Star Cement has clarified that it is no longer required to pay mineral cess, following the enactment of the MMDR Amendment Act 2026.

Regulatory development under MMDR Amendment Act 2026

The company's position reflects a direct outcome of the MMDR Amendment Act 2026, which has altered the mineral cess obligations applicable to it. Star Cement has formally communicated that this legislative change removes its liability to pay the mineral cess going forward.

The MMDR Amendment Act 2026 represents a significant regulatory update in the minerals sector. Star Cement's statement indicates that the amendment directly affects its financial obligations related to mineral cess, relieving the company of this particular levy.
