Reading this record

What the evidence says — and does not say

What kind of figure?
Program envelopeThe ceiling of a programme, fund or facility that awards are drawn from.
What has happened legally?
AuthorizedLegal or budgetary authority exists, e.g. an enacted statute or cabinet approval.
Has money been paid?
Follow the payment evidenceThis status does not itself establish a cash payment. In particular, a signed contract does not necessarily establish an obligation of funds.
What does it link to?
Project attributionNo direct registered project association is coded for this row. A project or facility may still be named in source text; absence of a link is not proof of inactivity.

This value role is not included in SMPT's public-recipient commitment totals. A ceiling, indication, private contribution or project cost is not an additional government award. A financial record alone never independently verifies construction, commissioning or production. Read SMPT's counting and evidence rules.

Notes

Rs.1 crore = 10,000,000 rupees. The headline gives an outlay of Rs.34,300 crore over seven years, the sum of this expenditure and the Rs.18,000 crore of expected PSU investment; the two are recorded separately and the sum is not stored. Stages follow the release: exploration, mining, beneficiation and processing, recovery from end-of-life products, a domestic stockpile and research.

Evidence

Every populated field names the source that states it, how directly, and where.
