Purpose

This study aims to find and evaluate the impact of COVID-19 in India’s mining activities. From the literature survey and input from experts, 14 important factors and ten green recovery strategies are identified. These 14 factors and 10 strategies are examined in a real industrial environment.

Design/methodology/approach

In this research study, fuzzy-complex proportional assessment is used to compare the identified strategies with the selected factors. Based on the outcome, this study identifies the optimum strategy that could assist the mining industry in handling both COVID-19 and sustainability issues.

Findings

The study’s outcome reveals that a large group of workers, collapse of demand and disruption, and suffered contractual workers are the top three factors that need to be considered regarding COVID-19 and sustainability issues. Effective strategies for eco-innovation practices, an emphasis on health and safety, and environmental awareness, education and training are the three primary strategies to be implemented for the greatest impact.

Originality/value

This research study is the first of its kind to coordinate both issues of COVID-19 and sustainability. In this regard, this study sheds a timely light on the precautions that need to be taken in tackling COVID-19 and sustainability issues. This study’s outcome will enhance the managerial capability in developing robust and effective strategies for handling difficult situations.

印度采矿业的绿色复苏战略：从 COVID-19 大流行中吸取的教训

目的

本研究旨在发现和评估 COVID-19 对印度采矿活动的影响。根据文献调查和专家的意见，确定了 14 个重要因素和 10 个绿色恢复策略。这 14 个因素和 10 个策略在真实的工业环境中进行了检查。

设计/方法/方法

在这项研究中，模糊复数比例评估用于将识别的策略与选定的因素进行比较。根据结果​​，本研究确定了可以帮助采矿业处理 COVID-19 和可持续性问题的最佳策略。

发现

该研究的结果表明，大量工人、需求崩溃和中断以及受苦的合同工是关于 COVID-19 和可持续性问题需要考虑的三大因素。生态创新实践的有效策略、对健康和安全的重视以及环境意识、教育和培训是为产生最大影响而实施的三个主要策略。

原创性/价值

这项研究是第一个协调 COVID-19 和可持续性问题的研究。在这方面，这项研究及时揭示了在解决 COVID-19 和可持续性问题时需要采取的预防措施。这项研究的结果将提高管理人员制定稳健有效的策略来处理困难情况的管理能力。
