According to the Supreme Court of India, an Aravalli Hill is defined as any landform rising at least 100 meters (328 feet) above the surrounding terrain and is located within any of the districts designated as the Aravalli districts. Two or more such hills located within 500 meters (1,640 feet) of each other, along with the land between them, constitute the Aravalli Range. While the Indian government expects this definition to strengthen mining regulations and promote policy uniformity without weakening ecosystem protection, environmentalists warn that it could exclude nearly 90 percent of the Aravalli landscape, leaving large areas vulnerable to mining exploitation.
