India Mining Week 2026: Global Connect Draws 19 Missions

The correct answer is Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, from 15 to 17 November 2026. The venue and the three dates were both stated at the India Mining: Global Connect outreach meeting, where the Minister of State invited dignitaries to the opening on 15 November. Option A keeps the right venue city and dates but shifts the month to October, and also swaps in Bharat Mandapam, which is a different convention centre in the capital. Option C keeps the venue but pushes the event to December, a month later than announced. Option D keeps the correct dates but names Pragati Maidan, the older exhibition ground in New Delhi, instead of Yashobhoomi, which is the convention centre at Dwarka. Candidates should hold venue and month together, since questions usually change only one of the two.

The correct answer is 19. Representatives of diplomatic missions from nineteen countries joined the outreach interaction, among them Malawi, Sri Lanka, Mozambique, Algeria, the United States of America, Chile, Bhutan, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Russia, Iraq, Morocco, Venezuela, Spain, Poland, Mongolia, Zambia, France and Ghana, and the US Chamber of Commerce attended alongside them. Option D, fifty, is the figure that belongs to the main event: participation from more than fifty countries is expected at India Mining Week in November, which is a larger and later number than the missions at this preparatory meeting. Options A and C, twelve and twenty-five, have no basis in the outreach. The distinction worth remembering is that nineteen missions attended the build-up meeting while more than fifty countries are expected at the Week itself.

The correct answer is the Ministry of Coal and the Ministry of Mines, working together with the mining industry. That pairing is also reflected in who hosted the outreach: Satish Chandra Dubey holds charge as Minister of State for Coal and Mines, and Rupinder Brar is Additional Secretary in the Ministry of Coal. Option B replaces Coal with Steel; steel is a user of minerals rather than a regulator of mining, so it is not an organiser here. Option C keeps Coal but brings in Heavy Industries, which handles capital goods and automobiles and has no role in this event. Option D brings in Commerce and Industry, which handles trade and investment promotion generally but is not organising the Week. Remembering that one minister holds both Coal and Mines makes this pairing easy to recall.
