CSM Technologies says its digital system for declaring, assessing and paying mineral royalties in Kenya went live on September 28.
India-based CSM Technologies says it has launched a royalty management system in Kenya for the State Department for Mining. The company describes it as a nationwide digital channel for declaring, assessing, paying and monitoring mineral royalties.
The platform went live on September 28 and was implemented through CSM Technologies’ wholly owned Kenyan subsidiary. Holders of mineral rights and licensed dealers can register profiles, file declarations, receive automated assessments, generate invoices and pay online. The system also lets users track compliance, view authenticated transaction records, and monitor penalties and outstanding liabilities.
Under Kenya’s Mining Act, holders of mineral rights must pay royalties on minerals produced and sold. The revenue-sharing framework allocates proceeds to the national government (70%), county governments (20%) and host communities (10%).
Company figures say Kenya’s mining and quarrying sector grew 14.9% in 2025 after contracting 7.8% in 2024. The State Department for Mining put mineral exports at about $220 million in the 2024–25 financial year and royalty receipts at 991.3 million Kenyan shillings.
CSM Technologies says the Kenyan deployment draws on its digital mining-governance work in India, including projects for the governments of Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. The company provided the information about the launch and the figures cited.
