The newly auctioned mines are projected to generate an annual revenue of ~Rs.3,330 crore (excluding partially explored mines) and attract a capital investment of approximately Rs.2,319 crore. Additionally, these mines are expected to create 20,902 employment opportunities, significantly contributing to economic development in coal-bearing regions.

Since the inception of commercial coal mining in 2020, the Ministry of Coal has successfully auctioned a total of 125 coal mines, with a combined production capacity of 273.06 Million Tonnes per year. Once operationalized, these mines will play a crucial role in enhancing domestic coal production and strengthening India's energy security. Collectively, these mines are expected to generate an annual revenue of Rs.38,767 crore, attract a capital investment of Rs.40,960 crore, and create employment opportunities for approximately 4,69,170 people.

Production from commercial coal mines have shown significant growth. Production of coal in FY 23-24 was 12.55 MT and it has increased in FY 24-25 to 22.35 MT (till date) registering a growth of ~78.14%.

These strategic initiatives undertaken by the Ministry of Coal reaffirm its dedication to transforming the coal sector into a key driver of economic growth. By ensuring a robust and sustainable supply of coal, these efforts not only address the nation's energy demands but also foster economic stability and employment generation, further advancing the vision of an 'Atmanirbhar Bharat.'
