Case Study: Government of Odisha strengthens mining transparency and revenue collection with CSM Tech’s i3MS

Government of Odisha launches i3MS in 2010 with CSM Tech to track mining end-to-end

The Government of Odisha, a major mineral-rich state in India, faced significant challenges in its mining sector, including revenue leakage, manual processes, and inefficient coordination. To address these issues and ensure transparency, the government partnered with vendor CSM Tech to implement the Integrated Mines & Minerals Management System (i3MS).

CSM Tech's i3MS solution digitized the entire mining value chain, creating a tamper-proof system for real-time monitoring and automated workflows. This implementation by CSM Tech led to enhanced transparency, curbed illegal movement of minerals, ensured secure dispatches, and optimized royalty collection. The system significantly strengthened Odisha’s mining governance framework, setting a national benchmark for digital mineral management.
