Seven Coal Blocks Allotted Under Commercial Auctions

The Ministry of Coal has issued vesting orders for seven coal blocks under commercial auctions. These include Dahegaon Makardhokra IV, Saradhapur Jalatap East, Banai and Bhalumunda, Sahapur East, Seregarha, and Vijay Central. Among them, two are partially explored and five are fully explored, with peak rated capacity of around 13.07 million tonnes per annum and geological reserves of approximately 5,063 million tonnes.

These blocks are projected to generate annual revenue of Rs 13.27 billion and attract capital investment of Rs 24.55 billion. Employment for over 18,500 people will be created through direct and indirect means.

This brings the total number of coal blocks allotted under commercial auctions to 116, with cumulative peak capacity of about 261.304 million tonnes per annum. These are expected to generate Rs 370 billion in annual revenue and create jobs for nearly 350 thousand people.

For the first time, Western Coalfields Limited, a subsidiary of Coal India Limited, has secured a block through commercial auction—marking a step towards equitable access for all stakeholders.
