These seven blocks hold a combined geological reserve of approximately 1,761.49 million tonnes. The cumulative Peak Rated Capacity (PRC) of these blocks stands at 5.25 MTPA (excluding partially explored coal blocks).

The block-wise result for auctions held is as under:

These blocks are expected to generate an annual revenue of approximately Rs.719.90 crore (excluding partially explored blocks), likely to attract a capital investment of around Rs.787.50 crore, and create 7,098 employment opportunities.

Since the inception of commercial coal mining in 2020, a total of 131 coal blocks has been auctioned successfully, with a production capacity of 277.31 Million Tonnes per year. Upon operationalization, these blocks will immensely contribute to enhance domestic coal production and in making country self-reliant in coal sector.
