āNational Mines and Small Industries Corporation Limitedā is not a valid entity or a subject that falls under the control of the Ministry of Mines. There is no such public sector undertaking under this Ministry.
The Ministry of Mines is responsible for geological surveys, mineral exploration, regulation of mines and minerals, and public sector undertakings related to major minerals like NMDC, NALCO, HCL. The National Small Industries Corporation (NSIC) is a PSU under the Ministry of MSME, not the Ministry of Mines.
