Monthly collections in District Mineral Funds (DMF) have recovered significantly from their lockdown lows, with the gap between collections during 2020 and 2019 narrowing by September-end.

According to data shared by the Ministry of Mines, country-wide DMF collections last month stood at ₹718.46 crore, up from ₹417.29 crore in May, when the country was in the throes of the Covid-19 lockdown.

But compared to the ₹770.99 crore accrued in September 2019, the collections trailed by 6.81 per cent year-on-year.

Under the Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana (PMKKKY), mining companies have to make a contribution for the development of districts where mining activities take place, over and above their royalty payments.

These DMF collections, therefore, are directly linked to the country’s mineral output.

The amount is accumulated in funds controlled by individual District Mineral Foundations.

Morgan Stanley: 2 Strong Value Stocks to Buy Now

Volatility is back on Wall Street. Following a meteoric rise, fears that valuations have grown too high have put pressure on stocks. With the upcoming presidential election, ongoing pandemic and flaring U.S.-China tensions only adding fuel to the fire, investors are trying to gauge where the market goes from here.

And going forward, that is a double-edged sword,” he explained. “This improvement,
