India To Launch 13th Round Of Coal Mine Auctions On 21 August

The Ministry of Coal will launch the 13th round of commercial coal mine auctions on 21 August 2025 in New Delhi. The event will be attended by Union Minister of Coal and Mines G. Kishan Reddy as Chief Guest and Minister of State for Coal and Mines Satish Chandra Dubey as Guest of Honour.
This round marks another significant milestone in advancing transparency, competition, and self-reliance in India’s coal sector. Since its launch in 2020 under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the commercial coal mine auction framework has transformed the sector by enhancing efficiency, reducing dependence on imports, and ensuring adequate supply for the nation’s rising energy demand.
The 13th round will continue to offer coal mines on liberal terms designed to promote ease of doing business and attract a diverse range of investors, from established miners to new entrants and technology-driven enterprises. Mines on offer will include both fully explored and partially explored blocks, with potential for underground and surface coal gasification.
In addition, Coal Mine Development and Production Agreements (CMDPAs) will be signed for 11 coal mines successfully allocated in previous rounds.
The Ministry has invited industry leaders, investors, and stakeholders to participate in this landmark event, which underscores India’s commitment to reforms, energy security, and responsible coal mining.
As India moves forward with its vision of Viksit Bharat, the Ministry of Coal reiterated its dedication to fostering a dynamic ecosystem for investment and growth in the coal sector.
