Corporation

Partial. The promise was to start mining in Goa within six months of returning to power, through the Goa Mineral Development Corporation. Counting from the government start date of 2022-03-28, the six-month window ended on 2022-09-27. The Directorate of Mines and Geology issued the first post-election NIT for auction of four iron ore blocks on 2022-09-30, just outside the six-month window, and actual mining operations resumed much later. The New Indian Express reported that mining operations resumed in Goa on 2024-04-05 with Vedanta starting operations at the Bicholim mineral block. The 2026 Governor's Address says 12 iron ore blocks had been auctioned and five had become operational. This confirms mining restart/progress, but not within six months and not clearly through Goa Mineral Development Corporation as promised.
