Mining Royalty Contract in Rajasthan Fails to Attract Bidders

Imagine the government has a contract to collect money from people who mine rocks.

This contract ended, and they put it up for bidding, but no one wants it!

They tried four times, even lowering the price, but still no takers.

Because they don't have a company collecting the money, the government is collecting it themselves, but they don't have enough people to do it.

This means the government is getting less money than before.

In the past, a company collected money for the big rocks, and some other small rocks.

This time, they wanted to add more types of rocks, but it didn't help attract bidders.
