Coal Ministry issues vesting orders for three new blocks

The Nominated Authority, Ministry of Coal, has issued Vesting Orders for three coal blocks under the commercial coal block auctions on 23 October 2025. The Coal Mine Development and Production Agreements (CMDPAs) for these blocks were earlier signed on 21 August 2025.

The three blocks — Rajgamar Dipside (Deavnara), Tangardihi North, and Mahuagarhi — include two partially explored and one fully explored site, with a peak rated capacity (PRC) of approximately 1 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). Together, these mines hold geological reserves of around 1.48 billion tonnes.

The blocks are expected to generate annual revenue of around Rs 1.9 billion and attract capital investment of Rs 1.5 billion. In addition, they will provide direct and indirect employment to about 1,352 people.

With this development, the Ministry has now issued vesting and allocation orders for 130 coal blocks under commercial auctions, representing a cumulative PRC of approximately 267.24 MTPA. These collectively are projected to generate annual revenue of around Rs 377 billion and create employment for nearly 361,300 people across the country.

This milestone underscores the Ministry’s commitment to enhancing domestic coal production, boosting economic activity, and generating sustainable employment through transparent and efficient commercial mining practices.
