Coal Ministry issues vesting orders for three new coal blocks

The Ministry of Coal’s Nominated Authority has issued vesting orders for three coal blocks under the commercial coal block auctions held earlier this year. The orders were granted on October 23, 2025, following the signing of Coal Mine Development and Production Agreements (CMDPAs) on August 21, 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 around 1 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). Together, they hold geological reserves of approximately 1.48 billion tonnes.

These projects are expected to generate annual revenue of about Rs 1.9 billion and attract capital investments worth Rs 1.5 billion. They are also projected to create employment for around 1,352 people, both directly and indirectly.

With this round, the ministry has issued vesting or allocation orders for 130 coal blocks under commercial auctions, with a cumulative PRC of about 267 million tonnes per annum. Collectively, these mines are expected to generate annual revenue of approximately Rs 377 billion and provide employment to over 361,000 people across the country.

The move marks another step in India’s effort to boost domestic coal production, reduce import dependence, and promote private participation in the mining sector.
