One important characteristic of the Indian mining industry is that it contains a large number of small operational mines which are mostly in the private sector. These are operated largely by manual labour and without mechanisation, as either proprietary or partnership ventures. According to the Indian Bureau of Mines (IBM), the private sector plays a dominant role in mineral production, accounting for 67% of its total output value as of FY2017. However, in some segments, the state continues to be a major player. The minerals which were wholly mined by the public sector in FY2017 were copper ore and concentrate, diamond, fluorite (graded), selenite, and sulphur. The public sector accounts for 99% of both gold and phosphorite mining, and for 76% of graphite and 54% of magnesite mining. Almost the entire production of sand, lignite and gypsum comes from the public sector as well.
