Coal Ministry to Launch 12th Round of Commercial Coal Mine Auctions

27 Mar 2025 CW Team

In this round, 25 coal mines will be offered, including 7 mines under the CMSP Act, 2015 and 18 under the MMDR Act, 1957. The auction includes 2 lignite mines catering to diverse energy needs. Of the total mines, 13 are fully explored and 12 are partially explored, presenting opportunities for both immediate extraction and future development.

Additionally, under the second attempt of Round 11, the Ministry is offering three partially explored coal mines under the MMDR Act, opening new investment avenues while reinforcing domestic coal production.

The Government aims to establish a transparent, market-driven coal economy, fostering competition, efficiency, and sustainable mining. Since the launch of commercial coal mine auctions by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on June 18, 2020, the initiative has unlocked India's coal potential and attracted significant investor interest.

The 12th Tranche of Auctions is expected to draw strong participation from both domestic and international investors, further advancing India's goal of self-reliance in energy. This initiative will accelerate the growth of a resilient coal sector, supporting industries, power plants, and infrastructure development.

The Ministry of Coal remains committed to reforms, ease of doing business, and fostering a thriving coal mining ecosystem. As India moves toward Viksit Bharat, these initiatives will play a crucial role in strengthening the nation’s economic foundation.
