Save Aravalli : How SC’s 100m Contour Cracks Down on Mining. The Supreme Court of India’s November 2025 order provides a uniform definition and strict protections for the Aravalli hills to halt degradation and ensure sustainable management. It addresses ecological crises from human interference while mandating restoration, balancing conservation with regulated development.

Supreme Court Order Summary
The Court defined Aravalli hills as any landform in notified districts rising 100 meters above surrounding ground, measured by the lowest contour line, encompassing slopes and hill systems. No new mining leases or renewals until scientific mapping via satellite and ground surveys. Existing operations continue under Central Empowered Committee oversight, with total bans in core zones like forests, wetlands, and aquifers.
Aravallis are not just hills these range is a natural shield for North India against Pollution,Heat & Water Crisis
Weakening these will put our future generations into greater trouble,
Will save Indias oldest Mountain range from illigal mining and ecological destruction.… pic.twitter.com/HKv09m5Dla

100-Metre Rule Impact
This threshold standardizes protection across Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat, and Delhi, closing state-specific loopholes that allowed mining in disputed areas. It protects over 100-meter elevations as no-go zones for extraction, preserving 670 km of the range as a desert barrier and water recharge hub, though critics note it may exclude smaller hills vulnerable to erosion.
Save Aravalis. Save Mewar.
Supreme Court’s ruling of considering only mountains with 100 meters above local relief, as Aravalis exclude 90% of the range.

Ecological Services
Aravallis block Thar Desert winds, recharge aquifers for rivers like Chambal and Sabarmati, regulate Delhi-NCR climate via rainfall enhancement, and host leopards, hyenas, and 150+ bird species. They sustain groundwater for 10 crore people, mitigate floods, and curb air pollution in urban belts.
Aravallis are not just hills, they are lifelines. They block desertification and preserve groundwater. Cutting them today will cost generations tomorrow. Development without sustainability is destruction. Save Aravalli, save life. #aravalli #aravallihills #udaipur #rajasthan pic.twitter.com/uMUGhqxuAT

Damaging Human Activities
Illegal mining has razed 31 of 128 Rajasthan hills in 50 years, fragmenting habitats and spewing dust from 1,000+ crushers. Urban sprawl in Gurugram-Delhi erodes slopes, deforestation opens desert corridors, and quarrying pollutes water, worsening droughts and wildlife conflicts.

We’ve already caused irreversible damage to our surroundings. Aravallis can’t be the next casualty!
We must draw a line collectively
Non-sustainable Growth is not progress, it’s never ending Greed!
Save Aravali. Before there’s nothing left to save!pic.twitter.com/Y8dGUnAmlb

Restoration Projects
The Aravalli Green Wall Mission (2024, Rs 2,029 crore) plants 13 crore trees across 22 districts from Porbandar to Panipat. Grow-Trees.com has restored 10,000+ hectares with native species since 2016. Court rules compel miners to backfill pits and afforest sites; states target 5 lakh saplings yearly via community drives.
