The Ministry of Coal’s Nominated Authority has issued vesting orders for three coal blocks under commercial coal block auctions on 23 October 2025. The Coal Mine Development and Production Agreements (CMDPAs) for these mines were earlier signed on 21 August 2025.

The three blocks include Rajgamar Dipside (Deavnara), Tangardihi North, and Mahuagarhi. Of these, two are partially explored while one is fully explored, with a combined peak rated capacity of around 1 MTPA and geological reserves of approximately 1,484.41 million tonnes.

These mines are expected to generate annual revenue of about Rs 1.9 billion, attract capital investments of Rs 1.5 billion, and create employment opportunities for nearly 1,352 people, both directly and indirectly.

With this, the Ministry has issued vesting or allocation orders for a total of 130 coal blocks under commercial auctions, having a cumulative peak rated capacity of about 267.24 MTPA. These collectively are projected to yield annual revenue of nearly Rs 377 billion and provide employment to over 3,60,000 people across the country.
