Bhubaneswar-headquartered CSM Technologies said that it has deployed the Royalty Management System (RMS) for Kenya’s State Department for Mining. Kenya now collects mining royalties through a digital platform built by an Indian company.
This comes at a time when Kenya’s mining and quarrying sector grew 14.9% in 2025 after shrinking 7.8% the year before, according to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics. The State Department for Mining says mineral exports were estimated to be worth about $220 million in 2024-25 and brought in KSh 991.3 million (close to US $7.64 million) in royalties. CSM has built similar systems at home, including RajMines for Rajasthan, which has handled over 20.5 million digital transit permits, i3MS for Odisha and Khanij Online for Chhattisgarh. The company says it operates across 20 cities in 14 countries.
Onboarding help is being offered through Madini House in Nairobi and county mining offices. CSM handles design, development, deployment, training and post-launch support. The Kenya project adds to a growing list of Indian firms exporting public-sector tech to emerging markets.
The system went live on September 28 and is now the official channel for declaring, assessing, paying and tracking mineral royalties across the country. CSM executed the project through its wholly owned Kenyan arm, CSM Tech Limited.
